Thatcher's Story

Thatcher's Story
I didn't want this to get lost in my list of posts, so I am creating a place so that everyone can easily access this link. Please read this touching story about baby Thatcher, our friends son who was born with a rare liver disease and is in need of a liver transplant. Jessie has worked closely with Brad for over 4 years and I became friends with her while working at WSA until I left last spring. Thatcher was born a month before Braden and this story really hits home for me. When I look at Braden I think about how incredibly lucky I am. This could just as easily be our him going through this. Jessie will most likely be the living donor for Thatcher and they are in need of our prayers! I promise you will be touched by reading this story. Thanks!

6 weeks already?!

I cant believe it has already been 6 whole weeks that Braden has been with us! Boy is he growing, growing, GROWING! I am thinking he is about 13-14 pounds. I looked at Connor's baby book and he wasnt that big until at least 3 months. Braden is already in 3 month clothes and about to grow out of all of his size 1 diapers. I had to go and return them today because he just isnt going to be able to squeeze in them for much longer. What can I say...he does like to eat! Which means that Mommy stays pretty busy feeding every 2-3 hours. I have to plan my trips wisely because by the time I get out the door and to the store it is time for him to eat again! He is about to start sleeping in his crib and I am hoping that this might help stretch out his feedings since he wont be beside me. They say they can smell their Mommy and therefore want to nurse. We will see if it works... Connor and Braden are so cute together these days. Braden just looks and smiles at his big brother and Connor gives him lots of hugs and kisses! We are doing well and enjoying all of the beautiful Fall festivities and staying very busy!


Braden's Halloween costume that probably won't fit for Halloween...I had to take some pictures! ROAR!!


Braden is smiling now and LOVES his big brother!
