The Curiosity of a 3-Year Old



Jackson has been pretty oblivious to the whole baby thing. He even went to one of my ultrasounds and thought we were just checking my belly to make sure everything was working properly. We didn't want to share the news with him until we knew the pregnancy was viable and the baby was healthy. Well, apparently there are other ways to find out mommy is pregnant other than us telling him or seeing his baby sister/brother on the screen. He and I had the following conversation while I was getting dressed a little over a week ago:

Jackson: Mommy, why is your belly growing bigger?
Me: (laughing and contemplating if I should tell him) Well, mommy has another baby in her belly.
Jackson: What? How did another baby get in your belly?
Me: God was so nice and loved us so much He gave us another baby.
Jackson: Well, tell God to take it back.
Me: I can't tell God to take the baby back. He already blessed us with another baby.
Jackson: But I just want my Grady.
Me: You'll love another baby, too, and be the best big brother ever!

Jackson then kissed my belly and seemed satisfied with that answer. Good thing my belly was getting bigger for a reason other than eating too much ice cream! He goes back and forth with the idea of having another sibling. One minute he will kiss my belly and the next he will be hugging Grady telling me that he only wants "his Grady." One thing is for sure though, he is on his daddy's side and wants this baby to be another 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. ...

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...
