I am 37 weeks today- I never made it to 38 weeks with Jase, so it’ll be interesting to see what happens. I’m so tired I can barely type, so I’ll just post a few pictures from the Christmas festivities. My cousin took a picture of my entire immediate family, but I haven’t gotten it yet. It was awesome to be together for Christmas for the first time in several years! Cousins on Christmas Eve: Chail (6) holding Jase, Rocky…
I’m really thankful Jase’s Pediatrician’s office is open on Sunday mornings! After chatting with a nurse on the phone Saturday afternoon, it was decided we needed to take Jase in after 5 days of struggling. Long story short, our little guy has a double ear infection. Yikes. =( No wonder he has been miserable. Sigh. I’m very thankful for answers! I’m always so relieved when the doctor actually finds something instead of just saying, “He has a virus”. We were…
Jase finally got better from a bout with fever and HFM virus for 10 days, only to return to the nursery for one Sunday to be plagued with yet ANOTHER illness. The fever is back, and he is so miserable. He has some sort of cold, but the term “cold” just doesn’t seem to do this illness justice. I know he feels awful because he wants me to hold him all the time. That’s not my boy- he is an…
Just a few ways God has provided for us lately: A family member got Jase a MUCH NEEDED car seat for his weight and size for Christmas! At Thanksgiving I had said, “It would be a blessing if Jase could ride up to my parent’s in a car seat that fit him.” God totally agreed. We weren’t going to be able to send out Christmas pictures or cards this year, but we got a deal that included 100 picture cards…
A very sweet and generous friend gave us the gift of a maternity photo shoot. I think I’ve mentioned my “Wish List for God”, and having a maternity photo shoot was on that list. It was a deep desire of mine to be able to frame an intimate picture of Baby Girl and I while I was pregnant with her (to hang in her nursery). If not for this fabulous gift, we would not have had these special moments captured….
(I wrote this on Saturday, but didn’t post it. Chuck found it on the laptop and said he enjoyed it… so… thought I’d share.) Last Thursday night I attended an event called, “Celebration of the Arts”. I received the invitation through my writer’s group. We were instructed to bring a piece of our art- anything we had written- that we were proud of. I was a little nervous since I don’t feel like I have done anything substantial with my…
November is such a great month for me to be reminded to have a thankful mindset. There is always an abundance of things to be thankful for. I’ve been wanting to come up with a visual way for Chuck and I to list the ways God is blessing us. One year we had a thankfulness jar during November, and then we read all the things we had written down on Thanksgiving Day. Since we haven’t created anything yet, I decided…
Last week was so super rough. As I was starting to feel better from the stomach virus, I got two vaccines at my OB appointment. I have reacted (chills, aches, pains) to both vaccines in the past, so I figured it was going to be a tough weekend. And it was. Thankfully Chuck is Super Papa, and I was able to stay in bed for a lot of Saturday and Sunday. I’m still really weak. I just tried putting Jase…
I came out unscathed by the colds the boys (are still) suffering with, BUT ended up with my own virus. Seems it was created just for me and Baby Girl. I was attacked on Saturday morning with an awful, AWFUL stomach virus. I thought for sure I was going to end up in the hospital. To describe the symptoms in this post would not be very courteous to you readers, so I will spare you. Thankfully the worst seems to…
