Addyson Faith

Well, I just read my last blog and cannot believe how much time has passed. We had our beautiful miracle baby girl, Addyson Faith on March 9th. She weighed 6lbs. 3 oz. and is absolutely perfect. It was such an experience to have a "normal" pregnancy and a "normal" birth. My delivery was perfect and enjoyed the bonding moment that Aaron and I shared with our daughter, before anyone came in. I would not of changed one moment of that day or the days to follow.
During the pregnancy it was harder than I thought it would be. The pregnancy was going great and there were no issues arising. But, my anxiety level was unbelievable and was almost uncontrollable. But, with the assistance of my friends, family, doctor, and mentors, I made it. I want to thank my friends and family for your love, support and understanding even when I did not understand or support myself. GOD is good and has blessed us with three beautiful children. 2 girls on earth, a son in Heaven.

GOD'S lent child

God's Lent Child
I’ll lend you for a little while, a child of mine, God said
For you to love the while he lives and mourn for when he’s dead.
It may be six or seven months, or forty-two or three years
But will you, till I call him back, take care of him for me?

He’ll bring his charms to gladden you and should his stay be brief
You’ll always have his memories as a solace in your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay, since all from earth return,
But there are lessons taught below I want this child to learn.

I’ve looked this whole world over in my search for teachers true
And from the folk that crowd Life’s lane I have chosen you.
Now will you give him all your love and not think the labour vain,
Nor hate me when I come to take this lent child back again?

I fancy that I heard them say “Dear God, thy will be done.
For all the joys this child will bring the risk of grief we’ll run.
We will shelter him with tenderness, we’ll love him while we may
And for all the happiness we’ve ever known, we’ll ever grateful stay.
But should the angels call him much sooner than we’d planned
We will brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand."

27 weeks and 2 days.............

Well, we still do not know if we are having another baby girl or baby boy. But, we think we have names. We are not 100% but, we still have a little bit more time.

Addysyn Hope for a girl- Hope for that is what I have for this pregnancy and baby. This is a work in progress but, I'm really trying.

We also like Addisyn Faith.

Taryn Michael for a boy-T for me, Aryn for Serenity and Aaron and Michael after his big brother, Sterling.

When we started this name journey we really wanted an S name that was 8 letters. But, have yet to find a name that fits.

Today I had my weekly shot of 17p, my glucose test, a finger prick, and a blood draw. Everything is going great!

As I sit here typing my blog, Serenity has her hand on my belly trying to feel the baby move. This soothes my soul. Actually, anything Serenity does makes me so happy.

I pray for a healthy baby that I can take home.
