BC (before children), I was a nurse for 12 years. I quit working just before giving birth to our second child. I was working only very part-time and only when the daddo could keep the oldest child. My nursing career was wonderful and hard at the same time. I worked in a children's hospital in a step-down intermediate care unit with children from birth to 18 years of age. I also worked as a pediatric case manager in a home health care agency, then once I had our oldest son, I worked in an NICU-step down unit with premature babies.
Our lives have been shaped by many pivotal events.... here are a few.
Marriage
Miscarriages
Infertility
Premature births and neonatal illness in two of our sons
The near-drowning accident of our nephew, his illness afterwards, and his eventual death
Living in an RV, while building our own house
It would take me a year to write all the details, but that is the general gist of our lives.
I'm a Christian passionate about the mission of motherhood. I am on this roller coaster, holding my hands up high, and screaming when I go over the big hills.
