Tuesday Toddler Tales~Thunder and Lion King


I can't dissappoint all of you regardless of what I am going through. Plus, telling funny Jackson stories brings a smile to my face and gets my mind off of what's at hand, if only for a moment. So, here it goes...

We had a pretty good thunderstorm a few nights ago. It came out of nowhere fast. Jackson loved watching the rain, seeing the lightning, and listening for the thunder. He always asks us if we heard the thunder. He was all excited to hear the thunder and kept saying to Scott and I, "Did you hear that? Did you hear the thunder and lion king?" At first we didn't catch on but the more intently we listened we realized that instead of saying lightning he was saying lion king. And, no, he hasn't seen that movie. Oh how I love when he says silly things like that. I wish he never would grow out of it!

I don't remember how I found your blog, I think I clicked on a comment you made one time on The Peters Blog. Anyway I wanted to let you know how sorry I am for your loss. When I was reading your story it sounded identical to what I went through in Nov/Dec. I was 10 weeks pregnant went in for a routing doctors appt. they could not find the heartbeat at 12 weeks I miscarried. I can't say I know exactly how you feel but I have a very good idea. It looks like you had the same ONE to rest in and know that HE can heal your heart. Just wanted you to know that you have been in my prayers lately.

Notoriety

Teenage Mother A donkey owner Simon of Cyrene Who are these people? I am sure you can figure out the first one: Mary the mother of Jesus. Who are the others and what do all three of these people have in common? They all did extraordinary things but, for the most part, went unseen. Do you ever feel unseen? Undervalued? I do. I try not to get caught up in that space, but I find myself there too often. While Mary is infamous today, she wasn't when she brought the King into this world. She was a teenager who gave birth in a barn. She was an outcast who was pregnant but not married. She told of an unbelievable story involving an angel, a Spirit, and a Savior who was going to save the world. Could you even imagine? It's easy for us to be in awe of Mary. We know the whole story. She didn't. And neither did the people around her. She had to live it. To top it all off, she had to watch her beloved son die a gruesome death. Talk about feeling unseen and undervalued. She faithfu...

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...

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. ...
