ROXIE

Roxie is now 12wks old! She is growing so fast! She is so fun to watch, she is a little goofy, though. Peyton says she is a special needs dog!lol She barks at the water in her pool and chases her own tail, but she's just a typical puppy! We love her! I love that i can walk out the back door thirty times and everytime she acts just as excited to see me!

Orlando

We spent the last week in Orlando with our friends the Vinson's and the Wilson's.  We left wednesday morning and came back monday.  While in orlando we went to Kennedy Space Center and saw the space shuttle Discovery, which is why we took the trip, it was supposed to take off thursday but got moved to april 5th.  After that we went to Cocoa Beach.  It was a cold windy day and the water was freezing, but we had to put our feet in and take pictures.  We ended the day by eating at a resturant called Dixie Crossroads.  They served cornfritters with powdered sugar on top as appetizers, sounds crazy but it was really good.  And the most amazing shrimp any of us have ever had! It was great!  Friday we went to Universal Studios.  We road a lot of rides and saw some cool 3D shows.  We were pretty worn out that night! Saturday we went to Sea World, where Eli got to swim with a balooga whale.  He loved it!  We were supposed to fly home Sunday, but after loading the plane and pulling away from the gate, the engine wouldnt start.  After an hour or two they finally canceled the flight and put us up in a hotel.  We finally made it home Monday at 11.  It was a great trip with great friends! Now back to the real world for me.  I go back to work for the first time tomorrow. Pray everything goes well!

Roxie and my bday week

Well we have a new addition to our home, or should i say yard, her name is Roxie.  She is a precious blonde golden retriever that is 7wks old.  This past week was my birthday, so we went to Fayettville and watched the hogs play.  Then on sunday we went to Branson for a few days.  We shopped, ate, went to see Spirit of the Dance, and watched a movie.  It was nice to get away, especially because this week was our due date for Grant.  We are still having a hard time, it is a day to day struggle.  We went to a high risk doctor and he did a lot of blood work, we should get results soon.  I went for my 7week check up today with Dr Citty and he said everything looked good.  He is the nicest doctor ever! He was awesome during this whole experience and he is still being great.  Offered to call us if anyone comes in and wants to give their baby up for adoption.  We are checking into the process, but we will probably adopt soon.  Just pray for us and that we make it through this.  I am keeping busy by painting the kitchen and living room.  I needed something to keep my mind busy.  I go back to work next week, monday for my sister at dr.thomas office and svi wed and friday.  Ready to get back to a normal schedule.  I am going to work prn for now and just see how things go.  Back to my puppy.  We went home through little rock and got my puppy Roxie! She is so cute and sweet.  She keeps us company and she is so fun to watch.  She plays well by herself, but cries if she knows we are in the house and not paying attention to her.  She has learned to sit and fetch.  She hasn't gotten the entire fetch concept down, she will go get the toy but not always bring it back.  She likes the game keep away best.lol  Anyway, we still need lots of prayer and are so thankful for all the family and friends that we have in our lives! WE are very BLESSED!! 

Our Boys!

Well most of you probably know by now, but last Tuesday I had to go to the doctor because I hadnt felt Grant moving all day and I was in a lot of pain.  The doctor couldnt find a heart beat and did a emergency csection.  I got to come home Friday morning and we had a graveside service for Grant Saturday morning.  This has been the second worse time in our lives.  In April 2008 we had a miscarriage at 18weeks.  It also was a boy Carter Landon Harvey.  The boys were buried together and any gifts we recieved for Grant and were able to take back, we will use the money to buy a new stone with both names on it. We have recieved many sweet cards, messages on facebook, flowers, food, and many other signs of peoples love and support for us.  We never dreamed this would happen again, especially since we had made it to 35weeks.  We were so excited and all we have done for the past 8 months is plan for Grant to be here.  We will get thru this but we will never get over the hurt and pain we feel in our hearts right now.  Please pray for us, that God will help us to get thru this and that someday we will have a baby to give all this love we have to.  We did get to hold Grant and he was precious! Beautiful little baby! He was 4lbs and 17inches long, he had his daddy's dimple in his chin and my eyes.  They did some test on him, they think it is something genetic that when we make a baby the chromosomes arent right, idk.  We will get the results sometime this week.  We are going to face many had days ahead, days that we had planned to have Grant with us and times we will wish he was here to hold and love.  We have pictures of him, they help me a lot because i can look at him whenever i want! We loved him with all our hearts and always will.  I guess Carter needed a friend in heaven, and he got his brother! One day we will be with them both!  Thanks to everyone that has prayed for us and done anything for us.  We just need time and rest.  I am recovering fine from the csection, a little sore but im ok.  We go to doctor Thursday.  The worse part has been my milk coming in, we are tring to get it to stop but its been pretty painful.  Just keep us in your prayers!

