And then there was 5. So now we have 5 children. haha Lela, Belle, Raphael, Simona, and Denise. After number 4, Simona, I actually had life threatening post partum health issues. My step mother and father were extremely worried for me after having number 5, Denise, as I had Pre Eclampsia again. And last time with Simona, I ended up back in the hospital and with septic shock, heart failure and post partum Cardio Myopathy for 6 months. I truly tried to stay on the Brewers diet which is the amount of protein is supposed to help prevent Pre Eclampsia, but I was just sooo full all the time, I know I was not getting the amount I needed. So this time when I came home my parents made me stay with them for a month. They actually wanted me to stay for 2 months, because sepsis, heart failure, and seizures are all things that can happen for up to 6 months after having pre eclampsia. But, I was ready to come home after a month! haha
All that to say, since we stayed with them for a month, and I have a lot of younger siblings (many also came and stayed with my parents with their kids while we were there too!) helping care for my older children. I was able to read a lot more. So you will be seeing some book reviews coming back soon! And I have also had time to regroup and refocus and start writing some new articles for Golden Prarie Blog as well.
A few things to be looking forward to in the coming months on Golden Prairie-
