Cwabby



About a month or so ago we bought Jackson a hermit crab. The kid really wants/needs a dog but Scott and I are not ready to take on that kind of responsibily. Quite frankly, we have enjoyed our pet-freedom. Anyway, I thought a hermit crab would be an easy pet to have and something Jack could enjoy. Well, it has been easy but we have added to the "Cwabby" family.

Scott looked up how to care for hermit crabs and found that they like to be together. So, Jackson and I made the trip to the mall yesterday and came home with two more crabs. So, now we have three: Spiderman, Batman, and Elmo. All are named according to what is painted on their shells. When we just had Spiderman we tried to get Jack to call him Spidey but, instead, he called him Cwabby.

Yesterday I went to the garage to tell Scott something. Jack had the crabs in their cage next to him. I told him that the crabs had to stay in their house until I got back. Of course they were all out when I got back. I found one under the chair but could not find Elmo. He was gone forever lost in our house. Scott, Jack, and I searched for Elmo Cwabby for ten minutes before I saw him crawling behind the tv stand. Thank goodness!!!

You are a crazy woman. But I guess Cwabby is better than Max in his early days. Oh Max...

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:)