Snow Dayz and Fellowship Bible Shower

Well Wednesday we will be 35 weeks! Wow! We went to the dr thursday, and he said everything looks good.  He also told us he will be in Branson the week we are due! But he said he would come back for us, YEAH RT!!  Anyway, he has 3 partners and Grant could come early or late, so I'm not going to worry about it right now.  I am offically off work now, i am already bored! With the snow friday and saturday, i was stuck in the house for 2 whole days! But Sunday was our Fellowship Bible Church shower, so i got to get out of the house!!  We got a lot of nice stuff and ate some very yummy cake! We go back to the dr next wednesday, for our 36wk check up.  This Sunday we have a shower at Des Arc Methodist Church, and afterwards we are eating ribs for the super bowl! Cant wait!!  I dont think Grant has had ribs yet!lol I am ready to have all the showers over so i can organize his room! After every shower i find a place to put everything and then we have another shower and i reorganize it all over again!  I am ready to have everything in place and just be waiting on him to get here!  Hope everyone has a great week! Pray for us as we get closer to the arrival of this wonderful baby and that i dont go crazy and reorganize the entire house!!LOL

Last week of work, baby shower, a monkey,and 6weeks to go!!

So this week is my last week of work! I am so happy that i wont have to make the long drive to Little Rock everyday.  I know Grant will be happy because i wont get up at 5am, sit with him all squished in the car for hour there and hour home, be on my swollen ankles and feet all day, and wearing that crazy back brace peyton got me so my back doesnt kill me.  Grant goes crazy everytime i wear it, i think it is because its tight and i can feel him moving more, but i think he is mad at me for squishing him.lol We are going to rest and take it easy for the next month.  I know i will probably go crazy not working, but i am going prn after i have him and in order to get to use my maternity leave i have to use it before march so that another girl can have my full time position.  I have tons of things i want to do, read 3 books, scrapbook my pregnancy, clean and organize.  So I'll probably stay pretty busy. 

I had another baby shower this week, this time at work.  It was great! The food and cakes were very tasty and we got a lot of great gifts!  I love the people i work with and will miss them dearly!

Lastnight we hung the monkey! It wasnt as bad as we thought it would be.  We had put works like this on a wall in the entry way of our house and they were very hard, so we called peyton's aunt Duh to help because she said her words were easy.  But the monkey wasnt near as hard as the words, and i think it looks really good!
Well we go to the doctor thursday for our 34 week check up.  I cannot believe we only have 6 weeks or less to go!  We took a breastfeeding class this past monday, it lasted 3hrs, but we learned ALOT!!  We still have one more class, baby basics, but it isnt until Feb 18th, maybe they will teach Peyton how to change a diaper!lol  Anyway, everything is going great so far, just pray God lets everything continue to go well and Grant gets here healthy and happy!!  Everyone have a good week!

33 weeks and Pharmacy Bunch Shower

Well we are now 33 weeks! This weekend we went to Jonesboro for a baby shower for Grant with the Pharmacy bunch.  We had a great time and got lots of great gifts!!  Here are some pictures of the shower.  The bunch is growing lately, Amy and Reed had baby Kasen a month ago, he's the baby with ALL the hair!!  Blake and Courtney have Lily who will be 2 in April, she's the one helping us open gifts, and Lee and Kara have a 9 month old Jake but he got sick and didnt make it in any of the pictures.  So after March, Grant will make 4 babies and we just found out Amie and Eli are expecting in August! So the group has grown a lot!  But its great!!  We love all the babies!  The same thing is happening in our community group at church.  There are 4 couples that are married and around our age, and 3 of us are having babies.lol It's in the water i guess.  One couple needs prayer though, the mom has lupus and it has flaired up since she has been pregnant.  It is attacking her kidneys and she is starting to swell and is in a lot of pain.  The baby is growing and healthy, but they will probably take it at 28 weeks as soon as it's lungs are developed.  She is on a very strict diet, no salt at all, and had to quit working.  We are tring to plan meals and outing, to get her out of the house, but the main thing they need is prayer!  So if you think about it, please pray for them, her name is Shara.  She is an obgyn nurse at white county and i was so looking forward to her being with me when Grant comes, but it is best if she rest and doesnt do too much.  I only have 2 weeks left of work myself.  I am taking off 6weeks before my due date and 6 weeks after.  In April i will be prn, so i can work a little if i decide too after Grant comes.  Cant wait for him to be here!!  Wednesday is my shower at work and then 2 more church showers, the 31st and 7th, and then we will be done.  Just keep us in your prayers too, we are starting to get nervous.  We have to trust God and know that everything will go great with the labor, delivery, and that Grant will be a healthy happy baby!   Hope everyone has a good week!
