Just finished reading an old blog that I forgot that I had. I am in tears. It was about my pregnancy with Braden and how God brought us through. I was showing Brady one of his sono pics. He said, "I all burned.", pointing to the black background. I told him that he wasn't burned that he was inside my tummy. He was upset! "I not in your tummy, I here!" I said, "No you were hiding in my tummy waiting to say, "Hi!" Well that didn't help! He puffed, "I no hide in there!" and walked off. So much for my Hallmark moment.
Its unbelievable how God watched over Braden, but we lost Naomi. In reality, I can't say I miss her because everything happen so quick, but I miss what could of been. All my life I wanted a house full of kids. I am not bitter, I wished it were different and Naomi was still here growing in my tummy. There's nothing like the feeling of life growing and learning inside you. I am so thankful God gave me that time with Braden. Some things we just have to accept as God's sovereign will and move on.
At first I didn't want to try again, but this has made my desire for another child so strong. Our little family just can't go through this again. Weeks of knowing that at any moment our unborn child was dying. Weeks of waiting for it to happen. Unsure what to do and what God would have us to do. We struggled.
And while I trust God, sometimes I question why couldn't he have just taken her and not put our family through so much. In all things I trust him!

Arrgh! My Wittle Pirate!

Ever since watching Bob the Builder, Brady has been crazy over Pirates. He is so cute and so funny with it, but yesterday took the cake! (Southern for "He out did himself!") I kept hearing him say, "Arrgh! I'm a Pirate!" Bobby yelled to me to come see. As I turned the corner, "What did my wondering eyes see?" Braden wearing a t-shirt, diaper, belt, and a pair of bright yellow fireman rain boots. Cute but, "big deal" right? Well sticking out from inside his diaper was his red recorder that I had bought him for school. (Its a musical instrument that has a mouthpiece to blow in.) He was using it as a telescope. However when I notice that the mouthpiece was inside his DIAPER I about puked!So now we have a very sad Pirate and a very sterilized recorder!!!!!! Argh! Looks like I'm the Pirate now!!!!!!!!

Water! Water! Wherefore art thou Water?

It's Monday and we have been out of water since Saturday Night! Ughh! For those who my not know, our water is brought to us in water tank trunks. We get service twice a week. Today is one of those days, but when we never know! Apparently while we were gone the cover for the overflow valve blew off causing the top layer of water to freeze. So when we got delivery last week the guy thought we where full when actually we got only water from the frozen layer to the top. Which was very little. (I think that is how it happened.) I have been washing clothes like a mad woman thinking we had plenty of water. OOPS!
So now Bobby has gone and paid 75 cents to fill our water cooler. We have smaller jugs for the bathroom that we use to brush our teeth and wash off. Lovely!
Because of the water situation I have decided that Brady and I will sleep late today. Well never mind! here he comes! "Mommy, where's my daddy?", Braden says in his best Shirley Temple voice. I say, "He's at work!" Then Braden says, "That daddy at work again!" "Yes son and we thank God we have a daddy who goes to work!", I reply. Braden grabs me in a big hug and says, "I love my daddy!". Aweee!
After making him strawberry and eggs for breakfast, cleaning as much I could without water, getting dressed and changing the kid, I am now ready to finish this post. (Maybe.)
Strawberry and eggs, you ask? Braden was watching Max and Ruby on TV. Max wanted strawberries, so then Braden wanted strawberries. I happened to have a small container of them so I gave Braden some. He ate all but three. Sorry daddy!
Oh well! Have a great day and pray I get water TODAY!
