A stay at home mom.. for now..

Well here I am in the middle of my maternity leave. Its been wonderful. I love being here for her. She is my sunshine! We usually don't get to sleep for very long because she wakes up to eat so often. Now though she sleeps 4-5 hours at the first part of the night then she sleeps 2-3 hrs at a time. She loves to be bounced and rocked. We have spent a lot of time at the hospital to stay with Darlene. She got out of the hospital Friday night and She has hopis taking care of her. The Dr said that she isn't well enough to do kemo so they told her there isn't anything they can do for her and she has 2-4 months to live. We went Saturday and Sunday and spent the days with her. Rose Hob's sister was here from Illinois. Along with his brother Wyatt and there family's. Also Hob's daughter DeDe. Dar was able to go out side and enjoy the warm pretty weather. I got to play with amber and she helped me feed patience. She is really good with her. Then yesterday Lizzy was there and got to hold patience with the help of Scott. It has been nice to see Greg's family so much. I just wish that it wasn't under these sucumstances. Lisa was here again last week and left Friday. She's supposed to come back June 8 with the kids. Well I better got eat while the baby is sleeping. Gotta run. jen

losing out on someone i love

we found out saturday that my mother in law Darlene doesn't have alot of time left. She may not make it this week. She has liver cancer and it doesn't look good. She had surgery yesterday and it went ok but it only was to releive some of the pain she was in. Greg and the entire family are sticking together in this time espually since they have a 14 yr old brother that needs everyone. Its so sad. I feel as if i'm losing a mom too. She won't get to see patience on her first birthday or see the rest of the grandchildren get bigger either. she's such a wonderful mom and grandmother. why does this have to be happening? why? i don't understand it.

My daughter is here

she is so beautiful, sweet, and i love her so much. I had her on April 27,2005 at 12:32 pm. She weighted 8lbs and 10 oz. and was 20 inches long. A Big Girl! Her name is Patience Romaine Alter. The past few days at home with her have been amazing. Mom, Dad, Holly, Andy have helped us alot by watching her so we could sleep. And Darline, Hob, and Zach brought us some baby formula and came by for a while the first day we where home. At the hospital she had lots of visitors. Granny, Sonia, Susan, Brittany, Becky, Debbie, Lizzy, Alyx, Stacy, & her three girls, Darline, Hob, Mom, dad, and thats all i can remember for now. I have had a rough few days healing. i've been swollen and sore, and its been hard to get around. But Greg has been so great with her. She loves her daddy so much. She looks for him when he enters the room. Right now she is in the bed with greg on 2 pillows and they are both sound asleep. its sooo sweet. ok well i'm gonna lay down back here since i have a minute. love jen
