My thus far

Hello,
I am at stay-at-home mom as you may have guessed by my fantastically catchy title. I have two small boys, one three and the other one and a half. Kedrick my oldest is a typical three year old who likes to tear apart the furniture, terrorize the animals, steal toys from his little brother, and play outside, he is also quite fond of the word "No." My youngest, Gavin is a climber who likes to also terrorize the animals, tell on his brother when he steals a toy, and eat. I wouldn't trade them for anything. Even on my worst day when I want to scream and tear my hair out and wonder about God's sense of reproductive humor, do I still love them, and wouldn't give this gig up.
I always kinda knew the domestic gig was what I wanted. I have always been a homebody and a fierce family person. You know, that whole "Mess with my sister mess with me" type of person. I am from a divorced family since I was five. Both of my parents remarried, and while that probably had some profound effect on my subconscious I look at it now as just having a lot more family than most, and really that's a blessing. I have three sisters, and one brother, and I love them all.
I met my husband Jeremy when I was 18...Wow, that seems young when I think back on it. Anyway we were together for about seven years before we married though, and lived together for most of it, much to my mothers distress. I feel like that only helped us however because after living with someone that long, there is not really many surprises, and you can pretty much handle marriage. Jeremy wasn't really attached to the idea of kids which I knew would be a hurdle when we decided to go there but for the time we where happy to just get married. Jeremy took a job in Ely NV about a month before we were married so I spent the last month of singledom packing and getting the rest of the wedding details straitened out. The day after our wedding we spent packing and the second day after our wedding we spent moving to our new house in Ely NV. I loved that house, not the town as much but the house I loved. It was old and needed tons of work but I still loved it. We met some awesome new people in Ely who quickly became like extended family to me. Our roommate Jared who lived in our basement has become like a brother and has moved with us since. I really cannot imagine our life without him and I will cry the day he finds someone and moves out. About two months after moving to Ely I found out I was Pregnant, and yes if anybody want's to speculate, the magic happened on our wedding night, leaving people to wonder if we had truly saved ourselves for that special occasion. I can tell you, No. It was the giant glasses that held almost a full bottle of Champagne that we walked around with all night that probably did the trick. I don't think I even remembered my own name that evening. Anyhoo, there were definitely mixed emotions when we found out. Excited, worried, happy, scared. I think I felt them all. Regardless this little presence had made itself known and no matter what we felt we were gonna be parents come the end of April. Jeremy and I had a few struggles during my first pregnancy, mostly due to my hormones probably, but there was some resentment on my end. I couldn't go out and drink with anybody so I stayed home most of the time where as Jeremy was still wanting to go and socialize, especially with all these people that had become good friends. It's definitely true what they say about women becoming mothers when they find out they are pregnant but men don't become fathers until they hold their child in there arms for the first time. Kedrick was born on April 25, 2007 after three days in the hospital. I went in for a regular check up on Monday the 23rd and my blood pressure was out of control so my doctor admitted me and started to induce Monday afternoon. By Tuesday evening I was rolled into the labor room (there was only one labor room in the giant metropolis of Ely Nv) and at midnight was in danger of an emergency C-section because my blood pressure was not going down. I received my epidural about that time and within about 20 minutes my blood pressure was back to normal and they let me continue to labor. About 4 or 5 Wednesday morning my water broke and by about 9 in the morning I was pushing. It wasn't until about 1 oclock Wednesday afternoon that Kedrick finally came out, much to the delight of my completely worn out and exhausted body. I believe he was about 8lbs and 20 inches long. I cried, Jeremy cried, my mom cried, Jeremy's mom cried. It was a beautiful thing giving life and the last three days of labor and months of not sleeping well all went away when I stared into his scrunched up red little face. I knew Jeremy was hooked when Kedrick would wrap his little hand around his finger and not let go. Through the trials and tribulations of those first few months we all settled into a new routine. Kedrick was a great baby. Slept good, ate good. I never had any problems with him. I had his small crib in our room until he was about eight months old. I was a bit of a nervous nelly with the first one. We moved to Cheyenne WY when Kedrick was about 6 months old. Jeremy took a job out there with an independent Railroad contractor. I guess I should have mentioned earlier that my husband is a Steam Locomotive Mechanic/Restoration Specialist. We moved to Cheyenne right before winter set in. We only lived in Cheyenne for about six months. the beginning of April Jeremy got sent on a job back to the reno area where all our family is and where we met. I flew out with Kedrick and Jeremy drove. We were in Reno for about three or four days when his boss called him into the job they were supposed to be working on and fired him. Those were a bad few days after that. Away from home, with an almost one year old and now no work. Jeremy and I decided to go back to Cheyenne pack the house yet again and move back to the Reno area to be closer to family. In between all this mess I found out I was pregnant again on Kedrick's 1st birthday. Yay!! Me moved into my Mom and Stepdad's place in Fernley. It was kinda nice having family around and help with my second pregnancy. We spent a year at my Mom's. With the second pregnancy and the move we were struggling financially and just couldn't find anyplace worth it. Gavin was born on December 10, 2008, after a ridiculously easy labor compared to the first. Gavin is my little peanut and immediately captured us just as his brother had. Me moved out of my Mom's house and into Jeremy's folks place which they were trying to sell, because Jeremy's Dad was working in Arizona. We have been here for about a year. Jeremy has taken a job in Southern California and we will be relocating again within the next couple of months. I guess that about catches you up ;-) I am lucky to have great family around to support me and my husband who takes care of us. I love you all so much! I love that my husband and my three year old are BFF's and do everything together. It makes my job easier some days. I know that the next couple months are going to be a challenge. Jeremy and Jared are in California working and trying to find us a place to live and in the mean time the kids and I are still here in the Reno area living. Hopefully we can figure out the move soon. I don't like being apart and it's definitely not been easy on the kids.
