Hillary is 16 1/2. She was my preemie at 32 weeks and 4 lbs 14 oz. I was so young and I feel like we have grown up together. She has
become such a wonderful young lady. Its sad that its almost the end of my "mothering" her. She is involved in basketball and softball. She loves her sports. She has such drive and passion. She is a 4.0 student and first in her class. Did I mention that she is deaf in one ear? She has over come so much in her life! She also is involved in DECA and is really good at it. Her and I have such different personalities which really
works out well for us. She is laid back and a thinker. She is thinking about colleges and what she wants to do with her life. Right now she wants to teach and coach. She was leaning toward history but last night she said she thinks she would make a good math teacher...which will be great because by the time she finishes college Ethan will be entering high school. He can have his own personal tutor. She is the perfect balance of tomboy and princess.


Ethan is my baby! He is 8 and in 2nd grade. He was also a
preemie but while Hillary was so tiny ..Ethan was huge. You woudn't even know it now...so tall and skinny. I like to tell him the story that only God knew I needed a little boy. I thought I only wanted one and I could never love another baby. Was I ever wrong! While I love them in different ways I love him so much! He is just like me! Scary! We have the same personality. We clash because we have such tempers but I also get him. When he is mad he needs to BLOW and then he is okay. He is my sensitive one. He cries because I cry...he is going to be the best boyfriend if we train him RIGHT! He also makes me laugh like NO other. He just has that sense of humor that makes everyone brighten up. He is involved in boy scouts, basketball and coach pitch. He doesn't really LOVE sports like Hillary but he tries so hard. I think he does it to make everyone else happy around him. He really loves his video games. He would sit and
play for hours. He is very smart, too but doesn't want anyone to really know it. He would rather talk to his friends and socialize than get busy with his work. He is just a great kid! Right now he is the same age as Hillary was when I had him. That doesn't seem right! He is growing up way to fast and that scares me. I don't want to be alone and then be known as nothing.


I may not have the most exciting life but these kids make me very happy. I love to watch Hillary play basketball and I love to sit and talk to Ethan about anything. He use to be MAMA's boy but I see him now spending more and more time with Dan. Its okay. Every child needs their dad. I am sorry that Hillary doesn't have that... or he chose not to have that with her..he missed out on something wonderful! I am excited about my blog! I had a blog on myspace. I wish I could bring that over here! There was some really funny posts in there! I am happy to be HEMOM4ever!! Its the the one thing I can truly say that I am great at!!
