Ok BLINK. Yup, there it went! 2007 just went right past me! I can not believe all of the stuff that the Lord brought to our lives this year. As if adjusting to a 3 person family wasn't odd enough, we got a lot more than that! And before it's all over, we're preparing for a 4 person family! Stoker and I are still slowly, but making progress, adjusting to College Station. We definitely learned some lessons this semester and hope that he will be able to get things done a little more efficiently next semester. The Lord has blessed us with many encouraging calls from our friends and family back home at Mt.Zion! And my family here has been such a blessing as we have been sick several times in the last couple of months and they have been so great to chip in and help with SJ! (ok, have you any doubt when it comes to grandma and auntie sheridan?!) SJ is incredible! He is climbing and cruising and talking (baby talk) all the time. He loves to pick up the Trinity Hymnal or a Christ Centered Hymns and 'sing'. Auntie Sheridan taught him how to throw! Of course it always goes the opposite way of where he wants, but he has the idea of letting go down! =0) He also likes for us to open the window that leads out to the street and sidewalk, and he stands on his 'stool' (a stack of books) and talks to the people and cars that go by! We have started trying to get him use to socks and shoes (and trust me- he doesn't do both at the same time!!!). It has been trying, but he forgets they are there after so long. He has learned 'please' in sign language, and is unfortunately having to learn that just because you say it doesn't mean you are going to get what you are asking for! Hence the reason 'thank-you' is proving to be difficult- no gratification. I will be introducing 'drink' and 'hungry' soon. In mid Nov. I called Nemour's, again, to find out anything. She assured me they'd call when they heard back.... well she called and let me know that somehow they forgot to send his MRI's and X-Rays off so they were sending them right away. We got all the forms signed and faxed to Cedars-Sinai and hopefully will hear something soon.... Other than lots of bruises on the forehead, he's doing fine and is so adventurous! He took his first 4-Wheeler ride over the Thanksgiving holidays with his daddy! What a trooper, he even fell asleep at one point in time! Time to get some more camo Well, pregnancy #2 has been different! yet the same.... I was really sick the whole first tri-mester, even up till Sunday. But the last two days have been awesome. Las week we believe I had kidney stones return, no proof but I had all the same symptoms of the last pregnancy. Bes rest and lots of fluids- Stoker torured me with straight cran juice!- eventually got me back into the swing of things. I am hoping that the morning sickness is gone for good and that I can have a much more pleasant 2nd pregnancy. We get to do the ultra-sound on Dec.19! Stoker 'knows' it's another boy, I would like a girl, but hey- it sounds cliche but I will be happy with healthy either way!!! Well, when we moved here, I thought I had lost the battery charger to our digital camera. It was horrible, we really had come to love our camera. We searched high and low, box and box alike... I called the lady from our church that took care of the guest trailor to see if they could search for it, and of course nothing.. So tonight as SJ literally sucked down spaghetti (I am serious, the kid didn't chew!!) Stoker thought he'd look one more time. He came back a few minutes later, surely defeated right!? Well, he hands me a box, a CLEAR box, and says look in there! Well, right on top is our charger!! Okay, so you say 'well maybe it was a card box or something'..... on top of the box, in my own handwriting in permanent black marker is the word 'Electronics'. If it had been labled 'SJ's first dirty diaper' I probably would have looked in there first..... And I think one of these days I will be organized and have my thoughts together, but trust me putting electronics in the electronics box makes way too much sense for me! =0) Pics to come soon! Hope you all have a blessed holiday!! |
