Starting Out

So I am starting out on a new blogging experience today. We shall see where all this takes us. I am as the title says a stay at home mom. I am a mom to 3. All of them are boys, but before we reach that let me back up a little and give a little history of me. My name is Sunshine, my nickname is Sunny. I met my husband at the age of 17. We started dating in January of 05 right before the spring semester of college started back up, and at that time I was 19. He left for bootcamp with the Navy on February 14 of that year. We had a long distance relationship. We were very quickly unofficially engaged. It was not lasting at that point and his family had there way and we broke up. For that reason alone my dad did not like him. We ended up back together and after another two breakups. That Christmas he showed me my engagement band. After being dropped off at college and working to pay the rest of my bill I left before the semester started and he flew me up to South Carolina on January 14th of 2006. We were officially married at a courthouse on the 18th. 2 years and 2 days after my brother got married. I became pregnant immediatly and 9 months and 2 days after we married we had Nathan Michael on October 20. It was only a few short months before I was pregnant again. We were hoping for a girl but soon found out that Caleb Matthew would be joining our family that Christmas season. Nathan was always an independant player so he didn't mind mommy having to spend time with a new addition, as long as I kept baby away from him. Caleb joined us on December 3, 2007. It was about 4 months later when we became preganant again, we lost that pregnancy at 6 weeks and 3 days. It was only 2 months later when we became pregnant again. I lost this one in August after our move to Wisconsin, I did lifting and moving of things I would better have left alone. It was 2 more months before we were expecting again. I would have found out on Thanksgiving day but for some reason the test read negative as did the one I had taken earlier. Two more negative tests before the first positive. I took 4 more after the first positive before I half-way believed it. I didn't completely believe it until I had an ultrasound at the doctor's office. Jeremy was once again unable to be there when we found out what we were having. I played a trick on him and made him think it was a girl by the pink envelope I delivered the results in. It turned out that we were expecting another boy. We didn't decide on his name until almost the end of April. July 31st Josiah Macaiah was introduced to the world at 9 pounds and 5.6 ounces. And the final boy in the family is Jeremy Michael. He is 24 as am I, we are 6 weeks apart in age.
Thee best view in the world for me is seriously peeking in through my front porch window when the boys have no clue I am watching. I catch daddy playing with his boys. The older two rubbing the babys' head or holding the very rare bottle he gets when I am gone and can't take him with me. Then there are the rare glimpses of the boys dancing with each other or the consoling hug after one comes out of time-out and the kiss that accompanies it with the words "it's otay bubby" following it. Just those random momments of sweeetness and love makes it all worth it and it is the best view in the world.
We are a family that is in stages trying to learn to live healthier and simpler. We are in the process of switching to cloth diapers. We make our own laundry detergent now, we just bought a bread maker to help me make bread a lot easier. I am open to ideas and suggestions to help us live healthier and even somewhat greener. For now that is all, as I must go tend to the precious babies.
