Guest Blogger: Hailey

Hailey has been watching me blog pretty much since she got here (lots of posts get written and trashed...LOTS.), and today she asked me if she could give blogging a try. So, here goes: Hailey blogs! (She's seven. all typing courtesy of Hailey, all spelling courtesy of me)

my name is hailey araelle b and i am 7. my birthday is may 8 and on my next 1 i will be 8. i am going to grade 2 and i live in boston massachusetts with my sister named madeline and my parents michelle and jeff. before when i was 6 nd before that i lived in long island with my other dad cory and my sister madeline and my grandma bev . i was really happy in long island but then grandma bev went to heaven. before when madeline was only a baby years old michelle lived in our house before jeff was her husband and she took care of us. my dad cory couldn't take care of me and maddie anymore so he phoned jeff and michelle and asked them if they can take care of me and maddie so then we got adopted by michelle and jeff. when we got adopted at first baby lucy lived in our house but baby lucy went to heaven with grandma bev. this story has a happy ending though. just like after grandma bev went to heaven we got michelle and jeff after lucy went to heaven we are getting a NEW baby and it is going to be born in the month before my birthday which is april around 11. michelle likes that because then she will have the new babby born in april and me born in may ad baby lucy born in june and madeline was born in july which is how the months go just so. by the way i call michelle and jeff MOM and DAD in real but on here im going to call them michelle and jeff. whe nwe came here we ate at a fancy restaurant with all three of our parents, like my dad cory and jeff and michelle were all there and we said goodbye to cory and he said goodbye to us. sometimes i miss him but i love boston and my new friends even though we might move to long island again maybe. i hope we stay in boston for a little while i have lots of friends here and i'm going to go to grade 2. most of my friends are already in school but me and maddie go to advent school so we dont even start until september! i am really BORED at home but we go to the library adn swimming and sometimes michelle teaches us to dance. that used to be her job. tihs is a very long blog but this is the first time i ever got to use michelle's computer. me and maddie has a computer downstairs thats just for us, it's a mac too.

when we came to boston michelle's brother was here and his name is john. john is really funny, and he told us a story about when michelle was a little girl. john is the oldest kid like me and michelle is the b-a-b-y like maddie so she was kind of a cry baby BUT DONT TELL HER and one time john tricked her into thinking that she was adopted and that her mom didn't love her so she had to give her to john's mom so if she was bad she woudl get given back!! when john told me that story honest i was afraid that michelle might give ME back but she said that because she had that experience she would keep us forever. i'mglad.

i want to make a new playlist for this blog, last time i got to help but its old now. byeeeee for now

Again?

I don't know how to say this, but I wanted to tell the Blogosphere first, because this feels like my own little bubble where I know I will be inherently met with support.

I'm pregnant.

After Lucy was born, we said we weren't going to have anymore (biologically). Of course, Hailey and Maddie came into our lives and then we had three beautiful babies, and we felt like we were done having babies forever.

I can't say I'm *thrilled*, because I don't lie. But I can't say I'm devastated, either. I know that this is a sign from God or maybe even from Lucy that everything is going to be all right, and I'm going to take this gift and hope that it works out. I'm scared, anxious, sad, happy, and excited all at once. Here we go again...now to break the news to my husband!
