What has happened to me...I have no idea! I do hope to get back on track and start blogging regularly! <br />
<br />
Well, in just a couple of weeks you will be turning 8...I can't believe it! You have been playing soccer the last couple of months, and I have enjoyed watching you grow in this sport. You also started piano in January and are doing really well. You are a little shy and don't want to play in front of groups, but in time I think that may change. You continue to be a nurturer...you love little kids and our puppy! <br />
<br />
You are doing well in school...math seems to be your strong subject. You also LOVE art and being able to be as creative as you want! Speaking of creative...you definitely have a creative since of style. You put things together that I wouldn't consider...I LOVE seeing your sense of style develop! <br />
<br />
I want you to know that we love you very much, and we are so thankful that you are a part of our family!

I FINALLY was able to get Kyrie's FIVE year old pictures done. After several weeks of sickness, she put on a sassy outfit, and we head to this gazebo/pond area near our house. As you can tell, she HATES the camera!! ;) So, enjoy a few these pictures of our sweet and sassy Kyrie!<br />

It seems like every time I sit down to write a birthday blog, I wonder where the time has gone. It really feels just like yesterday that we were heading to the hospital to have you! Maybe it is because of the "On this day..." feature on Facebook that I feel that way!<br />
<br />
I have seen you grow so much in this last year. You have gone from a pre-schooler scribbling all over a page to drawing pictures of your family and writing simple sentences letting us know that we are loved by you. You have gone from asking how to spell certain words to learning how to spell them without any help. You have gone from "reading" words on flashcards to reading library books that you pick out on your own. You continue to grow in your love of babies...it makes my heart happy that you desire to be a mom...to "just one baby."<br />
<br />
I love how you sit in my room in the mornings to watch me get ready for the day. You often tell me that you are watching me so you can learn how to be a mommy. The first time that you said that it made me panic. I panicked because I know as much as I seek the Lord to lead and guide me to be the kind of mom He desires me to be, there are still days that my flesh takes over and you see the farthest thing from a mom living and loving like Jesus. But then I realized that in those moments, you get see a mom who confesses when she has done wrong and a mom who seeks forgiveness when she has allowed her fleshly desires to take control.<br />
<br />
I continue to love how you are a cuddle bug when you wake up in the morning or after a nap. There is nothing like having a sleep eyed little one crawl up beside you as they fully wake up. I love watching you stretch. I have heard Daddy say that you remind him of me when you do that. :)<br />
<br />
I love how you are growing in your own fashion style. There are times that I try to lead and guide you...OK, I try to pick out your outfit...and you just want to find the right top and bottom yourself. And I especially love the times when you get dressed and ask, "Do I look like a mommy?"<br />
<br />
I think the biggest thing that happened over the last year is you starting your faith journey. One morning you sat on our bed and said you wanted to give your life to Jesus. So, Daddy and I spent some time talking to you about this decision. Over the last year, I have seen you grow in worshiping Him through singing and dancing. My heart overflows every time I hear you bust out singing a worship song. My heart is full when you come home from AWANA to share what you have learned and the badge you earned for completing your Bible lesson and memory verse.<br />
<br />
I look forward to seeing how you are going to grow this coming year. But on this day, I want to celebrate you...the wonderful you that God has entrusted us with! Happy Birthday, Kyrie Eleison! We love you more than words could ever say, but know that He loves you even more!<br />

One
of my Top 10 Happy Moments in life happened last night!!! Last night
while doing our family devotional, we were reading about the 10
Commandments. As Chris read through the 10 Commandments he stopped and
asked if any of the Hooties had broken that commandment. When he got
done there were a few commandments that had been broken. He then
explained that Jesus came to forgive us for our sins..<span class="text_exposed_show">.all
we need to do is believe that He died on the cross for us, give Him our
life and then each day ask Him to help us. Kyrie, who was sitting on
my lap, whispers, "I want to give my life to Jesus. How do I do that?" I
told her that after Daddy finished the devotional that we would spend a
few minutes talking with her about giving her life to Jesus. So the
other kids went to their rooms to read, and we asked her a bunch of
questions about who Jesus is, why He came, what He does for her, etc.
Then we asked her if she wanted to pray and give her life to Jesus. And
she said, "Yes!" So, Chris led her in a prayer and my heart
melted. The Lord is moving in Kyrie's life. A work has begun, and I am
thankful I got to witness what He has started. Kyrie Eleison, we pray
that you will always remember how much we love you and remember that God
loves you way more!</span></div>

