Pictures

I decided I should post and come out of hiding. It has been an interesting first few weeks. Uriah has been a joy and a delight. The rest of the family has had a very bad case of the flu. Which has been difficult on all of us. Daddy was a huge help and we could have never made it through this with out him. This week we will be getting rid of junk and trying to get the house ready to put on the market. So I am sharing a few pictures of these last two weeks. This first one is when Uriah was just a few days old.

Daddy took the kids to the children's museum one day and this is how my daughter looked when she came home. She created this master piece all by herself.

The boys. Never thought I would be saying this but it sure sounds good.

Uriah Beau

Here is our little Uriah Beau. I figured I should get some pictures up but wanted to enjoy those first few days doing nothing but holding my son, so that's what I did. It has been great how much everyone has helped out and let mommy rest and enjoy Uriah. I have enjoyed these last few days laying in bed and taking in this newest addition. Just last night after his 4:00a.m. feeding I caught myself just staring at him when I should have been sleeping. He is a very mellow baby and very cuddly. Here are two pictures. More to come after a while. For now I am going to enjoy some more time resting and getting to know this little one. Thank you everyone for all your prayers along the way they have been felt and cherished.

A Blessed Event...

This is a friend posting for Susan since she's awful tired after being awake all night...

HAVING A BABY!

Uriah Beau joined their family after a tiring night of labor. He made his appearance to his family at 8:05am this morning, weighing in at 9 pounds even, 20.5 inches long.

Susan is doing well, tired when I talked with her this morning, but very happy it's over and she has a beautiful baby boy to hold.

She will post pictures when she is up and about, but midwife's orders first - one week of good rest.

Still Waiting

We are still waiting for our little bundle to arrive. I have never gone this far over so I am beginning to get impatient. I am now 4 days over but who's counting.

I saw the midwife yesterday and everything looks great. Now we just wait for the big day. So everyone who is praying for us thank you and keep praying.
Hopefully I will be posting soon about our newest member.

Due Date

Tomorrow is officially my due date, but we all know that babies very rarely come on their due dates. Once tomorrow is over I will be overdue and then I figure baby has to come. I have gone a couple of days before my due date and last time 2 days late so i figure this little one should be making an appearance pretty soon. I hope. I am beginning to get a little bit anxious. I just want to hold this little one so bad.

So for now we will wait some more and when there is any news I will let you all know.

Just Waiting

O.k. I have 3 days until my due date and I just feel like this baby is never going to come. I really think I will be going over which is o.k. but I really, really, really want to have this baby. Just saw the midwife yesterday and everything looks great. my next appt is scheduled for next Tuesday, I am praying I see her before then. I know the day will come when I will be holding this child in my arms, but today it feels like it won't be for an eternity. I know that is not true, just beginning to have a hard time waiting.
So fro now I will enjoy these last days or weeks of being pregnant and rejoice when i finally do go into labor.

Feeling Blessed

I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful church family. Yesterday was fellowship Sunday so me and a couple of the girls went to church. Reaghan had a migrane and daddy knew I really wanted to go to church one more time before baby comes. I was so blessed yesterday by the fellowship and encouragement form everyone. You know how it feels those last couple of days where you are irritable, tired , worn out, and you just want to have the baby. Well yesterday I didn't feel that way adn it felt so good. This is the church we were at when we lost our baby 16 months ago and they were so good to us.
Just this morning a young lady called me and wanted to tell me she was thinking about me and praying for me. She was a very special person to me when I lost Elias. It just feels good to know that they love you and are there with you during the ups and downs. I feel the prayers of this church body and the love of Christ through them. Thsi is what God wants from all of us. Such a beautiful example of who Christ is. I just pray that I too can be an example of Christ to someone.

Not even sure if I am making sense in this post I just feel very blessed today by the prayers and fellowship of all these families. Thank you Milliard you have truly blessed our family.
