So I haven't posted in over a year! I can't wait to update this thing!
After the last post, I got pregnant! I conceived my son on February 27, 2008 and he was born six weeks early on October 10, 2008 due to a sudden onset of pre-eclampsia. It's been a rollercoaster, I can tell you that. I wish I had the energy to document it all here and now, but it's late and I don't.
So DS now has two teeth and can do a host of little tricks like slap his leg (hillbilly style), grab his feet, spit, laugh, squeel, and generally make a bad day good. After his 12 day stay in the NICU, I had a hard time recovering. I suffered from mastitis and post partum depression, but am finally doing better since going back to work.
He's had battles with reflux and one loooong ear infection that resulted in tubes on April 1, 2009. Since then his ears have been great. He also had a brief stomach virus in February that JB, Mom, and Dad managed to all catch within days of each other. I was terrified! And oh yes...the eczema. But I am so grateful to God in all this. My son is beautiful and I wouldn't trade him. I struggle with my fears, anxieties, and inadequacies, but God in His love and grace always sees me through.
I know the apostle Paul said he was the chief of sinners, but I don't know how since I exist. I just have no hope without Jesus Christ. Were in not for Him...I don't know. It wouldn't be good. He has pulled me through all these trials that I've faced and continue to face and I give Him the glory. He truly loves me, and for what I do not know. I am just glad He does.