Kyrie, we are so thankful that God has chosen us to be your parents. We love all that you add to our family. You are the one in our family that thinks outside the box. We may give you two options and 9 times out of 10 you will come up with a third option. I love how you don't settle on things. If you feel passionately about something, you let us know. It's not in a throw-a-fit-kind-of-way, and I am so thankful for that! You do it in such a sweet way that most of the time, we don't even realize what has happened!! I pray that God will take this characteristic and use it to further His Kingdom's work. We need people like you to think outside of the box. If not, then people will get stuck doing the same old things in their churches/ministries. <br />
<br />
I also love how you are so feminine...whether it is picking out a dress to wear, taking care of a baby or helping me in the kitchen. I like how you want to watch me get ready in the morning as I pick out my clothes to wear, do my hear, put on my make-up and add some jewelry. There are some days that you want to help pick out my clothes and jewelry. I have started letting you help, and I must say I am pretty impressed with your styling skills. I pray that you will take the confidence that you have and never allow anyone to tell you that it isn't OK for you to be feminine. You own who God has created you to be even if the world tries to tell you differently. <br />
<br />
We love you more than words could ever say. We look forward to seeing who God has created you to be!

Well, another year has come and gone. It seems like every time I write a birthday blog, I want time to slow down or I ask, "Where has the time gone!?!" But I realize that you along with your sister and brothers must grow up...that is all part of His plan. So, we celebrate you...the day you were born. The day you made your grand entrance into the world...just the way He planned. You were breech which required me to have a c-section. We tried EVERYTHING to get you to turn, but you were having NO part of it. The way you entered the world should have been a clue that you like to do things a certain way. And honestly, I am fine with that. The world needs people to think outside of the box...not being OK with two options, but coming up with a third or fourth way of doing things. There are times when you see that maybe your way wasn't the best way, but you learn so much along the way. So please don't change who God created you to be. I do ask though that as you think outside of the box that you allow Him to lead and guide you.<br />
<br />
We had a small party at Mimi and Bup-Bup's house to celebrate your special day. You wanted a princess party and that just fits you perfectly. You wanted purple and pink and sparkle!! You wanted everyone to dress up in fancy clothes, so we did. Suits and ties for the guys and sparkly dresses for the ladies. We had spaghetti and meatballs for dinner and cupcakes for dessert. We finished the night off by playing a few rounds of "Pie in the Face." You weren't too sure of it and didn't play, but you sure enjoyed everyone else getting pied!!<br />
<br />
Here are a few pictures from you birthday party:<br />

So, as you can see, we had a wonderful time celebrating you...Our Little Princess! Happy Birthday, Kyrie Eleison! We love you so much and are honored to be your parents!Sara G.http://www.blogger.com/profile/13484488307107760016noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4762818846807946966.post-28751122321117912552015-05-18T18:21:00.000-07:002015-05-19T16:46:41.391-07:00AWANA Award NightSince November, you have been attending AWANA at Community Baptist Church in LaGrange, NC. You were very interested in attending when Daddy would bring you to watch Josiah and Sophie do the opening group time. One night, your teachers asked if you could stay, so we talked about it and thought we would give it a try. You did really well, but had a couple of moments when you were a little shy, but I think having your big sister, Sophie, there helped you. So, you got a ribbon for participating in Cubbies this year. Next year, you will still be a Cubby, but you will start working on memorizing your Bible verses. We are so proud of you for going and attending each week and participating. We look forward to working with you on your Bible verses. Just like we have told Josiah and Sophie...it isn't just about memorizing the verses to say that you have done it, but we pray that you will live out these verses on a daily basis. We are so proud of you and love you very much, Kyrie Eleison!!<br />

I can't believe that three years have gone by since we welcomed our third child into the world! We have truly been blessed to have her in our family. She brings so much laughter into our lives. She definitely keeps us on our toes...we never know what she may do or say. Often times it comes out when we are disciplining her which requires A LOT of strength not to laugh at her. Many times we keep a straight face, but there are times when the laughter rolls out of us. The world needs people like Kyrie. She will be the one to keep things changing...will encourage people to be think out of the box...she will bring laughter to "tense" situations. She also has the personality of doing things in her own time. I must admit, I often get frustrated repeating the same expectations day in and day out. But when she decides in her own time that the expectation is worth following, there is no turning back. Some might be worried about this personality trait, but I find comfort in knowing that when she gives her life to Jesus, then there will be NO ONE who will change her mind and she will be COMPLETELY sold out to Him...it is just praying her to that point of giving her life to Jesus. She continues to be very maternal...she LOVES her some babies...doll or
human form...it does not matter. She is the one that wants to help in
the kitchen, help with chores...she just wants to help. I love this characteristic about her and know that the Lord will continue to grow this in her and use it for His glory. <br />
<br />
Kyrie has been doing so well in school this year. She has started writing her name; is coloring in the lines; is reading simple, repetitive books. I am so proud of all that she is able to do and often times, she is keeping up with her sister and brother in our school routine. I often times forget that she was just two when we started school this year! She will be starting AWANA in a couple of weeks. She went to watch Josiah and Sophie do their group time a couple of weeks ago and REALLY wanted to stay for the class time. The club director said that she could start coming since she was turning three, so I think we are going to give it a try and see how she does. <br />
<br />
We had a little get-together on her birthday at the Chick-fil-a in town. It was nice to celebrate Kyrie with some old/new friends and family. Here are a few pictures from her party. I hope to go take her three-year-old pictures sometime next week...we have had some sick Hootie Hoos, so we just didn't have time to go take them. And let's be honest...pictures with a boogie nose...well, I don't think she would want to look back and know that I had a picture like that hanging on our family picture wall! <br />

