While the Baby Sleeps...

The last 7 weeks have gone by relatively smoothly. Hubby continues to work hard to provide financially and especially physically and emotionally as we adjust to my frequent inability to get things done as quickly as we would like. He often helps with meals and he enjoys helping with Peaches. Kiddo loves to help as well and we have found him to be a great assistant when it comes to getting needed supplies, giving the baby her paci, and even placing or removing Peaches from her car seat or swing. He lets us hear about if he doesn't get to hold her enough each day and loves to dote on her. However, Chuy continues to be timid and unimpressed when it comes to the baby...he still tries to check her out. :)


Here are lots of pictures to make up for my lack of words:



ABOVE: 2 days old

BELOW: 3 days old, going to church :)

ABOVE: 10 days old, just relaxing with a full belly

BELOW: sweet yawn

ABOVE: proud brother trying out a bottle (a rare occurence since Peaches is breastfeeding and is doing remarkably well - at 5.5 weeks she weighed 10 lbs 9 oz!)

BELOW: rockin' the cloth diapers! :)
ABOVE: sleeping in her own bed
BELOW: a little expression we seem to see a lot of
ABOVE: B-Bro checking her out
BELOW: Ah-CHOO! :)
ABOVE: she LOVES these little chime toys!
BELOW: look at the sparkle in those eyes!
And my ABSOLUTE favorite:
Really...does it get any sweeter? :)
We are so madly in love! Uh-oh! I have to run...the little monster is waking to eat! :)
Be blessed...you know I am. :)

On the Brink of More Change...

I can feel it. I am on the cusp of something new. Something different. Something beautiful. I still have no idea what God might be up to - and I am truly okay with that at the moment. I have completed another round of Freedom in Christ. God spoke to me in so many ways...and He continues to do so. I feel so very valued and treasured by my Father. I am in relationship with Him in ways that I always wanted - yet never really felt were achievable. As I have put forth the effort to come to Him more consistently and with a growing desire to go deeper, He has been unendingly gracious and faithful. So as I fall on my face, He gently leans in and scoops me up. The panic and anxiety that once ruled my life are far less, and the calm amidst the  chaos has grown exponentially. I know where to go when it begins to grow again...and it does. Sometimes. Yet God is always ready when I call on Him...and that in and of itself are a learning curve for me. I've learned that others are not constant. Sh...

I Have Returned to the Land of the Living...

I promise that I'm around and making it here! It's been pretty crazy what with starting school and becoming a leader in our homeschool support group. (In my defense, I didn't realize that was what I was doing. I thought I was going to coordinate the holiday parties...turns out when you only have one active officer, said officer reserves the right to make you a leader in that group. Hmm. The things you learn. :) School is going okay...or should I be more specific? Social studies, Language Arts and Science are going okay...mathematics? Not so great. We have determined that Hooked on Math is NOT a good match for my child. He gets SO frustrated he winds up in tears within seconds of the MENTION of "Hooked on Math". (While I must admit that a portion of this is due to his processing issues and I want him to learn to be more flexible, I NEVER want him to be THIS stressed out. Therefore we are searching for a new math program/curriculum. I am very interested in Math-U-Se...

Keeping My Eyes Fixed In the Storms of Life

On September 20th, my father-in-law collapsed at home. My mother-in-law called 9-1-1 and emergency crews arrived within a few minutes. During that time, he stopped breathing and had no heartbeat. Emergency crews were able to revive him, and he was transported to a local heart hospital. The next two weeks were nothing short of torturous. In order to stop potential brain damage, he underwent a procedure that chilled his core body temperature almost 10 degrees and then after 24 hours, warmed him to normal body temp. Doctors were unsure if he would awake. However, after 12 days on the ventilator, when it was removed, it was like someone flipped a switch. He simply woke up. Even the doctors were amazed. Still groggy from the medications used during that time, he remembers nothing from that time, until about 5 days later, shortly before he had his pacemaker installed. Twenty-two days after his "cardiac event", he was released from the hospital. Still quite weak, he continues to g...
