happy

I've made it to 25 weeks in no time at all.


 It seems like yesterday that Tim and I celebrated the news of this miracle happening inside me.

Great News...
Babies are around 2 lbs each and over 14 inches long.

I've had to slow down a lot. Work has changed dramatically for me. I still work my Tuesdays and Fridays but only at 10-2pm doing colors. As of June 1st,  I'm starting maternity leave.  The date on coming back not yet established.  I feel the best in the mornings and as the day goes on the pain increases. There is such a big difference from caring one baby than two.

I'm still trying daily to get my 120grams of protein. That itself takes much attention.

But with all that said,

I'm so close to meeting these two boys that we get the privilege of raising.  I can't wait to birth them, hold them, smell their newborn smell and nurse them. Hear their crys and coos. Support their little heads in the palm of my hand as I study them and Praise God for this very special gift.  I look forward to the smell of a freshly bathed newborn and watching Ruby bloom into this big sister role that I believe she will wear proudly.

As our family dynamics are changing a very small part of me grieves the fact that I can't give all the attention to Ruby anymore.  BUT that is a VERY small part of me.  I know these two boys will be the puzzle piece that we didn't know was missing.

The next three months Miss Ruby and I are going to spend a lot of time together. I'm always searching for new ways to tell her I love her. The challenge is thrilling.

 She is growing into such a lovely little girl. I love that today as we speak, we're creating her childhood memories,  that she will remember forever. What a gift to be able to be apart of someones life, to be their momma, advocate, protector and provider.

We are pleased to announce...

We are so very blessed and thrilled to say that we are expecting two healthy baby boys!!!

My Girl

She's growing up and so lovely to be around!  Her smile is intoxicating!  Joy flows out of her and "love" is her middle name.

She is a sponge right now.  I love teaching her things like how to close a Ziploc bag.  Her face lights up with joy when she's accomplished it.  I'm singing praises back at her and dancing a jig right in the middle of the bike path, not caring what the world thinks of me...encouraging the small things.

She is two years old and her independence is growing.  I'm learning that she responds well when I give her choices rather then just telling her what to do.  Usually at this point the choices I give cater to what I want her to do...  :)     ...but she does it willingly.  Once I give her a choice and she makes up her mind, she responds with an "oh,  YES".

It's so cute it makes you want to freeze time, bottle her up and keep her right at that age!

She talks about the babies in my tummy a lot.  One night I heard her say in her sleep, "Babies, get out"!  Oh, miss Ruby, it will be a while.

She get so excited and starts jumping up and down at the thought of her being able to "play toys" with them or push them in a swing at the park.

I love to watch and study her.  I would love to get inside her mind and see how it's working.  I hear myself thinking in my own mind, "Ruby when I grow up, I want to be just like you."

Being childlike!
I need more of that and less adultlike.

This girl is in love with Veggie Tales.  She sings and reinacts what is going on during the videos.  Many times she's getting me on the dance floor with her.  I let out this big sigh and reluctantly join her.  Soon we are burning the carpet up and I'm thankful for my dance partner.

We take walks to the park almost daily.

 "A park a day keeps the doctor away."  Right?!   It seems to be working!

So our journey continues.

Sure glad I get to do this!!

Spilling the Beans!

 The last 3 months have been so exciting!  It has also been the absolute hardest not to share with others what has been going on with us.

Call our news what you want.

Spilling the beans?

Or maybe...

Showing all of our cards?!

But I'll tell you what, it's going to be GOOD!

You guessed it!!

We are going to be having baby Woosley #2!!

I'm 12 weeks pregnant and it's been so hard for us to keep this a secret.  I'm doing great and growing fast!

You want to know the major shocker to this story?!

It happened naturally!

Did you hear that?




NATURALLY!!

If you don't know our story of the many years of heartache and pain trying to get pregnant,

I also did a blog on the secret of how we got pregnant naturally.

Click HERE if you would like that story.

I can't put into words how happy and thrilled we are(which is a bummer, since this a blog). We give our praises to God for this blessing.




