Update

We are on our way to getting better! Hannah had/has RSV; she's getting so much better since the steroid and shot of whatever helps cure it. Her fever started to break last night and she slept a little better too.

She gained an ounce in 5 weeks. I know that sounds like so little, but considering she only gained 2 oz. in 5 months.... we'll take it! We are so excited!!! She is smiling a little today too. Thanks for praying for our little princess.

Her blood work came back completely normal! Her cultures are normal and her blood count is perfect. Thank you Lord for peace of mind and for your touch on our little girl.

Hannah's Sick!!!

We don't know what could be wrong. Our perfect little one that never had a sick visit until she was 7 months has now had 9 unexplained fever episodes (in only 3 months). She goes in for blood work tomorrow and I hate to watch them poke on her. She's still so little; she's only gained 3 oz. in 6 months and not gotten any longer. She eats better than any of our kids and she's the sweetest tempered baby that I've ever known. Really, this is a cry for prayer for Hannah and for her mommy and daddy. Walt and I haven't slept for 3 days and are snipping at each other and the kids. I know it's hard to believe....I'm not a jewel when I'm sleepy:)!

I do want to take a second to say that I truly trust God no matter what the tests show! I will bless His name and know that He has my best interest at heart and that He loves her more than I ever could. The pic above is so symbolic of our lives. Hannah is so happy riding in her daddy's arms. She squeals in delight as I am chasing her. She knows that no matter what... she's safe and even I can't get her. That's kind of how I feel; I know that if I draw close to my Father, he'll hold us safe and everything will be ok. I will squeal in delight as I grow to know "Papa" God deeper every day.

I just hate to see her in pain....ever

Thanks for your prayers guys! Thank you Lord for giving me the baby that could make any mommy long for more just like her. She's truly a PERFECT GIFT.... to a splendidly imperfect mommy.


I just corrected the grammatical mistakes in this post.... I can only say that I hadn't slept in days:)

I'm a blogger

Thanks to LL and Mommyspice for inspiring me to write and journal through blogging. I've stalked their blogs for long enough....I've contemplated this for months now and I've run out of excuses... so, here's my first blog. On my blog you'll find lots of pics of my sweet babies, crafting, my mental musings, and complete randomness! You won't find much whining, guy stuff, love for cold weather, or gossip. This could be fun.

I'm in one of those seasons of transition where everything in my life is changing. It's fun, scary, exhilarating, and motivating all at the same time. To get me started here's a picture of the kids at a Pumpkin Patch. actually, i can't figure out how to load pics:(

Happy Blogging,