<span class="sectionText">Well,
I think it is safe to say that you are FINALLY potty trained!! This
has been such a LONG process, but we have persevered and stayed consistent. When we went on trip at the end of April and you stayed dry
the whole time we were gone. The craziest thing is you started asking
to go potty, too. It was a little difficult being in the van and you
asking to go, but we definitely took advantage of your requests and
would stop. When we got back, you had a few accidents and stopped
asking to go potty. Then one day, we decided to put you in panties and
made such a big deal about it...which you loved...that I think you were
convinced that you just needed to stay dry and to tell us when you
needed to go. So besides the one random day you had an accident, you
haven't had any accidents for over a month. You are even staying dry at
night. You even go into the bathroom all by yourself and do your own
thing. It is really cute watching you maneuver the stool and the potty
seat, but you are determined to do it all by yourself! :) <br /><br />So
needless to say, we are very proud of this accomplishment. We all have
worked really hard to get you to this point. Keep up the great work,
Ky!!</span>Sara G.http://www.blogger.com/profile/13484488307107760016noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4762818846807946966.post-30115990142619164872013-11-03T10:51:00.000-08:002014-10-07T10:54:44.853-07:00Our Little Busy Bee is 2<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="sectionText">Well,
you are 2 years old!!! The last two years have gone by so fast. It
seems just like yesterday that we were heading to the hospital to have
you turned, so we could deliver you naturally. Even though the turning
wasn't successful and you arrived via C-section, you arrived just how
God wanted you to. <br /><br />Kyrie, you bring so many smiles and even
more laughter to our lives. You have figured out how to use your
cuteness...especially on your daddy! <img alt="Laughing" border="0" src="http://www.babysites.com/inc/tiny_mce/3.2.7/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-laughing.gif" title="Laughing" />
You are truly a joyful baby...I mean toddler. Nothing gets you down.
You continue to be cuddly, which Mommy loves! Often times, you find
your way into someone's lap, want a pillow and blanket to snuggle with,
or just want to give BIG hugs. You are truly a free spirit...you love
life, love trying new things and often times you lack a fear...which
keeps me on my toes! <br /><br />You have been learning so much in school.
You know your letters, how to spell your name, count to 12, your
shapes, your colors, words from "Your Baby Can Read" and many other
things. Right now, you really enjoy playing with your babies, doing
puzzles, reading (your favorite book is "Little Blue Truck"), drawing
and helping Mommy cook. <br /><br />Kyrie, we are so thankful for you and
the fact that God chose us to be your parents. We look forward to
seeing how God is going to use you to further His kingdom. <br /><br />We love you, Kyrie Eleison!!</span><br />

