14 week check up

Friday we went for Garrison's well baby visit, he is 14 weeks old! He weighs 13.2 lbs and is 25 3/4 inches long. His weight is in the 50th percentile and his length is in the 90th percentile. The Dr. said well he looks just like his daddy....like I haven't heard that a hundred times already!! :) Guess that just means we get to try for another one who can look like a mama...not anytime soon of course! I do have one friend, Jordan, who keeps saying he looks like me....she must be buttering me up! Love ya girl! Poor baby got two shots and he was not a happy camper on Saturday!

So funny story about adam....Adam loves being home with garrison during the day. He really enjoys his alone time with Garrison. However, from time to time I have to remind adam certain tasks of parenthood. For example, Adam picks me up from work and we are on our way to the Dr. We are talking and what not and so I ask Adam what he dressed G in for the Dr. He says oh I didn't have time to change him. Which means for our 11am Dr. appt, our son, is still in his footed pajamas!! I say it's ok, I think I have an outfit in the diaper bag, I will just change him real quick when we get there. I look at Adam who has this silly grin on his face. He says I forgot the diaper bag. OMGosh I could just die. We are taking our son to the Dr in his pj's and with no diaper bag. The Dr will take the diaper off when they weigh him, so now we have to put the same diaper back on! All I could do was pray he didn't have a dirty diaper. I really debated just waiting in the car and not going in with them!! HAHA...Adam goes "So I guess this will be on your blog, huh?" Well of course!!

just plain sad


Today we laid my Papa to rest. He passed away sunday morning, 10-5-2008. I'm sad, my heart just hurts. How do you say goodbye to someone who has been in your life since you were born. Someone who you cherish, someone who was perfect. I was with papa saturday afternoon until about 930pm at the hospital. I knew he was ready to go, he was in pain and suffering. I actually prayed for the Lord just to take him and end his pain. He answered my prayer and my papa went quietly in his sleep with my dad by his side. Im sad that Garrison will never know how wonderful he was. Every picture we looked through of us growing up my papa had two or three or four grandkids piled in his lap...reading us a book...feeding a babydoll....or just loving us. I guess Bryan has our papa now, but I wasn't finished with him here. I know that is selfish but I miss my papa. I miss you papa and until we meet again my heart will ache
