TWO!!!

Wordless Wednesday!

Happy Easter!

We had a great Easter weekend, busy but wonderful! For now I am just going to leave you with a few pictures!

Is it alright to LOVE your OB??

Is it alright to LOVE my OB?? We are talking about going back down the path of unknown and start trying again for another baby, it isn't as easy as it seems. Over the course of all our pregnancy loses, ALL the specialist, ALL the test, and everything else- the new OB I started to see when I made it past 9 weeks with Harper found out I have blood clotting issue that has been causing the miscarriages! We thought or hoped that since we found the problem that the next time we got pregnant everything would be OK...well no such luck! After 2 back to back miscarriages we have taken sometime off and now I think we are mentally ready to see what will happen...back to lovin my OB...I called him today to ask a few questions and he called be back REALLY quickly..this man is SO wonderful! He listens to me and has ALWAYS had a way of making me feel better and positive. ALL through my pregnancy I was a total NEUROTIC, but I mean who wouldn't be after all we went through..but to be honest I still am neurotic and this kind man never makes me feel like I am crazy. I love him!

Thanks Mr. Garbage man!

We have the best garbage man EVER! On Tuesday mornings a strange little excitement fills the air..what is you ask..well its knowing that soon our wonderfully sweet garbage man will be coming down the street! When Harper hears the truck starting to come down the street she runs to the front door and claps and sequels! This ooh so very kind man always looks at the door to see if she is there and then he waves and does all kinds of neat little tricks with the arm on the truck that picks up the can. I don't know who this man is but I think it is so sweet how every week he takes a few minutes out of his day to entertain one very happy little girl!

CHD Awareness Week!

February 7-14 is Congenital Heart Defect Awareness! I could never have imagined that it would be so important to me BUT the day after our sweet baby was born we found out she had a hole in her that that would need to be repaired.I can not tell you how hard it was to hear and to comprehend what was about to happen to this miracle that we had waited and worked so hard to get here, was now going to have to go through open heart surgery! The course of the next few weeks we had weekly visits to the Cardiologist until the day came when he told us she was going to have the surgery the next week.It was hard and emotional.My daughter will forever be MY hero, she was so strong and so very brave at only 6 weeks old..she was amazing through it all.I feel so blessed that her defect was corrected with only 1 surgery,we meet so many families that faced much more then I can even imagine!My child is healthy today and we are so lucky.Other families are not so lucky,my thoughts and prayers go out to them daily when I thank GOD for my daughter with an AMAZING heart!

Highlights from December

Ok since it is STILL January I am going to post about Christmas, or the whole month of December.I don't know what it was about this year but I think this was one of my favorite Christmas's!
The month of December started off with a trip to Callaway Gardens with the cousins,they all had a great time..it was cold but we bundled up and rode the trolley, Harper clapped and said "ooh" the whole time!

The next weekend we celebrated our sweet nephews 1st Birthday party!


The next morning we all(My brother and sister-in-law and their 2 kids,along with my mom,aunt and uncle) loaded up and drove to Chattanooga to spend the night at the Chattanooga Choo-Choo and ride the Polar express.


The train was just OK, I guess I expected it to be better?? But the kids had fun..we thought Harper was going to be OK when Santa got on the train because she was waving and clapping to him but the closer he got the more nervous she got!

I think the kids had the most fun playing no destroying the hotel room. The hotel had Elves come read a bedtime story..we were afraid that they would be scared of the elves but they loved it!


The next week Santa came to visit us!

Harper wasn't so sure about him..toward the end of the visit she warmed up but never really wanted him to get close to her! The rest of the month we spent getting ready for Christmas and visiting with friends and family! On Christmas Eve Harper was sick,for the first time ever she had a little fever..she was pitiful but didn't let it get her down!

Before we went to bed we had to sprinkle the reindeer food that Santa sent us in the yard!

Then we went to bed and Santa came!!!






Long blog short we had a great Christmas!!
