It's raining it's pouring.

When it rains it pours. Oh what a statement.
It has been a HARD two weeks for us.
First of all Brock caught Roseolla (the three day measles)
Then we found out we lost our second child
Then I had to have a D&C
During the D&C the resident anesthesiologist. Messed up while intubating me and I was unable to eat and really talk for four days.
Due to some really weird and crappy circumstances we are now a one car family. This could end up being a blessing, but it was a slap in the face during this extremely hard two weeks.
Brock got sick AGAIN with pink eye, and upper respiratory infection, and an ear infection.
The lady at target argued with me telling my insurance had been terminated while I was trying to get medicine for my son. Which it wasn't she just wasn't that bright.

This week we are starting fresh. We have fought so hard to find the hidden blessing in everything, which is almost impossible with the loss of a child. But we have survived. We have each other and our son. We WILL survive.

Baby Jaxon

Please take a moment and join me in prayer for Jaxon. Jaxon is my cousin's son who was born yesterday at 24 wks 3days. She had to have an emergency c-section due to her water breaking. He was born weighing 1lb 11oz. As of right now he is stable and fighting hard. He is reacting when touched, and trying to suckle. His skin is so thin they cannot hold him, but he has wrapped his little hand around his mom and dad's finger. My heart is so heavy for the journey they are going to have to endure, but I am so hopeful that our wonderful Lord and Savior will hear the cry of our hearts.

Update.

I have been a slacker when it comes to my blog. Sorry to my 4 followers! Lo1!

I LOVE being his mom. No really, I do. He is absolutely amazing. He changes and learns new things every single day. He is such a joy!

Where oh where can my baby be?

Looks up. Today is my baby's last "month birthday." If I am being honest I am kind of sad about it. I cannot believe how fast this year has flown by. Everyone tells you how quickly it goes by, but you cannot truly understand it until you are living it.

It is pretty much a fact I don't have a baby anymore. He has been walking for almost 3 weeks. When I say walking, I mean walking. As in every where. He is also running now. He did the cute little baby waddle for all of 30 minutes (and this is not much of an stretch!) He follows me around the house and plays hide and go seek in the bedrooms by opening shutting door. He doesn't use the door knobs of course but he shuts it just enough that he can get his chubby little fingers to pry it back open.

He has not had a bottle in three days. He still drinks plenty of formula in a sippy cup throughout the day. He feeds every meal to himself with the exception of his morning yogurt. He says Momma, Dada, up, done, and yeah, although not on a regular basis yet. He is much more a walker than a talker. He is wearing 12 month clothes, but the silly boy can still fit is some 6-9 month onsies. I know he is a "big" boy, but he really is long and skinny.

He loves to give hugs and kisses. He has a monkey he carries around kissing all day. He LOVES to flirt by playing shy. He tucks his head into my chest and batts his eye lashes. He will not to go people he doesn't know well. People (family) always try to force him to come to them when he doesn't know who they are. I almost punched Claytons aunt the other day. It was the first time she had seen Brock in like 9 months. She literally tried prying him out of my arms. He was clinging to me and looked at me with the most terrified look in his eyes. I am sorry but no! I am not an overly protective momma, but I will not force him to go to someone he considers a stranger. .He is a momma's boy through and through. There are times he actually gets mad when Clayton gets him in the morning and not me. I think it upset Clayton and little, but I assured him the next one will more than likely be a daddy's boy/girl.

He is just a sweet natured little guy. He was even sharing the other day! I was very impressed.

My heart has grown by 100% in this last year. I am so blessed.

Birthday invitations

I ordered Brock's first birthday invitations today! I am excited to be planning his first birthday party, but sad at the same time. He has grown up so quickly. As a side note, yes, I know Little is misspelled, this is just the proof. It will not be printed that way. :o)
