Baby in Heaven

As I am sitting here writing this, my heart is broken. Yesterday I just wasn't feeling right so we decided to go to the doctor and just make sure everything was ok. We found out through a sonogram that our little baby no longer had a heartbeat. We also found out that lil baby was not growing. 2 weeks ago, baby measured at 7 1/2 weeks and yesterday baby measures at 7 weeks and 6 days and it should have measured at 9 weeks.

We are just so sad. It doesn't make sense how 2 weeks ago our little baby could have such a strong heartbeat and now there isn't one. I have so many questions and am so frustrated. Why us?? I can't help but question what I did through out the last 2 weeks but our doctor reassured me that it was nothing I did and there is nothing wrong with me or with Brent. Sometimes these things just happen and we don't know why. I think it's God's way of protecting me and our baby. God knew something was not right and decided to take the baby to heaven. I know that we will get through this. I know we will have tough days that in time will turn into tough moments as we are reminded of our loss, but God will get us through all of it. It doesn't make it hurt any less but I know that we will be stronger in our relationship with one another because of it. This was all apart of God's amazing plan for our lives and how can we argue with that? He knew what he was doing and He knows what he will do in the future. We just have to trust Him.

So as for now, this pregnancy journey ends but we hope that in the near future we will be able to share some more good news. Thank you for all your support and prayers.

Sutton Camille

On March 9th, The Drummond family (Brent's sister and her family) welcomed baby number 4! Sutton Camille entered the world at 3:55pm! We are so excited that she is finally here!! It was so sweet to see her big brother and sisters holding her and loving her! We went up to the hospital, with the rest of the family, to see her! She slept the whole time but it was still fun to see her and hold her.

A Saturday Project!

Lately I have been realizing that my jewelry is a little out of control on my dresser. My earrings are everywhere and they get tangled and its just a mess! I got a little box at a garage sale to help organize my jewelry but my earrings got lost in there with everything else so I had to come up with another plan.



So I got online the other day and googled earring displays and I found one that was really cute and easy. I decided it was going to be my Saturday project. I got a 8 x 10 frame from Wal-mart and some hanging wire, a total of $6. We borrowed a friends staple gun and I was ready to go. I did make the mistake of asking Brent if he knew how to use a staple gun! He was not happy!!



I started by taking off the back of the frame and removing the glass. Then I measured the wire the width of the frame and folded it over 3 times and twisted it then stapled it to the frame. I did this 4 times! It turned out great. The girl on the website painted her frame white but I just decided that if I wanted to decorate it, I could later. Im really happy with how it turned out. It was so easy and so cheap! Now my earrings have a home and my dresser looks a little better. Now I just have to figure out what to do with my watches!!
