Weekend Update

My Girls Saturday morning glued to cartoons.

Daddy finally got the baby swing up. There wasn't enough room on the big swing for Sweet Baby Girl's baby swing. So Daddy built another swing for it and room for 2 more things! Mommy is just as excited as Sweet Baby Girl.

The Dancer had a dance recital on Saturday late afternoon. She did a great job.

The pictures I took of her dancing did not turn out. They danced to a song from High School Musical "Fabulous".

After the dance recital we enjoyed supper at Applebee's. Our all time favorite. Sweet Baby Girl shared Strawberry Cheesecake with Auntie M.

Picture Time

First Popsicle!

New Baby Swing. She loved it. We took the big kid swing down for now but will hopefully make something for the baby swing this weekend. Our little house has a perfect tree for this. Sadly the tree didn't move with us.

She liked playing the radio!

Thinking Positive

Well, yesterday was not such a good day. I was stressed to think that this summer I might only have 2 daycare kids and not enough income to pay the bills. I found out my friend's baby of just 3 weeks old had to have surgery to drain fluid that is in the back of his brain. A very serious thing. He may be in the hospital for some time. I am worried because during my ultrasound they told me at this point Baby Boy Wynn is breech. If he doesn't turn head down that means I would need a c-section. No I do not want a c-section. I have other children to care for and have been told recovery time is a bit longer. So it wasn't a very pleasant day.

However today I have decided that its all going to be what it is. I can't always change the way things are. I can try to make things better but still sometimes its not in my hands. But I have decided to think positive. Everything always works out. I am going to pray for good things and do my best to stay positive for happy endings. I need to remember that my baby has many many weeks yet to turn head down. Maybe he's just being slow because we don't have a name picked out yet!

Believe it or not my Grandma once said "It gets worse before it gets better". God only gives us what we can handle. She wasn't very encouraging but maybe she is right. We have to learn to get through the bad before we can get to all the good stuff. Just like those tootsie pops. You don't get the tootsie roll until the end.

For now positive thoughts for happy endings.

Prayer Update:

Please continue to pray for Baby O. After many phone calls to Hospitals I found where he is and spoke to my friend. She felt something was not right and took him to the ER on Friday night and they flew him to the Hospital he is at now. They did an MRI yesterday and found some bleeding in the back of his brain. They did surgery on that to drain it. Tomorrow they will do a CT Scan. She said they got alot of information yesterday but it was alot to take in. She is able to be with him and talk to him and let him know she is there with him. She said alot of it is a waiting game.

Please continue to pray for Baby O and his family. Pray for a fast recovery and that they can be home soon as a family. My friend's little girl is almost 3 years old. She is alittle unsure right now with all the changes going on. Since I am home I have told my friend her daughter can always come stay with me. I wish there was more I could do.

I know my friend would be grateful to know everyone is praying for her little boy.

PLEASE PRAY

I have a friend from High School who had a baby on April 1, 2009. She had alittle boy. I do not know the details at this point but have heard that her little boy is in the hospital. He is just 3 weeks old today. Please pray for my friend and her family and of course Baby O.

Please pray the doctors and nurses caring for Baby O do the best they can.
Please pray that my friend and her husband are able to be there with their baby boy.
Please pray for the grandparents and other family and friends of Baby O.
Please pray that Baby O is not in any pain.
Please just pray that Baby O is as strong as his Mommy and he will be just fine!

Just please pray for Baby O.

*For privacy reasons I do not want to list names but I know if you take time to pray for Baby O and his family The Man upstairs will know who you are praying for.

Oh I can not imagine what my dedicated readers are thinking! No posts all day! I do apologize. I guess there wasn't anything to blog about.

I will say though I have major cravings today. I so badly want the carrot cake I ate back in 1917 when I was nanny. Ok not that long ago but it was years ago. They had the best carrot cake one day and of course I had to try it. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. I had to settle for pumpkin bars from Cub Foods. The carrot cake they had looked like someone sat on it. I also snuck a few Custard filled long johns into my cart and a slice of cake! No I won't eat it all at once but it sure does look good. I am going to need a to go on a major diet once this baby boy arrives.

On a side note: Hubby was taking the big girls for a walk and since Sweet Baby Girl was sleeping I was staying home. As they left I said "Don't get wet", (you could see in the sky it was going to rain). So as I am typing I hear them run back into the house. It did start raining! Rose looked at me and said "Well, we could have at least taken the van on the walk so we didn't get wet"!

Where's my Pizza?

So the other day I wanted to have pizza. For some reason there was no pizza in the freezer. Rose told me it was the leprechaun. He came into the house and took it. Do you think maybe it was this one?
