Dear Grady-do,

You are one precious little fella! You are AMAZING! You LOVE being on your belly now rolling over any chance you get! Mommy gets a little worried because you enjoy sleeping on your stomach primarily with your face planted in the mattress. But, you are breathing so I just turn your head a little and let you enjoy your sweet baby dreams. Toys entice you as you try to wriggle your way to them. You have some very exciting conversations with mommy, daddy, and Jackson, as well as, your toys. You have lots to say in the morning bright eyed and smiley.

You are an incredible sleeper! You sleep through the night going to bed at 8:20pm EVERY night and getting up around 6:30am. Daddy and I thought you were getting teeth but apparently we were mistaken. You'd think we'd know what we were looking at being this the second time around. Instead, you have small cysts on your gums that are quite common and will go away on their own. Good thing they don't hurt you! I also thought you weighed more but, as the doctor says, you are tall and skinny. So, we will be starting rice cereal soon to get some meat on those bones! We also have to work on your neck muscles. You have a little flatness on the left side of your head. This was caused by something in your neck in-utero (I don't know the doctor terminology) so it is a little sore for you to move certain ways. Don't worry. Mommy is going to learn some exercises to help you out!

You smile a ton and giggle A LOT! However, everytime mommy pulls out that big black thing that flashes in your face you hide that smile away. Stinker! You are definitely developing your personality. I love it! You are such a snuggle-bug! I hope this never fades! You are also very sweet and loving. Your feet astound you when you catch a glimpse. They are pretty incredible! I do love me some baby toes!

We love you more than words, Grady! Thank you for blessing us each and every day bringing a smile to our face every time we look at you! Until next month...

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.
