Oh So Thankful!

Life has changed SO much in the past year. My life has TOTALLY changed. I have this new life that I am responsible for. To love and nurture. That is such a huge responsibility! I am so thankful that the Lord has chosen to bless me in this way!
I am thankful for an amazing family. The one I was born into as well as the one I married into. I am thankful that I have good health. I am thanful that I have a job. The thing that I a most thankful for but many times take for granted is my salvation. I am so thankful for such a loving God that cares for us and forgives us!

I am so thankful for my sweet sweet husband! He is such a wonderful husband and father! I am so thankful for the sweet sweet gift the Lord has given us---our sweet baby boy! I am thankful that he is such a good baby, that he is healthy, and that he sleeps through the night!

"Give thanks to the Lord for He is good!" Psalm 107:1

Life since Feb. 4....WOW!!

Was Feb. really the last time I wrote an entry? Uh....my bad :( WOW how life has changed! Baby Jackson was born on June 27th. 7lbs 14oz! Since then my world has been turned upside down! I never knew how much I could love someone! He is such a sweet baby! Always happy!! I couldn't have asked for more! God is so good!!!

I was able to enjoy 10 weeks with my sweet baby before I had to go back to work. It was and is still so hard leaving him every morning. I want to be here with him every second. Chris' mom keeps him during the day and for that I am very thankful...But I just wish it was me staying with him. Not too much longer and I'll be able to!

Jackson is now 4 1/2 months old and changing every day. He laughs and smiles all the time and just rolled over for the first time last week. Lately his new thing is reaching for my cup if I am drinking something. If it's water I give him a little sip and those little gums just chomp on the rim of my cup.

Well, that's all for now...but I promise to be a better blogger...no really...I'm gonna try a lot harder this time! I leave you with some pics of my sweet boy!

DONE!!!

Dont get me wrong...I LOVE LOVE LOVE my basketball girls! However...I am EXHAUSTED!!! I have not really had a break since October...and that was only a 3 day break between softball and basketball. So, with this pregnancy and being so busy I am so tired and ready for a break.

I've been thinking about baby Jackson a lot! Wondering what he's going to look like, if he will be smart, if he will be athletic, and so many others. I have had dreams about him lately and I cant wait for the day that I will hold him in my arms and kiss those cheeks! Now that I have some time on my hands I can start planning for how to decorate his room along with getting the whole house organized. Sometimes I get a little overwhelmed when I think about it all! My mom is supposed to come back in a few weeks to help me paint and decorate. Chris is overwhelmed with the prices of baby furniture lol. But we will be purchasing some VERY soon! But he is getting excited to decorate too!

Now that we know we are having a boy, it makes things even more exciting and real for us! We cant wait!!
