The Halfway Mark

So I have made it to the half-way mark. On one hand, I cannot believe I am already half-way through, on another, I feel like I;ve been pregnant forever! I guess I have in a way...lol! Anyway, I am cherishing each and every moment with this little guy. I LOVE being pregnant; especially this month and the months to come. I am always amazed at those little kicks and flutters I get to feel and I love having Grady all to myself. He is mine and I don't have to share him with anyone at the moment!

We went for our "big" ultrasound where they measure everything and Grady got a shining report card. We were even told he has a buddah belly (mommy has gotten her appetite back). My due date has been moved up again to May 21st which makes me happy. I'd like to recover at least some before celebrating my soon-to-be three year old's birthday! We are more than pleased and gratefully humbled that the Lord has blessed us with this thriving miracle and that He has allowed us to watch Grady grow. We have had an ultrasound every appointment since week seven. I cannot tell you how fascinating and AMAZING it is to watch your child grow from a kidney bean to a gummy bear and then to what finally resembles a human being. We have truly witnessed the hand of God!

Jackson has also taken a liking to his little brother. He keeps telling us that he is special because he is a big brother and carries and sleeps with his big brother book. He talks to Grady all the time and kisses my belly. He told me the other day that Grady will need blankies and that he will share his night night's with him. This is a very special thing since Jackson's night night blankets are sacred. I can't wait to see his reaction when he can actually feel Grady kick and then finally meet his little brother. Life is truly amazing!

21 weeks pregnant


Scratching his head wondering about this world he's about to enter. If you look closely you can see his little leg curled up. Btw, his profile is an exact match of Jackson's at this time.

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...
