8 Months! Gasp!


Dear Grady~

Can you bring any more joy in our lives? Seriously kid! Everyday you make us laugh and smile. Your sweet spirit is such a blessing. The love and relationship between you and Jack is astounding. He loves you so much and you are still in awe of him. He calls you Grades which I think is so sweet. You love to watch Jack and daddy play and wrestle just waiting for the day when you can get in the mix.

You still aren't officially crawling. You do crawl backward and push yourself forward on all fours to get where you want to go. You get those legs going but your hands are glued to the floor. You get on your hands and feet straightening your legs out and kind of "walk" forward. You also LOVE to stand! I think you'd much rather stand than try to crawl. Mommy and daddy have to get you in standing position but once there, you are good on your own and oh-so-proud of yourself!

I know you said "mama" the other day but "dada" is still your word of choice. You had quite the conversation last night with mommy and daddy on the bed making all kinds of new sounds. You had so much to tell us. I loved watching your little lips form all those new sounds. So cute! Speaking of your mouth, you have two teeth on the bottom. We woke up one day and poof, teeth appeared. I couldn't believe it! You didn't cry, whine, fuss, nothing. I am crossing my fingers and toes that this will be our teething pattern.

I really don't think anything really upsets you. I have only heard you really cry when you bonk yourself on something. Other than that, you just kind of hang out and go with the flow typically with a smile on your face. You do give us this look (like the picture above) that says to me, "Really folks?" I love that look.

We love you more than words. You are our "good and perfect gift from above!" God is so good blessing us with you. He knew we needed a little Grady in our lives! Until next month my sweet angel...



You are such a happy little guy! Your smile lights up any room!


Daddy and I love your crazy fuzzy red hair! We play with it all the time. It's who you are!





Always trying to be on the move!


You still adore your brother and love playing with him.

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...
