Since this is my first post I figure I should start out by introducing myself.
My name is Chandra, I live in Beautiful Utah, I’m married to the love of my life, and I have 5 children. 4 Boys, ages 13 – 5 and a Girl who is 3.
If I had it my way I’d be pregnant with twins right now and adopting a few more but my husband is not quite as comfortable in our already completely chaotic household and had deemed that enough is enough.
Well, it’s also partly my fault, when my daughter was 5 months old and I was battling the after baby body blues I noticed a spider vein and ran to my hubby and told him to hurry and get a vasectomy. I get pregnant very, very easily. I had my girl, I had my boys and I was done.
So I thought. 😦 Now I wish I hadn’t reacted so quickly. What’s a little spider vein (which has all but disappeared now by the way) compared to the miracle of a baby?
But there’s also the small fact that all 5 of my children were C-Sections (not by choice) all but one were emergencies. With my Girl, I had known the last couple of weeks that something was wrong and when they finally took her we found out I was right. I had ruptured. My uterus was filled with blood that they had to suction out of my daughter’s lungs. The amazing this is that my Dr said that it has actually begun to repair itself, which if it had not, we both may not have made it. He said he’s never seen anything like it before.

So, while I wish I could have more children, I am unbelievably grateful for all 5 of my miracles.
Since my life is my children and my love of children, I thought that would be a good place to start my blog.
Until Next Time…
