B-to-the-L-O

My very dear friend, Brandi, came out to visit us this weekend. We had so much fun having her here and I enjoyed some much needed girl time! I also needed a little taste of home and she brought a little California with her which was nice.

Brandi and I met in the teaching credential program at Cal State Fullerton when we were 22 and have only grown closer over the years. She was the one who convinced me to get my master's degree and I am forever grateful to her for that. She has seen me through very high highs and very low lows. I love her with all of my heart and miss her terribly everyday! Thank goodness for text messaging or I'd be lost! Thanks for coming out, Brandi! I miss you already!

B and I at the Abby. Yummo! We ordered SO much food!


Jackson wanted to sit by Brandi at lunch. So sweet! He was calling her Gramma because she was staying in the room Grandma stays in when she comes to visit.


Me, Jack, and the goggles at lunch.


Jack and his new turtle goggles and lunch box. He walked through McAllister's like this. Good thing he's only 2 and people thought it was funny. Crazy kid!


Me and my B-Lo outside the candy store where we once again gorged ourselves.


I am so blessed to have such an amazing friend (and friends) in my life! I am forever grateful for how this woman has impacted my life!!!

I am so jealous you have McAllisters. It is one of my favorites. We had it in Springfield and I was addicted to their sweet tea. I'm glad you had fun with your friend. Love ya!

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...

Grady's Story

Grady Steven Fish 7lbs. 3oz. 19 1/2inches April 25, 2009 4:45pm SURPRISE! Actually, I think absolute shock is more appropriate! This was me a week ago...happy at 36 weeks pregnant with not much happening. I thought for sure that I had at least 2 weeks left, if not four. I did, however, frantically run around town that day getting all the things I thought I needed to get just in case. Good thing I am a little neurotic and OCD because it paid off a few days later. I have had contractions on and off since I was 25 weeks pregnant or so. I never thought anything of them because they were so sporadic and fairly painless. Friday camearound and I noticed that I was having more contractions than usual. Grady was still moving about so I didn't worry much. Around 2:30pm that day I laid down because the contractions were coming on a little stronger and closer together. I called Scott to let him know and honestly, to see when he was coming home from work. Jackson was still napping and I wasn...

Joys and Sorrows

Ok,so I don't really know what to say. All I know is that writing is therapeutic for me and I think I need a little therapy right now. Where to begin? I guess with my doctor appointment. I went in for my routine 12 week check-up only to find out some grim news...the baby had no heartbeat and stopped developing at 10 weeks. No...this cannot be happening...again. There is just no way. God wouldn't allow this to happen again. Yet, it did. How am I feeling, you ask? Honestly, I don't really know. I am deeply saddened, angry,hurt, overwhelmed, fearful, determined, full of faith, lacking in faith, etc., etc. How should I be feeling? What should I do now? Do I sit and cry or do I go finish the errands I need to get done today? I am at a loss. What I do know is that less then a week ago I was experiencing such great joy. I watched my son enjoy the very things I loved as a child. I enjoyed time spent with my husband and with us as a family. I felt my toes in the sand, watched my fav...
