Hello All...
Well Isaac is officially 9 months old. And he thinks he is such a big boy. I have to remind him every now and then that he is still my baby! ha! I haven't taken in him yet for his 9 month check up...so not quite sure how much he has grown since his 6 month check up.
Well by now most babies should be full blown cruiser crawling. But not our baby boy...I like to call him lazy boy. I guess he takes after his mommy. He does do the army crawl, hence the title of my post. He army crawls all over the place. But recently he has actually started getting up on all fours and started rocking back and forth. So I know it won't be much longer before he catches up with everyone else. It actually has been nice b/c although he can do the army crawl, it still takes him longer to get to whatever he is trying to get to. So I can usually beat him. But when he starts to actually crawl I know that won't be the case at all.
Last week I had to take Isaac to the doctor b/c I could tell he was coming down with something. It all started as a runny nose and little cough. Which he coughs off and on quite reguarly. And I thought the runny nose was due to teething or something. So I didn't think much about it. But his eyes were gooping up so bad but I just figured it was from the runny nose. So I didn't take him to the doctor right away. Until one day his snot turned colors (I know that is gross) but it was a great indicator that something else was going on besides just teething. And we were at the mall that day and he was just so lathargic and not smiling at all. And those of you who know Isaac at all know that he is smiling ALL of the time. So I decided to take him into the doctor. Come to find out he had a sinus infection. So Dr. Readinger gave him 2 more inhalers and an antibiotic. Luckily now he is somewhat better. But when I did take him that day they did weigh him and he was weighing at 19 lbs 10 ozs.
On another note...most of you probably know that Jacob lost his job this week. Which Jacob and I were expecting it for the most part. I just kept praying that maybe God would work in the hearts of those who made the decision. But we most definitely want to be in the will of God, so apparently this was God's will for us. It is just very difficult for us. Because not only did Jacob lose his job in a way we fee like we have lost so much more. So we are struggling with this quite a bit. But I know the Lord will get us through this. I know when He closes a door another one opens. But when you go through trial and tribulations sometimes its hard to see the positive in the situation...ya know. And of course my biggest concern is Isaac, if this had a happened a couple of years ago before we had Isaac I probably wouldn't be so worried about stuff. But I know Isaac has wonderful grandparents and a family that will support and help us through all of this. We are going to continue to attend Metropolitan until the Lord leads us to another church where hopefully Jacob could work on staff. Per Jacob more than likely the next church we are on staff at will most likely not be in this area so we will more than likely have to move. Which I am struggling with as well. Not so much because of me but because I really do not want to move Isaac away from his grandparents. But hopefully the Lord has something else in store for us to keep that from happening. But I know if that were the case that the Lord will take care and everything will work out as it should. Ya know it is just so hard, once you get used to living a certain lifestyle and it feels like somebody just took it away and EVERYTHING has to change. That is very hard for a person like myself, so I have to rely on God through this and let him be in control. Okay I will quit babbling on about this. I just want to say that Jacob and I are so very thankful for our parents being so supportive of us through all of this. Had you guys not been supportive, it would have made this whole process so much harder for us. So thank you and we love you all very much. Isaac is so blessed to have such wonderful grandparents who he knows love him very much.
