As some of you know, my sister Jennifer, is expected her second child just any day now. She is the mother of my neice Sam, that is 13 and rodeos with me. Jennifer has been having some problems and believe me, we all have been taking good care of her and lil Karley Jo(I sure was wanting Coraline). Jen went to the doctor the other day and JoJo(gota have a nickname) is already weighing close to 8 lbs, she had gain 2 lbs in one week. I swear that child is gonna come out in a pair of overalls, with a set of lines in her hand, and a hunk of cornbread in the other. It's only fit that she does for her Dad pulls mules and wears overalls all the time. Just picture Larry the Cable Guy in a pair of overalls and you have my brother-in-law. He gets told all the time that he looks like Larry.lol We have the nursery all ready and bags are packed for JoJo to make her entrance. Everyone knows that when she arrives, I get her and say a prayer in her ear just for her and God to hear and then I sing Happy Birthday to her. Just been something I do with all the little ones that enter in this world. I also write a note to the lil ones and the letter is put up until they turn 18 and that's when they can open the letter and see what it reads.I want all you to know how much you mean to me. I love you all dearly and not a day goes by that I don't think of you. Things are still rocky for me I have my good days and my bad days. I wish I could say the good out weigh the bad but I can't. I have felt the prayers and the hugs coming from each and every one of you. Words can not explain how much that means to me. I have started a journal where I write everything I'm going thru. I'm keeping that private for I don't want anyone to know the pain I have.
Aunt Jenny, at first I just cried and cried when I cut my hair but I love it now. Go far it!!!! Hey, the only difference between a good hair cut and a bad is a couple of weeks of growth.lol My head actually feels lighter and it looks so much healthier and thicker, like it needed to look thicker. I knew my hair was curly but now, it's beyond curly, it's kinky.lol

Laura,
I am so sorry that you've been having such a tough time. But it sounds like youre geting better. Sometimes, life just gets overwhelming. I've had JB on my prayer list and will add you on it as well. How exciting about little Jo Jo. And I'm sure you look good with the shorter, curlier hair! You are a beautiful lady.
Take care and take things one day at a time. God bless you!
Hugs and prayers,
Renoe
So great to hear from you Laura. I come by and check and send you good vibes. I know sometimes it seems hard to get up and put your feet on the floor and start another day. Thing is if we keep doing that, it all works out. I can look back and remember the times that I thought I just could not do it. Things were just so over whelming, nothing was right and I did not see how it would change. Guess what, it did and I made it and I know you will too. So hugs, prayers for strength come your way. Also a big welcome for Jo Jo, she is lucky to have a loving Aunt like you.
Good to hear from you again, I am going to cautiously say you sounded a little more upbeat? I hope that's what I heard in your post anyway.
I have to say that's an awesome thing you do for your families newbies! You guys sound so close I hope someday our family could experience something similar to what you have with your family...
Smile when you can! A journal is a great idea! I have one too..
It's so great that you have family there with you. And with a new baby coming, things will get brighter.
A journal is a great idea. It helps unload a lot of feelings. I have always kept on since I was young.
I hope you are doing better. I don't think it gets any easier, but it does get better. Just write letters.
And girl, good luck at the rodeo. Those bullriders.....they all make me nervous!!
There's something about new babies that always puts life back into perspective. They're so sweet, so innocent, you just want to protect them and cuddle them. Sounds like the arrival of this one is going to be darn good timing for her aunt. I sure hope so. Hang in there.
You are in my thoughts and prayers darlin' I wish we could sit and talk and cry & laugh together over a nice cuppa something warm.
Can't wait to see JoJO!!
Hugs
Bonnie

Good Morning Laura,
Just wanted to stop by and say Hi and that I am thinking about you. Sending mental hugs and good vibes. In some ways I think some of all this might be the time of year. I have had so many people mention being in a funk. Wonder if all this could be related to Cabin Fever? I am reading my seed and plant catalogs and thinking Spring. A time of renewal and new growth, all the babies being born. You will make it Laura, just remember all the love you are surrounded with. Barbara
I love the new do! I think about you often and keep JB in my heart and prayers!
Oh how fun...a new baby to spoil. I wish one of my close relatives would have one!! She is so lucky to have you for an Auntie!
I am still considering the haircut thing..you never know... One day I may just get brave. I am always on the lookout for a picture of the perfect haircut.
I am praying for you and your family daily..you hang in there.
I think a journal is such a good idea. I should be better about writing in mine..usually I get around to it on Sundays now, but there have been times when I really really used it.It helps to put things in words and on paper!
take care!!
Hi Friend, just stopping by to leave a littl love and a hi.
