Wyatt's Arrival

Two weeks dialated at a three and nothing. Come May 6th and a regular doctor's visit. I am still three and he is high. I think I'm heading back home awaiting Tuesday the 11th; induction day. Wyatt had other plans, go figure.

Wyatt got a little excited. His heart rate was in the 200s for no apparent reason. So, Grady and I hung out in the office swinging our legs and laughing while monitoring my little guppy. His heart rate wouldn't settle down and my fluid was a little low so my doctor decided to induce that day. After some juggling to get the kids where they needed to go and get a hold of Scott, I headed to the hospital with Bre. Scott met us there later. Amanda was also able to come. She got a sub for her class and headed over.

Cathy broke my water at 1:30pm. I must say, that was a strange strange feeling. I've always had an epidural when they break my water so I've never felt it before. My nurse started the pitocin and away we went. About half-way through his heart rate dropped to 60 so they had to stop the pit, move me to my left side, and give me some oxygen. He came right back up to normal a little later so back on the pit I went.

I decided to try to go natural. I had some issues with the epidural with the boys so I thought I'd give it a whirl. The contractions I felt up to getting to a seven were manageable. Seven to nine on the other hand, whoa nelly! With the confidence and encouragement of Scott, Bre, Amanda, Cathy, and my nurse I did it. Delivering without pain meds was absolutely incredible!

Wyatt Buz Fish was born at 5:34pm and was 7lbs. 13oz. and 19 inches. He was healthy and strong, alert and letting the world know he was here. I had a little complication about an hour after his birth but Cathy worked her OB magic and healed me right up!

We could not imagine our lives without Wyatt! It seems like he has been here forever. Jackson is, once again, a phenomenal big brother helping and loving on Wyatt. Grady smiles at his little brother laying his head on him and helping with his pacifier. We are beyond blessed to add this new little angel to our family. We are looking forward to watching our family grow through the years enjoying each moment that we have together!

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. ...

Tuesday Toddler Tales~A Mother's Worst Nightmare

I lost Jack. Don't worry, he has been found but for the longest I'd say 8 minutes of my life he was gone. I was at the mall with two girlfriends and their kiddos. We were all having lunch at the food court when I stepped away to get some ketchup. Jack stayed behind with his friends. I was gone for maybe a minute and a half or so. When I came back he was gone. His chair was pushed in and empty. I began to panic. One friend stayed behind with all the other kids while my other friend and I darted off in oposite directions. Others began to notice our panic and jumped in the search with us. I saw nothing in my direction, not even shoppers. I turned around and started the other way. I got to the carousel where I thought he'd be and he wasn't. At this point it took everything in my power not to faint. I felt like everything around me was spinning. I was so overwhelmed with where to look. I just kept running, frantically asking people if they saw a little blond-haired boy with ...

Notoriety

Teenage Mother A donkey owner Simon of Cyrene Who are these people? I am sure you can figure out the first one: Mary the mother of Jesus. Who are the others and what do all three of these people have in common? They all did extraordinary things but, for the most part, went unseen. Do you ever feel unseen? Undervalued? I do. I try not to get caught up in that space, but I find myself there too often. While Mary is infamous today, she wasn't when she brought the King into this world. She was a teenager who gave birth in a barn. She was an outcast who was pregnant but not married. She told of an unbelievable story involving an angel, a Spirit, and a Savior who was going to save the world. Could you even imagine? It's easy for us to be in awe of Mary. We know the whole story. She didn't. And neither did the people around her. She had to live it. To top it all off, she had to watch her beloved son die a gruesome death. Talk about feeling unseen and undervalued. She faithfu...
