Bryson's nine month Dr. visit.

Bryson had his 9 month check up today. For the record, He weighed in at 22lbs. and 11ozs. (77%) His length is 29 1/2" (82%) and his head was 18 and 3/4" (95%) He only had to get 1 shot today but this time had to have his finger pricked to check for hemoglobin. He didn't cry when they stuck his finger or when he got his shot. He was very fascinated with the bandaid the nurse put on his finger though. He continues to take 5 or 6 steps here and there but has not mastered walking yet. He tries to go too fast instead of getting his balance and taking his time. Baby food is history now. We've moved on to all people food. And of course he still drinks his bottle. The only word in his vocabulary rignt now is Da da da da da da!! He says it to everyone and everything. I'm looking forward to hearing the ma ma ma ma. He does look at me when he's asked where is mommy. So at least he knows that's my name. Just doesn't know how to say it. It's hard to believe that in just a couple of months he will be a year old! How time flies!
Ready to go see Dr. Chea

Thanksgiving at Dollywood

We had a great time celebrating Thanksgiving in the Smokey Mountains! Hopefully good memories our children will cherish when they are grown. We managed to pull off cooking dinner in about a 4x5 foot space called the kitchen! It all turned out and everything was delicious! The kids shot some hoops and Bryson had a good ol' time just running around and picking up leaves while we waited for the Turkey to get done. Later that evening after Bryson was in bed we played a game of Cranium. The front desk had games that you could check out. Definitely not a game I would care to play again! The day after Thanksgiving we headed over to Dollywood. The weather was gorgeous and could not have been more perfect. Bryson was in awe at all the lights when it started to get dark. I think the first time ever he has actually sat in his stroller for a whole day without fussing to get out. There was lots to look at and it kept him busy thank goodness. After that we headed back to our condo to e...

Trisomy 13 - Dignity and Grace in Life and Death

On September 14, 2001 Andrew and I found out we were expecting our 3rd baby. We had done this twice before and I was not that concerned or anxious to get to the Dr. right away. We were very excited even though we had not actually "tried" to conceive. We had also decided we would keep it a secret as long as possible! :) Love to keep a good secret! On October 31st we had our first ultrasound and discovered that our baby had markers for a chromosomal disorder as well as tachycardia. Devastated at hearing this we shed lots of tears and I experienced a lot of worry, anger, and fear at what lied ahead of us. I prayed many times that if the Lord was going to give us a baby that would not live that He would just go ahead and take it from us right then. On November 23rd, I began spotting and cramping but since it was Thanksgiving weekend we waited til the following Monday to go to the Dr. where we found out that there was no heart beat and our baby was resting safely in the arms of Je...
