Cameron's broken

Look what happened to my poor little guy! This morning he got out of a shower and I was getting him dressed for church and noticed his left arm had a huge bump between his wrist and elbow. He whimpered when I touched it and Brian said, "oh my gosh, it's broken!" So Brian took him to the children's hostpital emergency room...he'll do anything to get out of church! Seriously though, poor Cameron, the doc thought it had been broken for a while and just for some reason this morning it was very swollen and we noticed. On and off for months when I'd get him dressed he would act like it hurt and then when I'd ask more Q's he'd just act normal. I feel like such a bad mom! You can see in the X-ray the the bone next to the broken one is also kind of bowed weird. They also had to do some painful straightening of that one too...I have no idea how that happened. Of course the nurses asked if we have a trampoline...which we do- and the kids spend ALL day on the thing. According to the ER...tramps are what keep them in biz! So needless to say we are going to get rid of the evil bone breaking tramp and the kids are VERY upset about it.
Brave little Cameron was so good. He and his dad were at the Hostpital for seven hours. They did X-rays on every bone in his body to see if there was somewhere else that could've been broken without us knowing about it. He's so brave! He definitely gets an extra helping of dessert tonight!

All my girls look the same!!!!!!!

Lindsay as a baby! Alyssa as a baby!
Natalie is a baby!!!!!

Do all these little girls look the same or what(especially Lindsay and Natalie)???!!!! I'm going to definitely need to label all of their pictures so when they grow up they won't get mad when I have no idea which baby is who.

Say hello to NATALIE LYNN FORD!!!!!

BEFORE!!!!! AFTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So look who has arrived! Natalie came to join our family on Tuesday, April 8, 08.....4-8-80....isn't that a great birthday?! I went in that morning to the hostpital to get her turned.....she was breech. When the doctor checked- Natalie had turned head down on her own....good girl for not making me go through the 'getting a baby turned' process, I hear it's very painful. My doc decided just to induce me because if she turned breech again the chances for a C-section were much greater, I didn't want that! So we forced the little cutey out. I did get the epidural and it was FABULOUS!!! Natalie arrived at 8:47 that night (it was a long day!) she weighed in at
6 lbs. 15 oz. She was 20 inches long....10 fingers, 10 toes and perfectly perfect everywhere else! She is a great eater...and sleeper (all day she was anyway-we'll see how her first night at home goes!) So weird to now have a family of four children....bring on the chaos!!!!!!
