Taking it one day at a time...

LIFE............

Is life supposed to be this hard at such a young age???

I know things could be a lot worse, but this is a tough time for me.

I am stuck in the hospital for who knows how long. (maybe through the weekend, maybe until I deliver.)

I know this is where I need to be though, I know that when I finally get to hold this precious baby boy it will all be worth it.

"He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge;" -Psalm 92:4

I am praying for a turn around, I want to be able to go home and enjoy the rest of this pregnancy, enjoy the time I have with Leo as my only child. I know things are not in my control, I have learned that by now, but I am hopeful that this will all be over soon.

I have only been here three days but I miss my little boy sooooo much. He was so sweet when he came to visit me today. He is just so grown up all of a sudden. Last Friday was his big 2 year old birthday I will post pictures soon.

What I am looking forward to...

Going home.
Meeting baby Killian (but not too soon)
Date night OUT with my Hubby.
Reading the new books my dad just brought me.
Taking Leo to the park.
Going back to work and seeing my kids and friends.
Being able to GET OUT OF BED!!!!!!!
Going back to school.
Growing closer to God in this alone time I have with Him.
Getting to go back to church.

My friend Julia just stopped by the hospital and brought me a little gift. :) It made m
y heart happy!!!! And now my hubby is here and we are going to watch American Idol.

What's on my mind?!?!

Killian Patrick Cronin

This is Baby number two. This picture was taken monday. He was moving around so much, doing flips and blowing kisses. I already love him sooooo much. He is already giving me a run for my money.

I was diagnosed at 18 weeks into this pregnancy with placenta previa. When you have this it can cause bleeding and pre term labor. We were hoping that this condition would correct itself but that has not been the case yet. I had a great deal of bleeding sunday night and had to spend a few days in the hospital. I am home now but on bed rest. The good news is little Killian is growing and healthy.


Soooooo needless to say I have some time on my hands now.




Leo Parker Cronin

This is my Leo! He is such a joy. I absolutely love being his mommy!!!!!! He will be 2 in 2 weeks. I can't even believe how fast he is growing up.

This is my sweet Mom who is missed so much, especially during this time in my life.

I just received a card today from my moms co-workers that had a check in it for a college fund for Leo and any future grandchildren. In it they spoke of how much my mom loved Leo and loved being a grandma! I was so touched. My mom was such a special lady and impacted so many lives. She is truly missed.


God keeps sending me little reminders that she is not gone forever, that we will be together again one day.I know she is happy in the arms of the Lord.


My Love.

This is my hubby Ricky. He has been so good to be through all of this and I don't know what I would do without him. I am definitely giving him a work out being on bed rest. He should probably get a little bell for me to ring. He takes such good care of me.

Life is not easy right now, but I AM BLESSED! I have such supportive people in my life. My dad and brother, husband and son, Aunts and Uncles, in-laws, friends, co-workers. I am so thankful for all of them. Most of all I am thankful for my relationship with God,how would I get through this without my faith?
