First Dentist Visit
Tuesday, April 28, 2009
Sunday and Monday
We got lots of cute clothes for him and Savannah even got a special gift for her! She was so proud and has talked non stop about how she's going to be a big sister soon. Here she is sporting her new big sister shirt and matching pink shorts, which she couldn't wait to wear yesterday.
So yesterday I had planned to work on thank you notes, sort through the baby clothes, and accomplish a multitude of other things . . . but God had a different plan.
That's right, a broken foot! I guess His new plan involved lots of rest and learning that a to-do list isn't so important after all. Dave had to take yet another 1/2 day today to take me to the orthopedic doctor who thinks that it's definitely broken. Because I'm soooo pregnant I didn't want x-rays and he said the treatment would be the same whether it was fractured or broken, so this is my new fashion statement for the hot summer months right before delivery! :) Thankfully it does help a lot in terms of being able to get around and the doctor said that I could drive with my left foot . . . just not long distances. Wonder if I could actually have a baby with this thing on? When it rains it pours around here.
Please continue to pray for my mom who is still in the hospital. They are planning to insert a port today at 2 and will start chemotherapy this afternoon. We all need lots of prayers over the next few weeks!!

Please Pray for My Mom!
The sermon on Sunday at church was about finding something positive to share . . . here's my positive. Every person I have talked to has been super nice, thorough, and has followed up with phone calls directly to me. I know that it is a rare thing to be able to call and leave a message for a surgical oncologist and have him call me within a few hours at home. Also, there have been several ladies who have pitched in and just taken awesome around the clock care of my mom. Gail, Mary, and Joyce thank you sooo much for being there for my mom when I can't. You are lifesavers and I love you dearly!
So, although I continue to be very scared and wonder what God has in store for our family, I do know that He is at work. I am thankful that when faced with something like this there is a Bigger and Better Hand in control.

A Special Delivery

A Little of This and That
Excuse my complaining, but when we got there a line of people were waiting, most of whom had already been through the line several times for icecream. I mean seriously, it's just outrageous when you hear parents talking about going through the line 5 times and letting their children do the same thing. Sure the sign didn't say one per person, but isn't that taking advantage of the situation? Then, when I saw the mom ahead of her daughter hiding her half eaten icecream while ordering another scoop I just about lost it. No wonder kids today have no sense of right or wrong!! Anyway, we waited our turn took our scoops and headed home.
After some tutoring and Savannah's long nap, it was dinner time. Dave came home early so he and Savannah could head off to WEE school for Daddy night!! Now I'm sitting here watching Everybody Loves Raymond and enjoying some nice peace and quiet! Definitely a way to end the day.
Savannah's gifts to Daddy. What sweet treasures!

Happy Easter!
Here are a couple of pictures from our morning. I'll spare sharing the one of us as a family since I am beyond huge! In the second picture Savannah was so excited to find her Easter basket. Dave wants to start a tradition where we hide the basket and she has to hunt for it. I have to say that I like my friend Heather's string idea better, but we settled for hiding it this year. As you can tell, I have a lot to learn about making baskets pretty. As a child mine was always stuffed to the brim, filled with grass, and of course tons of candy. Sorry Savannah, I'm working on it!

Savannah's New Dress
Savannah was so excited to get a package in the mail today! Grammy and Papa sent her an Easter basket along with this adorable pillowcase dress that Grammy made! It is Savannah's first pillowcase dress and we both love it. Her cousin Alyssa has an identical one . . . won't they be cute together?! It took me awhile to convince her that it wasn't a good idea to wear it today with the freezing cold weather we're having, but after awhile she agreed and put her long sleeve outfit back on.
Speaking of, what is up with this weather? Go away winter!!! Where are you Spring??

Home Sweet Home
I do have to say that Savannah is in a bit of a pickle trying to readjust to us being back. Last night was R.O.U.G.H. Dave ended up putting her in the bed with me when he got up around 5 this morning, which we have never had to do before. Hopefully tonight will go more smoothly! It's still always good to be home sweet home.
