Happy 1-Month Day Grady!

Happy 1-Month Birthday Grady Steven!

While we cannot believe you have been here for a month, it seems like you have been here forever! You have already blessed our lives beyond imagine! Our family feels complete with you. You are the sweetest little guy loving to be snuggled. You look at us with so much love in your eyes that it just melts our hearts! You are such a good baby not really crying unless you're hungry or have gas. You just kind of hang out doing the typical baby thing; eating, sleeping, and pooping:) You are growing and changing everyday which, while exciting and fun, makes mommy a little sad because I know how fast time flies! Each moment with you in our lives is precious!

You are becoming much more alert checking everything out around you and staying awake in much longer intervals. You have even smiled here and there at mommy and daddy. You still LOVE your sleep though! You sleep in three to four hour blocks which is nice in the middle of the night! I think we are going to have a tough time waking you up for school in the morning when you get older! You have also added to your repertoire of noises by cooing at us. We love it. You are still the noisiest sleeper alive grunting and whimpering all night long. It's actually quite funny!

Your brother still adores you not leaving you alone for a second! You just look at him in utter amazement. I think you react and respond to Jackson more than anyone and anything else! Your bond must have began in my belly. I love watching you gaze at him and listen to the funny things Jack says to you. For instance, to calm you down when you are crying he says, "Shhh. Shhh. It's okay buddy. I am here. It's okay." You truly love each other like no other already.

A) I love the sign. Only Megan. :)
B) I love the second picture. I was reading this line:
"You look at us with so much love in your eyes that it just melts our hearts!"
and I scrolled down to see the next pic and giggled.
C) I love that he stops crying when Jackson tells him that he's here. Super cute.

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...

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. ...

Don't Lose You

When Jackson was a baby, I would hop into my car on my lunch break and rush to his day care to see him. I had thirty minutes with my baby and I needed every last second. I was a mess of a new mom and had a really hard time leaving him everyday. I was caught in the conundrum of loving teaching with all that I was and loving being a mom desperately wanting to stay home. I established a neat relationship with Jack's care-takers. They were a little older than me and much wiser. They will never fully know how appreciative I am for their advice and comfort during those beginning moments as a mama. When I decided to leave my teaching career and move halfway across the country to do so, they gave me a piece of advice that I didn't take seriously initially but now hold dear. They told me I had to find something for me. They watched me finish my master's that year and knew I was the type that needed to be doing. They recognized that I was about to enter a season where I had to hold...
