well, we got back the latest test results, and yes, grayson tested "high to severely high" for all 10 foods. i mean, really? seriously? so frustrating. even chicken and sweet potatoes were on the list. which is his entire diet. so, on to patch tests, because i just am not sure we can totally trust the blookwork in grayson's case. something in him builds antibodies to every food, which is what the bloodwork is counting. i was PRAYING for a new thanksgiving food! oh well. i am THANKFUL that we have a few foods even if he does test highly allergic to them. AND he is sleeping so so so so good this last month. and his face and body have been doing really well too, so i won't complain. i'm tempted. but i'll try not to. :)
new subject. we put up our christmas tree a few weeks ago (don't make fun because i don't care, it made me feel better) and i snapped a shot of grayson playing with his new favorite thing, pablo the penguin, and his train set that we kinda wrapped around the tree (thanks aunt courtney and uncle chris!). he loves the tree, and its a good thing i love decorating for christmas because he de-ornamifies the bottom two feet of the tree on a daily basis.
we got a new puppy hat thing for one of the kids to wear when we go on walks in the morning (i'm very faithful to walk every morning- HA), and the kids like to share it... can you tell who is who?
if you're a boy, you can stop reading this post now- i haven't updated on this since saying that we would be losing this baby, and we did, last saturday, november 15th. i am healing, and am ok with it all, i understand that it happens, and its a risk with every pregnancy- a very high risk. aislyn understood i think, she tells me that the "new baby" is living in heaven with Jesus and that we need to get a new baby in my tummy very soon. we'll see about that. anyway, lyss and i were hanging out one night, shortly after she found out that she was going to miscarry (
update for her- her pregnancy is fine as of now, thank the Lord, we are praying all will go well for the next nine months!)- anyway... we were hanging out and being incredibly dark about our current situations and decided that hallmark needs to market a "miscarriage in a box", much like they do for other events, "baby shower in a box", "bridal shower in a box", you get the point. well, i was laying on my couch the day that i was miscarrying, and i spotted the box i had been living out of, (including a cookie) and had to take a picture. it was, in a nutshell, a miscarriage in a box. everything you need. it kinda made me laugh. sorry if that offends anyone. you've gotta find something humorous in the dark times. OH, and if anyone is in the market for new maxi pads (giving birth, miscarriage, time of the month, whatever) do not ever buy anything but "always infinity" brand. i'm not kidding, they have like memory foam or something, i don't know what it is but they are so comfortable and do the job quite well. :) if you're a boy, i TOLD you to stop reading.
anyway, thanks for all the prayers. we pray that you have a blessed thanksgiving!!!!

Girl - you are so funny, you make me smile inside and out. You want to know something interesting? So strange, but I miscarried on November 15th too, 5 years ago this month. We found out we were pregnant on November 13th, and before we could absorb the blessing it was over. Kind of reminds me of that song Glory Baby by Watermark. I pray God will grant you many more children, and grace in this time of having lost one. It is a terrible thing to experience, hope deferred makes the heart sick. But thank God He is for us and knows us completely, and is near to the broken-hearted. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving, I can't believe how alike we are! Not just how we need our girlfriends, sometimes have a morbid sense of humor or just a weird sense of humor at that, but especially the Christmas tree - if I had it my way, it would probably go up on October 31st :) Love you... ~Rachel
You're crazy. . . you make me laugh;) The way that you approach things is amazing. . . with grace, wit, and laughter. You are an inspriation!
a cookie? seriously? weird. but cool. you're so awesome. that post made me smile and want to cry at the same time. God bless you!!! love, anna
seriously, i love you. kindred spirits are we. and soul sisters indeed. i am glad you left out the other part of our m/c talk from jinja...where i was in tears laughing, i was going to pee my pants...that would be a bit much to share publicly....but of course, here with this post..you have outdone yourself with your spirit and especially your wit! i am proud of you, sweet friend for being strong and for fighting the good fight! may we always remind each other to keep fighting and that our God is sovereign! love you, silly lady!
Oh my gosh - this made me laugh so hard I cried.
You are going on the blogs to read, list, girl! It's great!
