Good Day for a Cry

Oh my, what a day we had today. We had to take this sweet little guy into the doctor for his circumcision today. I think it was much harder on me then it was on him. Well...at least he will not remember it, but I will. I couldn't watch and I just about started to bawl! Hubby was able to hold his hand and encourage him to suck on a pacifier to try and help. Plus..it didn't help when he wouldn't stop bleeding. So, Mama took it pretty hard today. Then I had trouble with my oldest son. He has a terrible habit of waiting until he is about ready to "explode" to tell me that he has to go to the bathroom. Well, I don't move as fast as I did a week and a half ago and we ended up having two messes to clean up. I can't believe my little guy is already 8 days old. It is almost scary how fast time goes by. I hold this little guy as much as I can. My oldest will be 4 this summer and it doesn't seem possible! Well, as usual I need to take care of my lovely children and feed my little one. I also need more rest as I went up and down the stairs too many times today! (Oh yeah...today was my first day outside since the little guy was born! Isn't that crazy....but I don't feel like I have been "couped" up or anything.) Blessings to all! =)

Oh..its so hard. I remember when they took my son down to have his done. I cried until he returned....sleeping.. He did great and was resting peacefully when they brought him back to my room about 10 minutes after they took him. He did so good and healed wonderfully.. Its hard anytime for us mothers... I cried last month when they had to do the emergency surgeory on my 3 year old cause they made me leave and she was screaming I want my mommy.. I guess it thats one of the harder parts of parenting..
ANYWAYS he is looking great.. Hope you feel better soon, I know it takes awhile to recover. Hugs and let me know if ya need anything..

Oh Melanie... It will be OK. Enjoy snuggling him close.

By the way, since Mrs. M used a "real" name in your family in her comments, I think that we need to use her real name here. =)

Show and Tell Friday (7/20)

Image
Welcome to "Show and Tell Friday!" Do you have a something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, an antique find. Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! This week I wanted to Show off Big T's latest adventure. Last week he attended Bible school and Grandma S' church. The theme was Avalanche Rance and I know there are a LOT of churches doing this one. It fit him perfectly since he has a love of horses. So I just wanted to share a few pictures from the last night of Bible school....or as Big T calls it, Cowboy School . ;) Here is a picture of Little E and Grandpa S waiting for the program to start. The next two pictures are of the children standing up front. Not good pictures, but you can tell they all have the "deer in the...

Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! Yesterday I was in our side yard raking up a pile of leaves for Sweet E to play in and I saw something out of the corner of my eye. It was bright red. I looked down and saw three bright red objects in the grass. I picked them up....I have never seen these before. We are thinking they may possibly be wild strawberries, but are unsure since we have no prior experience with them. (really have no clue as to what they actually are.) And...what in the world would they be doing in the yard at the end of October! I just wanted to share pictures to see what everyone else thought. I thought it wa...

Illness and Ouchies

Image
Well...we have had an interesting start to our week. In the early hours of Monday morning Sweet E woke up 2 different times and had thrown up in her bed. She seemed perfectly fine and I took her to a local store. We were inside for maybe 2 minutes and she threw up again. So....I got her home and let her take a nice LONG bath. Then we didn't have any problems the rest of the day. Today....she didn't seem quiet like herself, but no big deal. Them about 7:45 this evening she threw up again. But now she is running around like it never happened. Both boys appear to be fine. Now...here is were the Ouchies come in. On Monday afternoon when Sweet E was sleeping, Little E fell onto something. It took the top layer of the skin on his lip off and cut his gums. I still don't know what happened exactly. He had a pretty big lip for the rest of the day. The swelling is barely even noticeable today. So..how is everyone else's week going? ;)