<span class="sectionText">Well, I decided to take a minute...or two to write about you. <br /><br />My
how you have grown in just the past few weeks. Your are able to
communicate so much better...putting simple sentences together to let us
know what you want...or don't want! :) <br /><br />We have had some good
laughs lately. The other morning, I was getting ready for the day. I
was getting my dirty laundry, and I couldn't find my milk pads. I
looked all around the bathroom and bedroom thinking I might have dropped
them somewhere along the way. I couldn't find them, but figured they
would show up at some point, so I carried on with getting ready. A bit
later, Tobias was crying and you came to me and said, "Feed, Baby?" I
told you, "Yes, I need to feed, Tobias." Then you proceeded to lift up
your shirt and say, "Feed, Baby!" as you removed my lost milk pads. I
just started laughing because that is one place I didn't think to look! <br /><br />The
other night, you came to me with a library book and said, "Read you."
So we sat on the couch to read our book. Part way through, you decided
you wanted to read your favorite book, "Little Blue Truck." I told you
that we needed to finish our library book first before we read "Blue."
Well, you didn't like my answer, so you asked again, "Read you." Again,
I told you we needed to finish our other book first. Again, you said,
"Read you." Again, I told you after. Daddy was in the kitchen
listening to all this and shaking his head. I told him it was an
illustration of what his going on with our government right now.
(Currently our government is shut down because they can't agree or
compromise on healthcare/budget/and everything else in between). That
made your daddy chuckle. Again, you asked and again, I told you
afterwards. Then in a firm voice you said, "Read you, right now!!" I
saw your daddy put his head down and his body shake a bit from
laughter. I was just so shocked that I didn't even know what to say.
The night ended with us not finishing the library book or reading
"Blue." <br /><br />The last thing is from the other day and potty
training. Let's just say this time around hasn't been as easy as it has
been with your brother and sister. :) You went the entire night with a
dry diaper, so I decided to put you on the potty even though you were politely saying, "No, thank you." I put on a TV show for you to watch
and let you sit on the potty. After 30 minutes...still no pee-pee. So I
sat down next to you to read a couple of stories. Got done
reading...still no pee-pee. So I sang a few songs...still no pee-pee.
I leaned over to give you a kiss to encourage you..."Back Away, Momma"
came from your lips as your hand went up. Again, you left this momma
speechless...and laughing inside. And after almost an hour...still no
pee-pee. <br /><br />So as you can see, you have quite the personality. I
love your strong-will...even though it leaves me speechless at times and
frustrated at others, but this is who God has designed you to be. I
pray that you use this strong-will to stand firm in Jesus. That you
won't be swayed by what the world has to offer. I love you, Kyrie
Eleison, and I am so proud to be your momma...even when you give me a
run for my money!! :) </span>Sara G.http://www.blogger.com/profile/13484488307107760016noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4762818846807946966.post-37953208837714544972012-11-03T10:54:00.000-07:002014-10-14T17:36:59.295-07:00Happy 1st Birthday!<span class="sectionDate"></span><br />
<span class="sectionText">Well,
it is hard to believe that you are year old. The last 12 months have
gone by super fast!! It is hard to imagine what our family was like
before you. <br /><br />Your first birthday wasn't quite what Mommy had
planned it to be, but it turned out just like it was supposed to be.
You and Sophie were both sick, so we decided to cancel your party
because we didn't want anyone else to get your germs. So, we had a nice
family day at home with Mimi, Bup-Bup, John and Jen. We ate grilled
cheese sandwiches for lunch and had a birthday cake. You REALLY liked
the cake...you are the only Greenwood child that actually got all
messy. That night we went out to dinner at Red Robin and you enjoyed
your mac and cheese. <br /><br />We love you very much, Kyrie Eleison, and are so thankful that God chose you to be a part of our family!!</span><br />

<span class="sectionText">Well,
you have been with us as long as you were in the womb. The last few
months since I did your 6 month entry has gone by so fast. You continue
to grow and learn more and more each day. You are sitting up so much
better. Every once in awhile, you will fall backwards, but it is
because you are so excited that you throw yourself back. We keep some
pillows behind you...just in case. <img alt="Laughing" border="0" src="http://www.babysites.com/inc/tiny_mce/3.2.7/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-laughing.gif" title="Laughing" />
You are really moving around on your belly...you can pretty much scoots wherever you want. The other day, you got yourself under
Sophie's bed!!! You are pulling your knees up under you, and you can
straighten your arms out...you just haven't figured out how to do them
at the same time. Once you do, it won't be long before you take off
crawling! You continue to be a SUPER good eater. We are still AMAZED at
how you are eating things from the table...still doing baby food, but
you are so over the Stage 2 baby food!!! You only have your two bottom
teeth, but you know how to use them! <img alt="Laughing" border="0" src="http://www.babysites.com/inc/tiny_mce/3.2.7/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-laughing.gif" title="Laughing" />
You continue to be a super happy and easy baby...you just go with the
flow. Really the only time you fuss is when you are hungry. You have
started drinking from a sippy cup...bye-bye to the bottle...once a day.
The rest of the time is with Mommy. You really like to laugh and have
already figured out that when you do something funny, we laugh at you.
Usually, you like it when we laugh, so you do your trick again..and
again...and again!!! <img alt="Laughing" border="0" src="http://www.babysites.com/inc/tiny_mce/3.2.7/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-laughing.gif" title="Laughing" />
You have started sleeping through the night...usually from 7pm to 6am.
Every once in awhile, you may have an off night, but nothing too crazy.
You are still taking 2 naps a day. We have continued watching your
reading videos...you get so happy when we put them on. At the end of
the video they have some word games, and you have begun tracking your
eyes to the word that is called. We think you will be reading early
just like your brother and sister. You LOVE your bath time...you have
really figured out how to use your legs and kick water all over Daddy!
Maybe I should give him a rag and some cleaner and the two of you can
clean the bathroom while you are at it! We are looking into signing you
up for a swim class...I think you will have LOTS of fun. <br /><br /> Well,
that is it for now. Can't believe how quickly these 9 months have gone
by. Know that we LOVE you so much and thank God everyday for choosing
us to be your parents. </span><br />

