The latest

Its been over 2 months since i have posted. I have been very ill with morning/all day sickness with this pregnancy. But i am happy to say that i am feeling much better and so thankful for that. I am now 15 weeks a long, here is a picture i took yesterday, cant beleive how much i am showing!

Titus is 22 months old today~! I just cant beleive it. He loves his "dottie"(stuffed dalmation dog), and now has started trying to feed him breakfast, lunch and supper, well i guess the dogs gotta eat right? lol.... He is talking in sentences, mostly "i love you", "im gonna get you"(a game we play), and last night he said repeated after me when i said, "eat your cheese".

He is still in his crib, and i have no desire to move him out of it untill he tries to climb out, which thankfully hasnt happened yet.

He is getting used to the potty, i sit him on there before bath and i talk to him about it a lot, and also he goes into the bathroom with daddy when he goes so he can see how a "big boy" goes potty. He still isnt showing enough signs to actually start training him but i know it will be soon.

He is weighing in at 28 pounds now, when he was born he was in the 25th percentile for his age and now is in the 75th percentile, he's a growin boy!

Well not much else is really new with us, Jarrell has been working a lot of over time, the only reason i dont like fall, everything else is wonderful about it, just wish i got to spend more time with my husband but they do a lot of overtime this season. But we are really thankful he has that job, praise God! He has blessed us beyond measure!

I wanted to ask everyone for prayer for a little boy named Stellan, i have mentioned him before on my blog here, and he is very sick again, his mothers website is http://www.mycharmingkids.net/ so please go over and read her blog and please pray for them.

This past week

Well i am finally blogging again, i keep getting behind, i dont know why i have days where i just cant seem to get on here, well maybe its because i am dealing with morning/all day sickness as well as chasing a 20 month old around, that will do it. But anyway, we went to our first doctors appointment on tuesday august 25th and we got an ultrasound, we got to see a little yolk sac and it looked like i was about 6 weeks or so. She wants us to come back on monday to get another and she says that if everything is developing the way it should that we should see a heart beat, so we are praying and praying that we see that little baby and heart beat, please join us in prayer as this is a very nerve racking time for our family, but we know that God is in control and he wants the best for his children so we beleive that whatever happens is his plan.

Little Titus is doing so much these days, yesterday he said his first sentence(besides i love you, which he has been saying for a while now), and his first sentence was: "im gon get you!" lol!!! IT was sooo cute, his daddy and me and him always play this game where we get down on our hands and knees and chase him around the table and say "im gonna get you!" so i got down to play that with him and before i said it he just yelled it out. Priceless! Jarrell and i just looked at each other and laughed. He loves playing with play doh a lot and also like bubbles. His favorite show is veggie tales, although i try to not let him watch much tv at all but since i havent been feeling the best i have been more leanient with that, and we sit on the couch and cuddle and watch silly songs with Larry, he loves them. :) Well anyway i just wanted to update everyone on whats been going on and i will try and post again after our doctors appointment on monday and will hopefully have a ultrasound picture to post too! ;) Have a great weekend everyone!

GUESS WHAT????? Well i havent posted since last monday and here it is monday again and i have some news to announce..........in a way i am a little scared to announce it b/c i have only told close friends and family and really i am not even sure who reads my blog, but i guess we will find out! So here goes...................IM PREGNANT AGAIN!!! YAY! I cant beleive it! Its very soon after our miscarriage but i know that if God allowed us to conceive then it is his plan so i am trusting in him and praying we can carry this baby full term and meet him/her. If you havent already noticed i put a little ticker thing on my sidebar to show you how far along i am and posted my due date as the subject. Oh...and i want to see just how many people read my blog(hoping to not be disappointed and get 0) but i wanted to ask you to please leave a comment on this post if you read it, please??? I would love to hear from you! Thanks everyone!

Not Me Monday!

Welcome to Not Me Monday! Its a blog carnival created by MckMama over at http://www.mycharmingkids.net/ This week i DID NOT:

Travel to Louisville, KY for 5 days only to return home for 3 and then travel to Warrenton and stay another 3 days away from home. I would never get my child so far off his schedule and routine, never!

