We were having dinner tonight and all of a sudden Jackson started pulling on my arm and saying something that sounded like "hot." Scott and I thought he was asking me if I was hot in my sweater. But, as we listened more intently, we realized that he was saying "hug." He wanted a hug from me. Not because he wanted to get out of dinner or anything else. He just wanted a plain old simple hug from his mommy; the very first hug he's ever asked for. Of course I FLEW out of my chair to give my sweet boy a hug. He even gave me some love pats on my back and would not let go! I would've stayed in my awkward squat-position hugging me sweet precious baby boy all night if he'd let me! Tonight reminded me of the simplicity of God's blessings. I will (hopefully) never forget the first moment my son asked me for a hug:)
I can't stop singing, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty." Scott and I went to the "big" ultrasound today where we tested to see if our baby had Down's, one of the Trisomy disorders, or any neural tube defects. I must admit the palms were a little sweaty and the heart was racing a bit. As surreal as this pregnancy is, I don't want anything to be wrong with this precious life inside of me. Well, holy is right. The Lord is not just good; He is awesome! Our little baby instantly began moving and grooving for us showing off fingers and toes and a great heart beat! Even though I am on my third, watching the miracle of life on that screen NEVER gets old! It truly blows my mind every time I get to see our precious angels developing inside of me! The scan came out wonderfully. We got all positives on all the scans the doctor (who was absolutely INCREDIBLE) could do. Now we just wait for some blood work to confirm that everything is okay with our little boy. ...
