Tuesday Toddler Tales~Who Are You?

Jackson got a haircut yesterday (I'll post a pic later. He's sleeping right now.) and all I could do was look at him and wonder when he got so big. We were at Nordstrom today and the make-up lady was having a full conversation with him. I didn't have to translate the babble for her or help him. He just talked away. I LOVE what stage Jackson is at right now. Yes, he is "testing his limits" trying to see where his freedoms and control lies, but he is so much fun. I just cannot believe what a little man he is becoming. It is incredible!

Being pregnant I keep having crazy pregnancy dreams. All of you who have been pregnant before know what I am talking about. Anyway, anytime I dream about Grady or a baby they all look like Jackson did when he was itty bitty. Even though I love my "little adult" I cannot help but get a little teary-eyed that he no longer has those sweet baby toes, or makes his "duck face" when he stretches, or snuggles against my chest after his morning feeding. He is my precious boy and sometimes I miss the little baby he once was. There is just something magical about a mother and her son.

Oh, I know what you mean. I was just thinking the same thing about Andrew. I was rocking him for his nap and his toes were hitting the wall because his legs are so long they hang way over the arm of the chair. It just seems like yesterday when his whole body fit in my arms.

I hear ya friend. Its surreal how much they change over what seems to be such a short period of time. It makes us sound like our parents who talk about how fast life passes you by. Just think, Jack will be three, Gavin will be four, ELijah will be two and lil Grady will come greet us all this year!!!!!

I know exactly what you mean... Even now that I have another bitty, I still miss the baby C sometimes... She's just growing up so fast. And, not even to mention how quickly that littlest one is growing - someone's gotta tell her to stop it!

I look at Grace everyday and wonder how did she get to be so big. It is truely amazing how they just overnight turn into this little person and aren't a bitty bitty anymore. Makes me kinda sad and kinda happy all together in the same moment. Hope you are feeling good!

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

Don't Lose You

When Jackson was a baby, I would hop into my car on my lunch break and rush to his day care to see him. I had thirty minutes with my baby and I needed every last second. I was a mess of a new mom and had a really hard time leaving him everyday. I was caught in the conundrum of loving teaching with all that I was and loving being a mom desperately wanting to stay home. I established a neat relationship with Jack's care-takers. They were a little older than me and much wiser. They will never fully know how appreciative I am for their advice and comfort during those beginning moments as a mama. When I decided to leave my teaching career and move halfway across the country to do so, they gave me a piece of advice that I didn't take seriously initially but now hold dear. They told me I had to find something for me. They watched me finish my master's that year and knew I was the type that needed to be doing. They recognized that I was about to enter a season where I had to hold

Monday Musings~You have been called...

"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." Psalm 139:13-14 ...to pray. Meet our newest addition; baby Fish. I am officially 8 weeks four days pregnant! PRAISE GOD!!!! We saw our precious miracle today for the second time; heart flickering away on the monitor with little arm and leg buds beginning to form. The doctor gave us a great report telling us that everything looks perfect...can't get any better than that. God is so good to us. We are blessed beyond belief to experience the miracle of life once again. Please pray for our growing family and our precious growing angel. We feel the presence of God daily and welcome and need your prayers.