Get Titus his own cup with a lid and straw wherever we went out to eat b/c i knew it would keep him occupied almost the whole time without screaming at the top of his lungs to hold mine. Even if in fact by the end of the meal he had taken his lid off his cup and was sticking his hand in the drink and wiping it all over his face, i would never let my child act like that in public! If i did i wouldnt post a picture to prove it either:

Go resale shopping with grandma smith from 9am in the morning till 3pm and take titus along, i wouldnt do that to him, i also did not let her buy everything in site and say ok when she refused to let me pay her back.(she's a sweet grandma)

Back from Louisville

Well if you wondered where i have been, i guess i should have told you, we went to Kentucky for a few days. Louisville. Ky to be exact, Jarrell was in a wedding there of his friend from high school and it was tons of fun! We went down last wednesday night and didnt get home till sunday night. It was a fun trip, but unlike many of you out there who have nice little laptops they can take every where as to blog everyday, i had to go into withdraws from the blog world while away(that was totally a joke, i would never do that right?) haha! they did have a business center at our hotel but we were so busy that i didnt even get a change to get down to it(by busy i of course meant that when we werent doing wedding stuff we were laying in the hotel room watching cable which we DONT have at home, lol). Also i forgot my camera so pictures from our trip were taken on my phone, not the best quality but hey, they work. My next blog i will post some of them. Anyway i just wanted to let everyone know i was still alive and i will post again soon......but for now i will leave you with.............a picture of:

MY LITTLE MONKEY(he's growing up so fast!)

Be strong Stellan and Kate

Tonight i found myself almost darting for my computer once i had Titus down to sleep, i dont usually get on here in the evenings but my mind is filled with thoughts, and prayers right now. I found out today from my friend amy that a little boy who's mom blog i follow is back in the hospital, his name is stellan mckinney and here is his story for any of you who dont already know: www.mycharmingkids.net

Anyway, ever since i heard the news i have been praying and praying that he will be ok and also just trying to understand why he is and his family are going through this. Tonight while reading titus his book before bed, after we said our prayers, i just sat and sang to him and rocked him.....nothing else on my mind but the fact that i am so thankful he is healthy and at home with us, i just took a deep breath and thanked God for that.

You know i think about Stellan and also about Kate, another little girl i am praying for who has a brain tumor, for her story go here, and i also would like to ask anyone who is reading this to join me in prayer for these 2 young ones and for all others out there who are struggling with things like this, please lift them and their families up in prayer. But i think about stellan and kate and it brings me to tears because i know that their parents are hurting, and they are so young and dont understand what is going on and why it is, it makes me wonder why do things like this happen to young precious ones, esp. the young ones of families who are beleivers and beleive and trust God and are serving him with their lives and how they live them. Why do they get diseases and tumors and have svt, why? It makes me angry, it makes me want to scream, it makes me want to take all their pain away and give it to someone older, someone who isnt a beleiver, and doesnt obey God and hates the things of God and wants nothing to do with them, THEY should have to have these horrible diseases, not Kate and not Stellan!!!!

But then i realize.......................God has a plan, God is mighty, God is just, God is soverign, God is all powerful. He knows what he is doing, and although this is happening to them, he is holding them in his arms, he is near.............Hold on Stellan and Kate.......be strong, our God knows best and he will heal you if it is his will to heal you, it may not happen today, it may not happen soon, but it will happen in his time, i dont know either of you personally, but i love you and i am on my knees praying for you everyday

Not my Child!

After just getting out of the bath it was not my child who, while i was finishing up the dishes decided he would go play in the window sill of the window dad opened earlier that mommy had no idea was open, that the dirt was probably built up from at least 5 years(guess i need to clean better), nope not my child!

It is not my child who decided after 12 months of sleeping soundly in his crib and laying down and going by himself that he no longer wanted to do that and now screams bloody murder any time you put him down to bed.

It is also not my child who can count to ten at only 1 and 1/2 but he gets a little mixed up at times and says 2 then 5 then 6 then 9, but hey he can do it! Im so proud!(had to put a nice one in there)

It is not my child who when you go into his room in the morning he will act like he wants out of his crib untill you go to pick him up and then he acts like he wants to lay back down and sleep and gives a little grin and then wants you to go to the door and say bye and act like you are leaving and then he will reach out for you again(he loves that game).

It is not my child who never cried when he was a newborn, every once in while if i let him get too hungry he would, but otherwise he would just fuss a little when hungry and otherwise sleep, now he has lungs bigger than any toddler i have heard and screams at random times in which scare me most of the time and make me almost have a heart attack.
