1 Month

1 month....my babes. They are so precious! I can't believe how fast they are growing. The picture below is Oliver. I think they look so much a like in these photos. I had someone tell me the other day that you can definately tell they are brothers and that sometimes they look so much like each other and then other times, they look different. Oliver looks a lot like me when I was a baby and Jamie looks like me when I was a toddler. My mom couldn't get over how much Jamie looked like me....I think it is crazy how much your kids can look like you, or a relative! Anyway..... This picture is of Jamie and it is one of my all time favorites! Even now when I take pictures of him, I love getting the ones when he is just looking at me, in his own world. Right now, my babes are sleeping. Jamie is sound alseep, tucked in his bed and Oliver is sound asleep in bed next to me :)

My Loves

Ok, so for the past few days I have been trying to do a post. I have trying to put pictures up of the boys, at the same ages, and it was just not working out! So, I will just do one month at time. Since I don't have Oliver's 6 month pictures on the computer yet, I will start with newborn pics.





This picture is of James.





This handsome little man is Oliver. I'm going to get caught up with these pictures and then do it once a month. It is fun looking back at pictures of the first baby. Their births were completely different! After all the issues with Jamie's birth, I am so glad that Oliver's was different. Isn't it crazy that no matter how much pain you are in, you will do it again?!

A Pain in my...

You know what is a real pain in the butt.....having a messed up tailbone. I hurt it during delivery with Oliver. It was feeling better and then about a month ago, it started hurting even worse than before. I had an appointment with my doctor the other day and I brought it up. It had gotten to the point that it hurts to sit, lay down, just about do anything. She ordered an X-Ray to see what was going on because it should have been better by now. Well, I didn't break it, but it is bent! Hahaha...bent! I just have to laugh saying that. The thing that really stinks is that there is nothing that can be done. I guess the pain should start to go away but we will see. My doc did say that having another baby would probably fix the problem. Yeah, I will get right on that! Actually, they shouldn't tempt me! Oh well, I'm hoping it will start to feel better soon.

I finally got a call from the place that we can take Jamie to see a child psychologist. This place is local, only about 20 minutes away. I called them back last week and I'm hoping to hear from them tomorrow. I'm anxious to get things going.

So, this is kind of a random post! It is the first day of spring here in lovely Michigan and it has been raining most of the day. There is thunder and lightening now. I don't really even care about the rain though. It isn't snow! I am definitely ready for spring and warm weather. I can't wait to get outside with the boys. We all have the spring sniffles here also. We all have allergies and then the sinuses' start to act up. Luckily, knock on wood, this is as sick as we have been this winter. We all had some allergy issues earlier in the season. Other than some runny noses, things are going well here. I will make sure to do a post tomorrow with some pictures, but now, I'm going to bed :)

I'm not superman

This title has a few different meanings. There is a song that we sing in Fireflies (at church), called Superman. There has been one part that I keep singing to myself, and have been for the past couple of weeks...."I'm not superman, Lord you made me the kid that I am. Thank you Lord for who I am, I don't have to be a superman." I have been learning that I cannot be superman, I cannot fix everything and I don't have to fix everything. I let something go this week that I didn't think I could do. It scared me, but then I said to the man upstairs that I am letting go. He obviously has his own plans and I have to trust that He knows best. I kept telling myself that all day and I felt a weight lifted off. I don't know how things are going to turn out, but I know He is there to keep us safe and He knows what He is doing. That is a hard thing to do. Superman is also becoming Jamie's new nickname. Like I said last time, he did something that really scared us the other week, and well, Superman is a fitting nickname. Jamie and I had an appointment with his doctor today to talk about his possible ADHD. By the way she was talking, I think she believes he has it, but since he is only 2, he won't get diagnosed yet. She is looking for a child psychologist (that is covered by our insurance) and we will set up a "play date." This person will watch Jamie play and really get a feel for what he is doing. They will also look to see if his intelligence is higher than his social age. But, when I was researching ADHD, these kids have higher IQs. Hopefully we can do this soon and get some answers and get an action plan. Anyway, this big lesson learned here this week is that I am not superman.
