Khrista

Today as i sit here and write this, my heart is heavy and my mind racing with many thoughts. This morning i found out that my roommate from college, khrista, had her baby at 8am yesterday, when she delivered her uterus became dettached as well and delivered with the baby. She lost 40% of her blood and they had to shock her twice to get her heart to start beating again. They had to perform a hysterectomy and remove her ovaries and also had to do a procedure to stop the bleeding, all which were successful, praise God! They have been keeping her sedated but she woke up long enough this morning to put her hand on her husbands. i am told that the next 48 hours are very critical and that she is in the ICU. Please keep her and her family in your prayers as i cant even imagine what they are going through right now. But there is still hope and i know they are trusting in the Lord to pull her through as we all are.

Hearing about Khrista this morning really got me thinking. Things that i would have normally stressed about today just seem so petty you know? Titus has been whining a lot lately, but you know what? He's alive and hes healthy, and also he is almost 2, so i know that i just need to realize this and know its a stage and handle it with patience. I think God uses things like this to not only make us realize certain things but also to bring us closer to him. I havent prayed fervently like i have all day in a long time, and i should, i should be on my knees everyday thanking him for everything and also praying for people.

I feel flutters!!!

Yesterday i was 4 months pregnant, wow times flies! But then again it sometimes seems to drag when you are pregnant too. Tomorrow we go to the doctor, we will get to hear the heart beat and check my weight. I had been having trouble gaining weight b/c i was so sick and lost so much but i think i am starting to gain, so i am very thankful for that. The biggest news is that i started to feel the baby move, yay!! What peace of mind that brings:)

Titus lifted my shirt up last night while i was laying and texting someone and started rubbing my belly and saying "baby baby" it was sooo adorable and then he gave the baby kisses. I think often about what it will be like for Titus to not be my only baby, it is a bittersweet feeling. I know he will make a great big brother and of course he will always be my first born:)

Today i am going to take titus to the park when he wakes up from nap to take some pictures in the leaves(i will post them soon), i am hoping its not too chilly and most of all that my camera doesnt die during it, lol.....

Well here are some latest picture of Titus, he was a Dinosaur for Halloween, but we didnt take him trick of treating this year yet, he is still too young and we dont let him have much candy, although he did have 2 suckers on Halloween in which his mommy almost had a heart attack(i work hard on keeping those teeth healthy, lol!) Anyway, so here are some pics of little man, enjoy and have a great day everyone!!!

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!)
