Ants in the mail.... EEEEK!

I never ever in a million billion trillion years ever thought that I would purposely have a bug delivered to my house! If anyone knows me they know that I do not like bugs.....I am not a fan of any creepy crawly bug,spider, flying bugs!YUCK! I do not like them sam I am I do not like them in my house in my yard I DO NOT LIKE THEM AT ALL!... My dirty busy buggy boy must have really pulled my heart strings because he got a ant farm and we had to order ants for it HAHA! That super sweet almost 6 year old boy of mine just has to have the ants to go in it! Who would have thought there is a entire company dedicated to supplying ants for ant farms haha! So Ants we bought, that is love right there!! Real mama love! Did I mention that I do not do bugs?!?! Well today is the day that the Ants should be here and wouldn't you know he is at school which means I will have to brave the mail box alone and get his ants HAHA! Maybe I should just leave the ants in the mail box and let him get them when he gets home that would be ok right?!?! I am terrified that I will get the ants and bring them in the house and they would some how get out and be all over my house EEEEK! Like one of them crazy Max and Ruby episodes
( don't judge I have seen it more than once it and it gives me the creeps Ants crawling around all over NO THANK YOU!) My kids sure are lucky that I love them! I might not have a degree or have some crazy important job but I have the best title ever MOM MAMA MOMMY! Being a mom saved my life and I am soo thankful for all of our sweet amazing beautiful babies even if they make me order ants online! 

To my sweet baby!

To my sweet baby girl, 7 years ago you left this world before you even had a chance to experience it! Since then life has been so crazy and busy and crazy again! I don't think I ever took time to grief the loss of you..When you left I was full of heartache and anger! I felt like my life was falling apart and I could not do anything to fix it or help the pain.. My life quickly became focused around the medical aspect that came with loosing you and I spent several days a week at the hospital for blood work and tests...Daddy was sent home from his 3rd deployment for a few weeks to help. Then he was sent back so I had to take care of your older sisters and help them understand why daddy had to leave again and also why you were not coming home from the hospital....and if I am being honest it was just easier to try and forget and ignore it all...... I finally got dropped down to going to the hospital once a week and then finally once a month once your daddy was back from his deployment! Once Daddy got back life got busy quick trying to spend as much time as we could as a family and trying to go visit everyone that wanted to see daddy! A few months after daddy got home I went in for my monthly blood test and the Dr called me and told me to come in right away that I was going to need to have some procedures done. I came in and he said that he wanted to do a ultra sound to see if he could see how big the mass was because my test came back elevated...I started to panic.....I did not want to deal with this....so off to the ultra sound I went...I was sitting there on the verge of a breakdown because I felt like life was ending again.. And the last time I had been in this ultrasound room was when I found out I was loosing you! To our surprise there was no mass at all but what they did find was a baby! The dr told me the risk and advised against me continuing with the pregnancy. I choose to not listen to him! Thank goodness because now you have a little brother... After finding out we were prego we got stationed in VA...Daddy spent a lot of time going to CA and the bigger girls were keeping me busy...Soon Hunter was here and daddy was gone a lot and life started getting hard...Daddy was trying to process life and it was really hard! At this point I still had not accepted loosing you I had never talked about it and still cried often about it!  After having Hunter I got really bad PPD and shut myself off to everyone! Soon it was time for another move and Daddy getting out of the USMC and there went life getting crazy again...Once daddy got out his disabilities got the best of him and he really started struggling! We ended up moving back home to NC! fast forward to today and we have finally gotten comfortable and started accepting things that we have blocked out .. And that brings me to this letter! It is time that I accept what happened and be at peace! My sweet baby girl I want you to know that you will always be in my heart! I want you to know that I can not wait to hold you in my arms in Heaven! I want you to know that your sisters and brother love you and talk about you often! I often wonder what life would be like with you and the baby we lost earlier! I find comfort knowing that you are in Heaven  together with your brother/sister..I often wonder if I had not miscarried you both would I have had twin girls or one boy and one girl?!?! I have been going back and forth for some time now about naming you....I feel like it has been so long is it to late to name you?!?!  But after many prayers I feel like I need to do that! Since I lost the first baby so early and didn't know if it was a boy or a girl we will name baby 1... B... and you my sweet girl shall have the name Jessa it means God beholds! I am so sorry it has taken me 7 years to name you and to be at peace! I want you to know I am not angry anymore! I am so thankful for the short time I had with you! You made me a better mom!  I love being able to talk freely and openly about you now and not try to block it out!  Please know that I have never stopped loving you! I love you my sweet baby girl! I will be seeing you in Heaven one day!  Love always your Mama!

WOW I has been FOREVER since i have wrote anything!  I have been super crazy busy!  but I have to say life is good.......we have been going through a lot of up's and downs but we are still here!!!  the past  few weeks have been a bit crazy ...but one thing that was pretty cool was I got a VOXBOX WOOT WOOT! I <3 <3 <3 VOXBOX! if you don't know what it is they have you take a survey to see if you would match well with the items they are sending out.....if you do then you might be picked to get the box in the mail! so in my box I got a bag of Hershey kisses YUMM totally helped with my emotional weekend! plus they work well for rewards for the kids LOL~  I got some awesome spray lotion for hubby( my 6 year old son loves it to)and it smells AMAZING!  I got yummy flavored tea! It is like drinking dessert!  ( I wish they made it in a Kcup then it would be OUT OF THIS WORLD~) And I would surely drink a million cups a day!  I got a clay mask......which I have not used yet but plan on doing my face and my daughters tonight :) I also got some hair product from John Frieda AMAZING! oh and some fake eye lashes which kinda scare me not gonna lie!   WOOT WOOT great BOX! I love when I get one of these boxes because it gives me a chance to try stuff that I would not normally buy and almost always after getting a box I end up a buyer of at least one of the products!  If anyone would like a invite let me know and I will send you a invite! Ok its time for this Mama to get back to laundry and kids....and maybe sneak in a few Hershey kisses! LOL!! much love! 
Bekah!
