Thursday Thirteen~13 Things I Dislike About Flying

1. I think the plane's going down at any moment and I am going to wind up like the cast of Lost on some deserted island where no one can find me
2. The smell of the airplane gives me a headache
3. Taking off...I get a little woozy when the pressure changes
4. The cramped space that you have to sit in for the entire flight not wanting to get up to go to the bathroom because you don't want to climb over the ginormous man sitting next to you
5. Did I mentioned the bathrooms reek and are disgusting?
6. Going through security-I actually don't mind going through security. I do mind, however, all the morons who did not place there liquids in a zip lock baggie and keep all there jewelry and shoes on when going through the check point. Are they living under a rock? C'mon folks!
7. Delays-not just the delay of your flight but the fact that your flight is delayed and they never tell you why. Meanwhile you are just sitting there twiddling your thumbs in the wonderfully glorious airport.
8. Waiting for luggage. Mine always seems to be the last one out if I even get it at all.
9. People who bring a larger than life suitcase on-board thinking it's a carry-on. Then, we all have to wait while they store the thing below because it is to big to fit in the overhead compartments.
10. I am always hot in the airport and on the airplane!
11. The tiny cups that they serve your beverage in...sometimes they will give you the can with the cup but seriously, that cup is like a sip!
12. Is it just me or do you ever feel like everyone is breathing your air in an airplane. I'm surprised we don't run out up there!
13. However, after all this griping and complaining, there is a positive...the destination is usually always worth the trip!

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...

9 Month Pics

I must admit that Grady's 9 month pictures were a challenge. The weather has been quite cold so I had to do something inside. It was cloudy the day I shot the pictures so my lighting was off. To top it all off, Grady is on the move and I forget that I have a belly to contend with! Lol! I tried my best! Enjoy:)
