Nicholas's first surgery

April 21, 2009

Nicholas was taken back to surgery around 9:00 am for his circumcision. Nicholas and I walked thru the Bunny Tunnel and he got a toy. He decided on a baseball and glove. He went into the nurse's arms and did not even cry. Which made it easier for mom. He woke up in recovery crying wanting his momma. I held him and rocked him to comfort him. He was very sleepy but saw his juice on the bed and pointed and wanted it. He is one AMAZING boy. He had both of his grandmothers there to love on him also. I am so proud of Nicholas.

We were home around 11:00 am. He is a trooper. I told my friend , Dotty, that our boys have been thru alot for being so young and they keep that smile and good spirit. I am so thankful for him. God knew what he was doin chosing him for us and allowing him to grow in our hearts until he came home.

GOD IS AWESOME!!!!!

As of today, Nicholas is playing, eating, and being a typical 2 year old. I never would have thought he had surgery less than 24 hours ago.

thank you for all prayers.

Nicholas's first haircut

Today was the day Nicholas got his hair trimmed. He looks like a little man. He did pretty good. He was more curious than anything.

Thank you Jennifer.

We are so happy to have him home and GoD continues to bless us each and every day. Life is a gift and Nicholas is Heaven sent.

My first Easter egg hunt

We went with our family and friends to Cedar Hill Farms for Easter pics, petting zoo, egg hunt, seeing the Easter bunny, and pony rides. He had the time of his life. He loved the animals as long as they were behind the fence. Therefore, no pony rides.

We stood in line to get on the tractor to go find eggs in the big field. He loved the ride and then when we stopped and he saw the eggs he was gone. Nicholas, Granna, and Ninnie ran and grabbed a bucket full. I cried to stand there and watch before my eyes what I dreamed of for so long. He is one AMAZING child. He had so much fun. Those big brown eyes started to get heavy so we were not down the gravel road at the farm and he was out.

Nicholas is OURS and we owe GOD for the gift of Nicholas's life . Easter is a holiday that makes me stop and think how things are are ALL possible with GOD. GOD had Nicholas growing in our hearts before Chris and I even knew what he planned for us. GOD is awesome.

Happy Easter to Jesus and all his people. We love you all : )

My first trip to see Dr. Rather to have my teeth cleaned and counted.

April 2, 2009

Here is a fearless little boy in the dental chair having a good ole time. Mrs. Rachel counted his teeth and he loved the suction straw and spray gun. Nicholas had a great visit and all his toofies are white and pearlie. He had fun and strutted himself up and down the halls. Thank GOD I used to work for Doc so we did not get kicked out. Nicholas loved playing with Dr. Rather. Well you know he is a kid himself LOL. I love and miss that office and it made me feel really good to have them there to check Nicholas's teeth and make his first visit memorable for him and me.

Nicholas is such a trooper in just about anything and everything he does. He is such a blessing. : )
