Wordless Wednesday

Daddy's Little Girl

Last week our home was struck by a horrible virus and Harrison and I got hit pretty hard.  To be honest, I spent five long days in misery.  Normally I love feeling little Harper move around in my belly, but those five days were no fun at all.  I prayed and prayed she would take some extra naps in there :)  Saturday my little man came down with the same bug and we were both pretty pitiful for quite some time.  Sunday afternoon (while Matt was on a Walmart run for Pedialyte and Children's Motrin) my dad called and said he was in my driveway with some goodies.  My dad had spent his Sunday afternoon nap time making me homemade chicken noodle soup and putting together an adorable basket filled with Gatorades, saltines, popsicles and other little goodies.  I said goodbye without a hug since I didn't want to share my bug, and Harrison and I waved from the front window as he drove away.  I couldn't help but blink back tears.  I was overwhelmed by the love of my dad and suddenly I was homesick. I know, I know....I was home.  But just because I am now a mom with a home of my own doesn't mean I can't be homesick once in a blue moon.  At that very moment, I wanted to go back about 23 years to the basement of my childhood home.  Sunday was the day I got to curl up with my daddy on the couch and nap as Star Search played on the TV.  Even though we don't take naps on the couch together anymore, we still have our daddy/daughter moments and my homemade soup was one of those moments.  Thank you Dad, for taking such good care of your little girl.  I love you!!

Bed Head

My son experiences some serious bed head. It is beyond awesome and I thought you might enjoy his crazy  blond locks as much as I do.  Everyday is a surprise and I always have my camera ready :)  Enjoy!!

 

Wordless Wednesday

My friend Rachel (you can see her adorable blog at http://www.babywebbsite.blogspot.com/) does a cute segment on her blog called "Wordless Wednesdays" and I thought she wouldn't mind if I borrowed her idea :)  SO here is the first (semi)wordless Wednesday.  Enjoy!

Bye Bye BaBa

Today we packed up Dr. Brown and said bye bye to the baba.  I know this should have been done four months ago, but I just couldn't bring myself to take them away.  This was all he had left of being a "baby".  Harrison never took a paci and he only sucked his thumb for three months so I will be honest, I wanted him to have his baba.  I started to worry that if I didn't do this soon, I would have myself in a real mess once Harper arrived.  The real test will be bedtime tonight.  I am hoping the transition is smooth and the little man doesn't even notice they are gone.....I'll keep you posted :)

Prayers Needed

Dear Friends,

This is a request to all my praying blog readers, please keep my Harrison in your prayers.  Next week we go to meet with a hand surgeon (Drs. Kleinert & Kutz performed the first double hand transplant here in Louisville last year).  Harrison has been unable to straighten his thumb for several weeks.  After having his thumb xrayed, the Drs. have determined it is not broken, but may be an issue with the tendons in his thumb.  I know there are many mommas out there dealing with issues far worse than a bent thumb, but I believe that my God hears our prayers and understands our worries.  He loves my baby (maybe almost as much as I do :) and I am praying that his thumb will be healed and we will give Him all the glory!!
