Wake Up Call





Oh Jackson. You never cease to amaze and surprise us! Grady and I were still asleep while Scott was getting ready for work right before 7am. Scott finished up and I heard him looking for Jackson. All of a sudden we hear the ding of the back door being opened and I hear the following conversation:

Scott: Why are you naked? Why are you wet?
Jackson: Because I went in the sprink-al-lers. It is fun going in the sprink-al-lers.
Scott: How'd you get outside? (Scott answers himself) Oh. You pushed your table over and unlocked the door.

Jackson slid his small picnic table over to the door, unlocked the hotel lock and the other two locks, took off his jammies, and took off running. A few minutes later Jack was dressed and in bed with me and explained that his hair was wet because he had fun going in the sprinklers. Then he asked me why they went off so fast. Our sprinklers do a three minute water on each section of our yard. Poor guy only got a quick run through. Maybe I should try a run through the sprinklers in the morning instead of my regular cup of coffee.

Through all his craziness, Jackson is a very sweet boy; especially to his brother. Grady was on the floor today rolling around playing with his toys. Jack got down on the floor with him and helped Grady grab his toys and play. They are so cute together! I love watching them play! Grady just LOVES his big brother!

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. ...

The Cup

I walked into the kitchen and spotted a blue solo cup on the counter. The following conversation played out in my head: "Whose cup is this? Which kid took out yet another cup? Didn't I ask them to stop getting a new cup every time they needed a drink? What is wrong with these people? They obviously don't ever listen to me." In the midst of my frustration, I realized the cup was mine. Oopsies. Good thing I didn't speak those words aloud. I went on with my life and my to-do list leaving MY cup right where I found it. I am the grown-up and can leave my cup where ever my grown-up heart desires. I came back into the kitchen a little while later and saw the cup again. I completely forgot the cup was mine so I rehashed the above conversation in my head. I was baffled by who left that cup on the counter. And then I remembered it was me. Again. Y'all, I did this two more times throughout the night. It was like Groundhog's Day but I was the only one celebrat...

Baby on the Floor

Yesterday I was putting a couple of things in the closet for the baby of what is going to be the nursery. Jackson was helping me and asked me where the baby was going to live. I told him where and he was excited since the room is next to his. Later that night Scott and I asked him where the baby was going to sleep and he responded by telling us that the baby was going to sleep in his room. When I asked him where in his room he told me, "on the floor." Scott antagonized him telling him that the baby would not sleep in his room but in the nursery. Jackson got mad at him and yelled over and over again that the baby was sleeping in his room on the floor. Oh my...it starts already!
