Baby Ramblings

Tummy time on the Boppy
I love that little mouth

Henry stayed with his Daddy for a bit today while I went for a follow up appt at the doctor and to do some shopping. Henry had to sit through a conference call with his Daddy and decided to poo poo his diaper while Daddy was on the call. I would have loved to been a fly on the wall to see how Randall changed it and stayed on the phone without interruption. Henry hates to have a dirty diaper and also hates to have it changed...and usually screams the best he can through the whole event. Randall is a good daddy, so I am sure he did fine.

Anyway, It was the first time in 23 days that I had driven or been inside anywhere besides my own home, Randall's truck, the doctor's office or the hospital. Much needed time out today, but I must say this little mama is tired from the outing. I am still recouping from birthing this sweet thing you see posted above this text. The doctor weighed me today and I have already lost 25 pounds. I have about 25 more to loose for my own sake though. My blood pressure is still acting silly so we are watching it and I am a bit anemic from the blood loss at the hospital. Henry's mama is coming around...it is just slow going. The nurses all crowded around my digital camera today to look at pictures of him since I refused to bring him out in public this early. They made me promise to bring him in at my next appt in early Jan...I agreed.

This week Daddy has to work more than he did last week. He has fired some people and is hiring some new people. It is quite tedious for him but we are glad he works from home and can be in the house working instead off somewhere else. Nana and her sister are coming tomorrow to see him for a few hours while I go back out to finish my Christmas errands. We hope to meet his 4 sweet cousins next week and see Juju again. Marmie is coming for Christmas week and called a bit earlier to say she bought a nice red fleece robe to match Henry's Christmas pajamas. We got a beautiful, massive white poinsettia with baby blue accents from our Byhalia neighbors today. I sure miss them. Would you know none of our neighbors here in J'Town have been over since Henry arrived. I sent Randall over to their mailboxes with homemade bread, our annual card/letter and coffee the day before I had Henry. Funny how that works. Makes us laugh more than anything. Well, my good buddy Melissa is bringing us dinner in a bit, I best go get Henry ready for all her kisses!

That baby is so cute! Your energy will come back. It takes awhile for all of the swelling to go down too. You think it would be immediate, but it isn't. Your blood pressure will come down. Mine eventually did.

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

  Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time.   I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud!   I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good party has to have go

Meet Shaun

This is my single co-worker and church friend, Shaun. He and I have so much fun bantering back and forth. He takes what I dish out and scoops it right back up and hands it back to me. He is a keeper for that and many other reasons, which I will share on this post. He was kind enough to allow me to highlight him on Kelly’s Korner http://www.kellyskornerblog.com/ for her singles link up. His last words to me about this were, “ This better not be an embarrassment! ” I trust I will do my best to make it not be, but I make no promises! The first thing you need to know about Shaun is that he loves Jesus and the Boston Red Sox . He asked Jesus into his heart at age 8 and is still seeking and serving him today at age 26. Shaun graduated from Arkansas State University with a degree in digital media and design. When he is not busy creating masterpieces for our customers he is hiking, watching the Red Sox , playing basketball, horsing around at the lake or beach, and watching movies. He is fu

He's home!

I know you didn't know my dear husband was out of town. I decided not to post such information. I get scared enough as it is, I sure didn't want to advertise the information. Yes, you read correctly, I get scared. Before we had children, and well, even after Samuel was born, I would stay with a friend of mine when Stephen was gone overnight. When we moved from that town I didn't have anyone to stay with, so I would just sit up and watch tv all night. Fear kept me awake. Isn't that silly? Well, it didn't seem so at the time, but when I look back on it now it seems silly. That is until I have to be without a manly-man in the house. I'm telling you what, I hear every noise, sound, creak, croak. It's awful. Sunday night (the first night) while I was lying AWAKE in my bed I was praying and telling God that I knew He didn't want me to be fearful and that I knew there were many verses in the Bible that told of His being with me at nighttime . I just couldn'
