Tuesday Toddler Tales~First Day of "School"



Jackson started his first day of school/summer camp today! He was SO excited while I was a little apprehensive. However, watching him carry his backpack and grin from ear to ear was pure joy! When we got to school he saw his buddy Gavin and was excited to be going to school with him. He was ready to start the day even knocking on the door to get the teachers to let him in.

Once inside he ran to his classroom and wanted nothing to do with me. He began playing and off he went. So, off I went for five hours without my baby boy. I had a lot to do and got a lot accomplished. It's amazing what you can get done without a two year old around! It was a little strange being home without him here. I felt like I had to be quiet because it seemed like he was taking a nap. When I went to pick him up his teacher said he had a fantastic day and was very sweet. His only downfall was that he didn't want to nap. I think I'd struggle, too, if all my friends were laying next to me. All-in-all he and I had a great day! I am so proud of him!

Jackson SO beyond excited to wear his backpack (from Macy) and go to school,


Jackson and Gavin ready to reek havoc on the school. Oh my...those teachers don't know what they are in for!

What happened to the part where you almost forgot to pick him up? I love that first pic. He's so happy. I wonder if I'll be able to see that smile through the plastic suit and mask I'll have to wear next week....

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...

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...
