Lucky Number 8

 So why did I name this blog Eight Year Span? Well, that because my kids are all 8 years apart! All 3 of them. I had Chris at 24, Matt at 33 and Sarah at 41. I like to call it "a child a decade." I have a feeling I am a part of a very few (if any) who have 3 of their children born eight years apart.  Was it planned....um no. It's just what happened. Maybe I only ovulate every 8 years? That's possible. My system is crazy to begin with so it wouldn't surprise me!

Eight is also a lucky number in this family as well. Not only because the kids are 8 years apart, but because of the circumstances around Matt's birth. He was born on the 28th of the month, he weighted 8 lbs and 8 oz and he was born at 3:28.  All those eights must mean its his lucky number too. We've been telling him for years that 8 is his lucky number and he believes it. Although he never chooses that number for football jersey. Go figure!

So that's my story about the number 8. Fun right! More to come about life in this family in future posts.  Thanks for reading!

I was also in the middle of finishing my Bachelor's Degree in English and was reading a ton of books that were required reading. Like four books at a time! It was pretty intense. But I loved it! So here I am in 2021 and am attempting in starting up again in blog world. I love to write (hence the English degree) and want to explore my other areas of interest and, dare I say, expertise. I hope to have a blog that touches on mostly parenting with some relationship and lifestyle posts sprinkled in. Reading is a big part of my life, so don't be surprised if I pop on with a book recommend or update on what I am currently reading. I don't want a blog like my previous one just about books because....well you know...it didn...
