I'm the mom of a preemie who had an emergency c-section at 29 weeks and while my son survived, that first week was horrendous. It took me a year to be able to talk about it without crying.<br /><br />One resource to mention is Band Back Together (http://www.bandbacktogether.com/). They have stories on a number of topics as well as lists of resources. I've contributed a few and will be contributing one on HELLP Syndrome (the variant of preeclampsia that necessitated my son's early birth).jenhttp://grace-filled.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937303870758455964.post-25437029863067527222011-12-30T18:10:43.709-05:002011-12-30T18:10:43.709-05:00Good for you on the marathon training!!!!

I just had a Brady Bunch flashback. :)<br />Happy new year to you and your family!<br />Send out the cards...who cares if you are late? YOU JUST HAD A BABY.

We have two bedrooms on the main floor (one is used as office) and two upstairs. Now, my hubby and I are downstairs in a smaller bedroom and all three boys are in the HUGE bedroom upstairs. . . that way their toys and everything are up there too. Although I miss having a bigger bedroom, the house stays cleaner because the toys are not spread out all over the downstairs.<br /><br />Good luck with the half training! You can totally do it Colleen! I just would not set any sort of time goal for yourself.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11571439982499787798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937303870758455964.post-42284227341590444782011-12-30T09:29:04.565-05:002011-12-30T09:29:04.565-05:00Send out those cards anyway!

We have friends who never send their cards until after the new year and it is fun to wait for that one last card. :)<br /><br />And good luck with dividing up the bedrooms -- I am so bad at that. Since we only have the two boys, they are always together in one room. It's the girls who give me fits. I usually try to pair them up according to the way they sleep -- I have a pretty heavy sleeper in with a light sleeper. That way when the light sleeper wakes up, she doesn't rouse the heavy sleeper. And I'm hoping the heavy sleeper rubs off on the light sleeper, of course.<br /><br />Baby is still our roommate. :)Aimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16332125903937752882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937303870758455964.post-88078289848836456572011-12-30T09:28:37.354-05:002011-12-30T09:28:37.354-05:00Ahhh, room re-arranging.

Kam and Taylor both sleep in our room, and Sierra and Makenna sleep downstairs in the bonus bedroom right by ours. Jeremy and I are the only ones sleeping in the "appropriate" room, lol! My dear friend has four children. The oldest is a girl, and the three younger are boys. The two middle boys sleep together in a room, and the older girl, and youngest boy {3} sleep together. They've been doing that since the "baby" was tiny. It may seem like the choice would be to have the three "big boys" together, with Maggie and Mr. Xander as roommates, but I wonder what it might be like to put the baby and John-Paul together, and let the three middles room together for a bit? I'm sure whatever you choose will work out just fine!Sugarplum Creations Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15404300168941549805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937303870758455964.post-87677577135393423912011-12-30T08:56:04.171-05:002011-12-30T08:56:04.171-05:00Your cards are not late!
