Just incase you haven't seen our celebrity in ads. That's him (the little guy in the middle,lol) with his Nurse Tara.Master Brody is fighting either a cold or allergies. He is very congested and not his happy self, although he still tries to be. It's 4:45am and I got up about 3:00 to check him and now can't go back to sleep. Tomorrow my wagon will be draggin, oh well.
Other than being stuffy he is good. He loves his jumpy seat, oh my, you should see how he jumps and laughs, especially when Daddy is singing to him. He is getting along just fine with his heart, no more episodes since the doc adjusted his med dosage. When on his belly he is really lifting himself high, it probably won't be long before he is crawling. He is doing everything perfectly for his corrected age.
If you remember I told you I would blog more about Our Favorite Things/ Importance Challenge. It may come in parts because I think sleep is finally finding me.....and I have a collage of thoughts.
The reason I decided to do this little exercise is because for a couple of days in a row it was presented to me so I took it as a God Prompt to talk to you. Anyone that has been in any touchy/feely class with me at church may remember that if we are ever to "confess" our biggest fear mine is always the same, "having to live without Brent". I don't EVER want to do that, ever. Brent knows this and he always prays that he outlives me (sounds weird if you didn't know my fear). Someone that was visiting us recently said that while it was touch and go for our little man they prayed for God to not take him home because I wouldn't survive it. Hmmm... Obviously, not a blog reader, you all know my faith. God will always meet me at tomorrow and I can survive anything with Christ, so that comment for me was hurtful to my strength of faith. But the deeper Brody gets ingrained into us and our life, neither Brent nor I can imagine life without him. Even in the NICU he was ours and we wanted nothing more than to protect, love, and nurture him. In Brent's words we were "hard-wired" to want to do these things for Brody.
Then I read a story in Reader's Digest about a woman that lost her son in 9-11..........til next time.
Oh and remind me to tell you all about our March for Dimes walk too. Good night cyber-family.

I am so glad Brody's heart is doing better. Your post also really challenges me to look deeply into my heart at what I value most. Thanks for the faith lessons.