Oh, that feels so much better letting you know about this!

So...


 who's ready to talk baby with me?

Get the heck outta dodge!

 We needed a break!

 A break from our minds working when we're not.  There's always a email to reply to, a phone call to return, a business that needs cleaned, a problem that needs addressed, or a new plan to talk through. That's the story of two people in a marriage that each runs their own business.

 But at the same time, we can have a flexible schedule.  We call the shots and have opportunities to be together as a family a lot.  We like to call it time wealth :)

 So today we headed to Omaha. When the tires hit the interstate there is almost a sigh of relief.  Our minds clear and we are truly "off" work.

This sweet little girl needed some time to just be silly!

 Just a little course correction.

 These two walked around this tree planter.  They both had the biggest smile on there faces.  She held his hand so proudly almost like saying, "Yep, this is MY daddy!"  He held her so delicately as if she was royalty(she is to him!).

 Oh, found a ramp!

 Time...  to...

 RUN!

And she needed to add a little cheese with that smile.  Because that's just what she does!

"Jump High!" was what she kept saying.  We stopped and let her jump.  After she got done jumping, she looked up at the sky and said "high."  In her mind she was jumping as high as the sky.  You betcha, girl, You did jump high! 

 I took this picture for Tim.  He has a love for walking through a music store and they're closing down faster then you can say MP3.  We use to have several Homers in Lincoln.  Now sadly, Omaha has only one left. I'm guessing it won't last long.

Omaha is our home away from home.  Although we would never want to live there again, it's where we get our mental medicine. 

Unbelievable. Or is it?

We have been happily married for over 11 years and have been trying to conceive for six of those years.  Month after month of trying delivered nothing but sadness and heartache.   After years of trying on our own, we searched for the help of others who might aid us in having a baby.

One day I called up a chiropractor that I've been hearing people talk about during several conversations with different people.  Tim and I then went to a meeting that explained more about them. They mentioned that if I was going to go through the program, they highly recommended that my family go through it also.  It would be a change of lifestyle that would be difficult if your family wasn't on board.  I soon found myself and my family in the waiting room filling out paperwork. 

They did an exam to see if they could help us and to find out what our current health looked like. I'm SO glad we did this. Tim was worse off than me, but we all needed some help.

Ruby had a scan done to see if there was pressure in her neck.  I thought that there was no way.  She's 2 years old... what kind of trauma could she have?  Well, unto my surprise, she had trauma.  This was hard for me to hear and broke my heart. I wanted to know why she had pain.  I learned that when you have a c-section, your baby is pulled out of the womb by their neck.  This isn't an easy task.  There is something called back suction, where the body naturally goes against the pull.  So, that's where her trauma originated.

I started reading the testimonials and as I read story after story I was amazed. This gave me great hope.

We got our scans and exercises and went to work.  We were fully committed to giving this our best.  We followed the instructions of the entire staff.  We threw out all of our rancid oils, nasty frying pans, changed our diets, and even said good-bye to our microwave! 

They say that they "turn the power back on" and God heals your body. Your spine is the control center for your nerves which control your organs.  If only a weight of a dime is to sit on a nerve then it could shut down a organ up to 50%. What I thought was interesting is you can't feel many nerves. So that's a reason a heart attack is sudden, more so in women.

Our bodies are healing naturally!   We are also noticing important changes!

• both of our allergies are gone
• Tim's plantar fasciitis is gone
• he no longer snores anymore
• Ruby's eczema has cleared up
• when she get sick (which is rarely) it doesn't last long!! 
• I'm pregnant after only 3 months of going there!!

This is the first time in our lives that we feel that we are on the right track concerning our health.

We have been to several doctors, chiropractors and other various health professionals, but none of them seemed to have the approach that this chiropractor's office have.  They are educators as well as chiropractors. My husband and I look forward to every visit knowing we will learn something new that will benefit us in the long term.   

 So we will continue to do this the rest of our lives.   We will be forever grateful for all the knowledge and practical advice that we have received. Keep you posted on how it goes and all the new changes!!!
