Audrey

Tonight I came across a blog. A blog of a woman who also had a daughter named Audrey. This woman wrote about her journey in her pregnancy and losing her child. She showed such strength, grace and faith. Her words were powerful and her story moving.

After I finished reading I snuck into my Audrey's room. I took her out of her crib. I cuddled her close to my heart. I shed a tear or two and held back a few more.

I pray for those who have to go threw losing a child. My heart breaks for you. I will never know the right words. No one can never know unless they've been in your shoes. I pray I won't have to experience that and won't ever have to be in those shoes. I pray if I do that my great God would be able to use me like he used this woman, mostly I pray that I'll never have to though.

I'm going to take a few breaths. Look down and count the blessings that are right in my arms.

Oh Audrey, you are a blessing. In these past five months you have blessed me. In my womb you blessed me. I hope that I will be able to deserve this blessing that motherhood and being your mom is.

Little Miss Tooth Girl

A tooth peeked out
Brent called me to tell me
I felt
I looked
I smiled
She laughed
I cringed
(my poor...parts..)
Then..
Frown
She's growing up
Soon no more toothless gummy grandma baby
For now I'll just relish in the now cherish these moments before they go to fast.





Look at those lashes, what a doll!!!

Cradle Cap

I found some 'cradle cap' on Audrey. It's basically the nastiest kind of dandruff ever. You couldn't really tell because she has so much hair and it doesn't really flake it just sticks to the scalp. So this is a photo collection of removing it.

-found it
-washed it
-combed it
-olive oiled it
-baking soda'd it
-washed it
ALL GONE
Wahoo









Here she is all 'olive oil'y







Washed it out and still greasy.
(my pics of the baking soda are on my camera so I guess what I'm saying is I'm to lazy to post that one)







It's all gone and she's back to scooting around, getting into stuff and giggling...

For cloths...and babies...
Found this on a label on Audrey's shirt...

Stinker

She found the monitor





You see that arm and face. That arm is grabbing that open mouth is anticipating. Miss Audrey has found it and loves it. We do not. We want this monitor to last for all our chicken nuggets. Silly girl.
