Today we are awaiting the big ice storm that is expected to hit during the late afternoon hours.
This has been a crazy week. It started when we noticed Hunter had a red rash all over his chest and back and then a fever. After a trip to the walk in clinic, our fears were confirmed and we learned he has strep-throat. A day later Connor started vomiting and we were pretty sure he was getting it too, so he stared on the antibiotics too. It was amazing how after each child had his first two doses, they were back to themselves as far as having energy goes. I was kind of enjoying the quite subdued children. However, I would much rather them feel good than be sick (especially throwing up). I am just praying that Grant, Chad and I don't get this. We are also thankful they have it now and it should be gone by Christmas.
Did I mention yet how thankful I am that my baby is so easy going. I would take a million little Grants. He goes to sleep well, he eats good, he goes with the flow, (which you need when you have two big brothers) and he is always so happy. He is getting four molars right now, his Dr. says, but you wouldn't know it except he wakes up with his shirt soaking from all the drool!
I am handling the wait for our baby girl pretty well. If anyone has name ideas let us know. We may not use them but we are still not sure what her name is going to be. You would think that I would have a girl's name all picked out after three boys but all the names I have had in the past are already used. Anyway, I am super excited and I enjoy reading all the stories on the Holt BB's of the other families who have their referrals and those who are meeting their children. It makes me tear up to know that hopefully by this time next year that she will be with us!!
In case I don't post again before Christmas, I hope everyone has a great day. Let us all remember that Christ loved us so much that he gave us his son that day so many years ago. It is so amazing to know that the little baby born would be our savior. What a gift!
