Who needs therapy...Jack's Room Part 1

Who needs a psychologist to tell all your sorrows too when you can drown them out in a painting session??? That's just what I did! Saturday was a beautifully warm day in Texas and I enjoyed the beauty and peace by opening the window and painting Jackson's room. Can I just say that this was SO refreshing and much needed! I have disliked his room decor for a while now and just haven't done anything with it...until now! I figured since I don't have a nursery to design, just yet, Jack can reap the benefits of his mommy's inner teacher creativity that has been brewing inside me since I quit and is dieing to get out! His nursery was safari animals back in California and I have always liked the safair theme. However, once he went to a big boy bed it was difficult to find cute animal bedding. So, I got him simple striped bedding that will last as he gets older and decided to spice up his walls. The room is by no means done yet. I still have to hang the chair rail, add some cool black and white close-up pics of some animals Bre took at Arbunkle Wilderness (a drive-thru zoo where animals come up to your car), and Bre is going to paint a jeep above his bed (I know, she rocks!!!). Here is what I have done so far...enjoy the pics and stay tuned for more!

I painted a snake above his closet and a tree in the corner. Scott always wanted me to paint a "safari" looking tree so I tried my best copying one off of the Lion King dvd case:)


The jeep is going to be painted above his bed. I am so excited!!!

The room looks awesome! I've been trying to find something cute to do in Sadie's room - are you looking for a job? Seriously, you did great! I bet Jackson loves it!

Holy Holy

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. ...

Our Miracle

"He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted." Job 9:10 "You are the God who performs miracles; You will display Your power among the peoples." Psalm 77:14 Meet our miracle...and our secret. Yes, it is true. I am pregnant; about twelve weeks and a few days to be exact. We wanted to make sure this baby was healthy before announcing how great God has been to us! We have known about this precious little blessing for a little over two months and have eagerly awaited numerous sonogram and test results. We have witnessed God's mighty, yet gentle, hand every Tuesday for the past five weeks. This baby is a fighter. However, the road is not "clear" quite yet. We met with the pareanatoligist today to do a sonogram and blood test to determine if there are any chromosomal abnormalities; specifically Downs, and Trisomy 13 and 18. Although the sonogram looked great and the doctor said we were in the "safe zone," we are stil...

A Welcome Blessing in a Surprise

"For you created me in my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well. Psalm 139:13-14 A few weeks ago Scott and I got the surprise of our lives! I was home with the kids. Jack was napping while Grady and I were snuggling while I was feeding him his bottle. I had a strange feeling that something was up. I decided to take a pregnancy test not thinking the answer would be anything but negative. As the hour glass blinked on the screen, I continued to play with my baby. Then, the words appeared..."pregnant." What? No way! I think I had to look at the test a million times before I really believed what I was reading. How was this possible? I was holding my 4 month old for goodness sakes! I laughed out loud right then and there and praised God for His humor and His blessing. Scott didn't get home until late that night. I wrote, "Oops! We did it agai...
