Every now and again I get away from posting on my blog just because I feel like I really don't have anything to blog about or simply don't take the time required to blog! I get so caught up in the craziness of life and forget to stop and think. I sometimes think about the past when I first had Jabez and how much "time" I had to do the things I wanted to do even though I had a baby. It was because I was home all the time and had more time to get things done around the house. Now I think I have just gotten so use to being home that I fill my time with so many things! I hate how busy I am sometimes and really just wished I knew how to say no more often.
So what's new you might ask....
My baby is 10 months old. Where or where has the time gone.
1. He is moving and cruising everywhere.2.He is getting in to everything.
3.In the last month and a half he has pushed through 6 teeth and I think he has more coming through. Needless to say our nights have been a little more than crazy at times.
4. He says "mama" all the time. I absolutely love it.
5. He is a very brave little boy by climbing up onto everything in the last couple of days. Talk about giving a mama a heart attack as I watch him do these crazy things.
6. I gave him his first official haircut last week because his hair was down into his eyes and beyond his ears. It was a hard thing to do because I always think haircuts make them look so different and so much older.
7. He absolutely loves to crawl through the grass and be outside in the beautiful weather.
My best friend's daughter turned 4 on Saturday. Crazy!
I remember the day she told me she was pregnant. I was astonished because she was told she would never be able to get pregnant because of a health issue called poly-cystic ovarian syndrome(PCOS). The fact that she got pregnant was an absolute miracle. Her pregnancy going pretty much normal was also amazing. So we celebrated her little girl's 4th birthday with a party in her back yard and a pink Walle cake. It was fun to do yet another cake.
My husband turned 29. Yup that is right we will both be 30 next year. Enough said. We celebrated by going out to lunch with friends. He really seemed to enjoy his lunch.
And finally we are inching every close to surgery day for Dakota. I think the closer we are getting the more I have been feeling a little apprehension. I know that he will be taken care of. I just don't like the thought of my baby going through something like this. I want to and am trying to come to a place where I have fully placed my baby in God's arms. Please pray with me my friends that I do this. It is a very scary thing for me as his mommy to think about a surgery for my baby. I know some of you have been here and maybe you can give me some insight on how to remain calm, cool, and collected. That is my prayer.
