Cory & Misty Update

Cory and I are doing well. I am recovering relatively well from the birth. I starting hemorrhaging yesterday though. The after hours nurse recommended the ER, but we were about to bless Samantha, so we called a L&D nurse in our ward and she said I should be fine to wait until Monday to see my doctor as long as I stay completely off my feet until then. She said although it could be serious, it is more likely that I have just been over doing it. We feel very lucky that this happened while my parents were here as they have been able to help out a lot.

Although I am very overwhelmed at the idea of taking care of all three kids by myself (Cory will be gone from 6:00 am - 9:00 pm M-F starting in Sept), I am still loving being a mom. It has been fun to have just one newborn...a completely different experience than twins. She is a wonderful, sweet little girl, and I can just enjoy her while I feed her and am enjoying this stage much more than I was able to the first time. I also look forward every day to seeing Micah and Noah as they are learning so much these days. I just love this age. Although it can be exhausting, I don't want it to end. They make me laugh and smile every day, and I am so grateful to be their mom.

Cory is still doing well in school and is taking a full load this summer. He is also working around 25 hrs a week, so he has a full plate as well. As always though, he puts me and the kids first and is always ready and willing to help with anything I need. He is a wonderful husband and father. The boys absolutely adore him. There is just something different about playtime with your Dad, and they love it. They love rough housing with him, tickling him, making noise and just being boys. Cory has been cute with Samantha too....he says it is actually fun to see all this pink in the house. I'm excited to see their relationship develop.
