Monday Musings~Ode to My Husband

"Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart."
Psalm 37:4



Above is a picture of the flowers Scott brought home to me Friday night. He and Jack went to the store to get stuff to make burgers and Jackson excitedly brought these to me when they got home. This small gesture reminded me of what a great man I married. I remember back in the day when we were broken up and I had to "let go" of Scott. I didn't want to but knew I had to. Then, I came across this verse. I really didn't realize at the time that the desire of my heart was to be with Scott forever but the Lord did. I went about my life "delighting myself in the Lord" all the while letting go of Scott. Seven months later God brought us back together (it's a long but wonderful story to be told at a later time).

I bring that story up because the flowers reminded me that God blessed me with the desire of my heart: Scott. The most wonderful thing is that he is still what I desire. He is the love of my life and my heart longs for him. He is an incredible man who I am blessed to love and grow old with. I admire him and am proud to be his wife and the mother of his son. He never stops encouraging me even when I have a mental breakdown because I can't understand the research for my master's project. He will sit with me calmly explaining it to me until I understand. He challenges me to be a kinder person who worries less and enjoys each moment more (I'm still working on this one). He respects me and desires to fill my life, our life, with joy and happiness. He teaches our son everything from baseball to letter sounds and enjoys every second. He even teaches our son to love and respect women, especially his mommy. These are just a few of the MANY things I adore about my husband. Mostly, it is in the little things, like receiving flowers or Scott giving Jack a bath so I can have a break, that I see his love most!

So, I thank You, Lord, for giving me the desire of my heart. May I love, cherish, and appreciate every single moment I have with my good and perfect gift.

I love you through eternity, Scott!

Yeah, I love him too. I want a man just like him. Someone to explain my Masters research to me, someone to deal with my breakdowns, someone to not allow me to lose myself in him.
Where oh where is MY Scott???

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...
