My angel in heaven

I have a post dedicated to my fourth apple of my eye and pride and joy even though he/she is in heaven. When I found out I was pregnant, I was excited since I have wanted another one for a long time and it took six and a half years after my youngest to happen. I would dream of the little person he/she would become and if he/she would be anything like the siblings. When I heard the first heartbeat on ultrasound I was so excited because I knew the baby was alive inside me and everything would be okay. Unfortunately when I went for my 11 week appointment, I heard the five most horrifying words that any mother should never have to hear. We learned that the baby had passed and stopped growing inside me. I was devastated and cried for several days on end. I even cried the day that I had the D and C done because I knew what it meant. Even though my angel isn't growing inside me, he/she will always be remembered and counted as one of my children. I loved this baby the first day I found out about him/her. I just wish I knew if it was a boy or girl. Rest in Peace my angel. Mommy loves and misses you baby.

Alexander James Masten

Alexander Masten was born on June 3, 2005 at 9:15 p.m. He weighed 6 lbs 5 ounces. He is the third apple of my eye and my pride and joy. He was the only child that was a surprise at birth because he was stubborn and wouldn't let us see during the ultrasounds. He was a pretty happy and wonderful baby once we got past the acid reflux issue. He wears glasses even though he has had three eye surgeries. He was the only one of my children that cried his first year of preschool right along with me. He is mamas boy all around and hasn't outgrown it. He will be seven on Sunday and in first grade next year. He has also become a wonderful boy who loves to spend time with his siblings and daddy and I. He loves to be around his friends and cousin. He was my shortest labor even though it felt like hours to me, everyone said it was less than an hour. He has overcome obstacles and become a wonderful little boy. I am very proud of the little man he has become and will grow up to be. He is also the third apple of my eye and my pride and joy.

Jasmine Marie Geffs

Jasmine Geffs was born on November 26, 2003 at 4:01 p.m. She weighed 7 lbs 13.5 ounces and is the second apple of my eye and pride and joy. When I was pregnant with her, I was excited when we found out she was a girl. When she was born, I couldn't get over how much she looked like me when I was a baby. She was beautiful and wonderful.She was a happy, wonderful baby unless her brother was picking on her. She is a great big sister to both her brothers and a great daughter. When she went to preschool, I cried but she didn't. She was my only child that ended up with ADHD and I wish she never would have gotten it. She does great on her medicine and I'm so proud of the little girl she has become. She is doing great in school and everyone seems to love her. She is now eight going on nine and will be in the third grade in august. She was in girls scouts and loved it but she is happy doing anything with her brothers. She is also the second apple of my eye and my pride and joy.

Caleb Daniel Geffs

My first baby is Caleb Geffs. He was born on December 31, 2002 at 9:15 p.m. He weighed 7 lbs 13.5 ounces. When he was a baby, he was a happy and fun baby. He was the first apple of my eye and my pride and joy. As he grew, he has become a wonderful son and brother to his siblings. I am proud of the person he has become in his childhood and school. When he went to preschool, I cried even though he didn't but mommy did. He will be in the fourth grade when school starts in august. His third grade year, he had all a's, b's, and one c so I am very proud of him. He is now a lovable nine going on ten year old boy. I always tell him he was my new years eve present and I will never forget the day he was born. His nickname from me is turtle because he would pop his head in and out when I was pushing. He took the longest to labor and push out but he has made up for it. He is in boy scouts and loves it. He is the first apple of my eye and my pride and joy.
