I have not updated the blog in a while because I have been busy taking care of four sweet children, one of which is a newborn. Charles Connor Dewald came 6 weeks early and surprised and scared us all. March 8 was a Thursday and that morning I had gone to the doctor for a normal checkup and the doctor told me everything looked great. Connor would probably be my biggest baby and reminded me of my scheduled c-section for April 10. I came home, ate lunch and then went to check the mail and as I walking to the mail box, I thought I felt my water break. I come inside only to realize that it was not my water but I was bleeding. I was scared to death. I called my doctor right away and she said go straight to Labor and Delivery at the hospital. I ended up having an emergency c-section and they realized that my placenta had begun to separate. Thankfully, Connor was Ok, he spent 5 days in NICU and then came home. He is growing great now and I have recovered well. I am so thankful that my little man was OK, what could have been a disastrous situation, turned out to have a happy ending and Connor is another sweet blessing that the Lord has allowed us to care for! He weighed 5 lbs and 12 oz at birth and ended up being a tiny 5 lbs and 5 oz before we left the hospital but he is now close to 7 lbs! Caring for a preemie baby is definitely different but I sure love being a mother and taking care of all these sweet babies. I love how Aubrey, Eli and Ava have adapted so well to another sibling and how they can love him too much sometimes! Here are some pictures of Connor and some cute Easter pics.
