Good things come in small packages...

Post by deltagal » Wed Mar 17, 2010 2:29 pm

Hi all,

I've been out of the loop a bit, but I wanted to share that our dd arrived on February 25, a bit early, but doing well. She was born 5 weeks and a day early with a c-section, because I had a severe case of polyhydramnios and the docs began to be concerned about her well being in the portable swimming pool my body was creating. She ended up spending an extra week in the hospital because of difficulty maintaining her body temp., but is on track now. The children are loving having a new little sister to love on. We started school back after a week, on the "slow and easy" plan. The routine helps bring order to the household. My current philosophy is do a little bit each day to stay on track and in the long run we will not have as much to do. We are celebrating having sunshine today and several more days of sunshine are in the forecast.

I hope you all are doing well in your homeschool journeys. I'll post more as time allows.
With Joy!

Congratulations!!! :D I'm so glad your dd has arrived and is now at home and doing well. I bet your other dc are loving on her so much! :) I really admire your attitude about moving forward a little at a time, and I do so agree that this gets you further to the goal in the long run. Thanks for sharing with us - and I'm so happy for you! (I've missed you here. :wink: ):D
