Anticipation

Okay, so the countdown has begun.  We have 4 weeks 5 days before little man is to arrive.  As I write this, I'm thinking, "what if he comes before then?"  Am I ready?  I don't know.  Are you EVER ready for your first child.? I just know that I am excited and scared all at the same time.  I wake up frequently now at night....God just getting me ready for those nighttime feedings.  I wake up and think about all the "stuff" that I need to do.  Everybody tells me that never goes away.  I just can't wait to meet him and see what he looks like.  If anybody has some advice, bring it on!  I'm up for any encouragement! We'll keep you posted on his progress.  I'll start "getting checked" next week!

Amazing Weekend

Well...a lot has been going on at our household.  First things first....I found out this past Friday that I am now a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist!!  School is officially over...forever!!  Our celebration was short lived when we got a call that two of our youth in our church were in a very bad car accident on 280.  Micah was air-lifted to UAB with a head injury and Lindsay Kate was taken to Children's via ambulance.  We knew Lindsay Kate's injuries weren't life threatening but she still was in tons of pain with a broken hip, wrist, and collar bone.  Micah, who is LK's older brother, had a head injury and the outcome looked very grim.  We rushed up to UAB and waited for results.  Micah began responding to pain but still had not opened his eyes. He was still on a ventilator.  We just prayed that God's glory would be seen in this accident and also praying for healing...in whatever fashion our Heavenly Father ordained it.  I am so happy to say that Micah is sitting up talking and Lindsay Kate is moving around a little by herself. I have seen God's glory in all of this!!!  It has been amazing to witness.  Hudson is still kicking away!  We had a baby shower at my parent's church this past Sunday.  It was so nice and I was so grateful for the ladies who helped with it. I'll post some pictures of the shower soon!

Happy New Year

Happy 2009!!  Things have been crazy around our house.  I took my CRNA boards December 23 and now I'm just waiting for results.  Since I have all this time on my hands, I have been nesting. It's amazing how much you neglect as far as housework goes when you have been in school for 27 months.  Bryant has been a great helper though.  Hudson's room is almost finished.....well maybe almost is stretching it a bit.  I'll post some pics when it is complete.  I am really excited about this upcoming year.  We have a lot going on....new baby, job,...... I'm truly blessed with the best husband and family!  I hope your 2009 is filled joy and many blessings!!
