It's All in a Name

Wyatt Buz Fish


Ironically, I was going to post pictures of Wyatt today before I knew of my grandmother's passing. It is bittersweet looking at Wyatt and this new life while another one ended. Although he was named after my Grandpa Buz, my grandma is such a part of his name too. You see, there is no Grandpa Buz without Grandma.

Wyatt was the most wonderful "surprise" Scott and I could ever receive. I look back at the journey we have been through to create this perfect little family of five and I am in awe! When I became pregnant with Wyatt everyone said it happened for a reason. Well, the reason could not be more clear today. I look at Wyatt and am beyond grateful to our perfect God for blessing us with him and allowing me to name him after two very special and amazing people. Even though Wyatt was created for many reasons, I can clearly see that one of them was specifically for this time. I look into his new little eyes and see a great life ahead yet to be fulfilled and remember the life of my amazing grandma who has touched me beyond measure.

You see, God knew exactly what he was doing when He created Wyatt. He knew that we all needed a new little life to celebrate; a life that will carry on the memory of my grandma, and grandpa, forever. I will always look at Wyatt, or "Little Buz," and remember the love, support, and laughter that my grandma brought to my life. Thankfully she was able to hear him "talk" over the phone and was brought to tears.

I will miss my grandma forever. It will be strange to call her house and not get to talk to her and hear her funny stories and how proud she is of me. But, I get to look at this precious angel everyday and be reminded of the wonderful life and memories that I shared with a very special woman who will forever be held dear to my heart.

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...

A Welcome Blessing in a Surprise

"For you created me in 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 A few weeks ago Scott and I got the surprise of our lives! I was home with the kids. Jack was napping while Grady and I were snuggling while I was feeding him his bottle. I had a strange feeling that something was up. I decided to take a pregnancy test not thinking the answer would be anything but negative. As the hour glass blinked on the screen, I continued to play with my baby. Then, the words appeared..."pregnant." What? No way! I think I had to look at the test a million times before I really believed what I was reading. How was this possible? I was holding my 4 month old for goodness sakes! I laughed out loud right then and there and praised God for His humor and His blessing. Scott didn't get home until late that night. I wrote, "Oops! We did it agai...