<span class="sectionText">Well,
I can't believe half-year has come and gone. It seems like so long ago
that we were heading to the hospital to have you turned to find out
that you didn't move your tiny little foot and we were headed to the OR
for a c-section. Seriously, where has the time gone? <br /><br />You have
definitely found your place in our family and in our hearts. You are so
laid back and just go with the flow. Your smile and laugh are so
contagious. You have a brother and sister who truly adore you. It is
so sweet when they bring you a toy, but I think my favorite is when they
get on their belly to lay down beside you...to play with you or just
talk with you...and sometimes your brother will sneak a kiss or two on
your forehead. :) <br /><br />You are really getting into a nice routine.
You still nurse quite a bit and are eating 3 meals of baby food a day.
We went to your 6 month check up and the doctor said to cut back on the
baby food and try to nurse more. So we decided to cut out lunch and
just nurse. After 3 days of you not sleeping very well...taking a short
nap in the afternoon and getting up 2 to 3 times a night, we decided to
put lunch back into your routine. You are back to napping for 2 to 3
hours in the afternoon and only getting up once at night. Usually,
Mommy and Daddy follow doctor's orders, but not this time...we all need
our sleep! :) <br /><br /> You are doing really well with your readying
video...you get big smiles on your face and screech when the video is
on. I think you really like them! :) You are working on sitting up
without help...you can do a few seconds before you get so excited that
you tip yourself over. You love to stand on my lap and make yourself
jump/bounce. You have started enjoying your toys and your favorite ones
right now are your blue ball and your froggy chime. <br /><br /> Well, I
guess that is all for now...one of these days I will get around to
taking your 6 month pictures...hopefully sooner than later. :) Know
that you are loved very much, Kyrie Eleison! </span><br />

<span class="sectionText">Well, I can't believe that you are already three months...can you please stop growing? <img alt="Frown" border="0" src="http://www.babysites.com/inc/tiny_mce/3.2.7/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-frown.gif" title="Frown" /> We
can't imagine what our family would be like without you...God knew
exactly what He was doing when He made you a part of our family...for
that we are truly thankful. <br /><br />What has been going on with you
lately? Well, let's see...you have gotten your third cold. We are so
thankful that when you go to the doctor that everything is fine...we
know some friends whose baby had to go to the hospital for their cold
because it got into his lungs...so for the good reports we are truly
thankful! You are getting stronger and stronger...you are pulling
yourself up when we hold onto your hands. Mommy has gone to get you out
of your crib a few times to find you at the bottom of the crib. We
have put you in your orange chair and you are doing a great job sitting
up...you got great neck control. We started you on the "Your Baby Can
Read" videos and you are doing a great job tracking the words...I have a
feeling you are going to be just as smart as your brother and sister.
You are smiling a lot more at all of us...especially your brother and
sister. Today, you actually laughed when Mommy was tickling you...it
was the sweetest little laugh. You are doing a great job sleeping...you
actually put yourself to sleep now...it is such a great thing! We get
anywhere from 4 to 7 hours of sleep at night...Mommy and Daddy are a big
fan when you give us the 7 hour stretch, but you are still doing a
great job! <br /><br /> I guess that is all...know that we love you very much and are so thankful that God chose us to be your parents! </span><br />

<span class="sectionText">Ok,
so you are officially 5 weeks old, and I'm just getting time to write
your one month entry. Mommy is sorry for not getting it done
sooner...we will eventually get back on a routine. Well, Kyrie...you
have been with our family for 5 weeks now, and we are so glad that God
has allowed you to be a part of our family. You are truly a wonderful
baby...so laid back. Really the only time you cry is when you are
hungry or tired...hey, I can live with that since your brother and
sister both had colic and cried ALL the time! You have started smiling
some--we love how your whole face sparkles when you smile. You are
sleeping anywhere from 3 to 4 hours at a time before eating at night.
You are starting to stay awake more during the day. During the day,
you are wanting to eat more and more, but I would rather you get loaded
up and sleep longer stretches at night. You are growing so well...the
doctor said your weight gain is textbook--something we NEVER heard with
your brother or sister. You are beginning to follow us with your eyes
and you like looking at our faces. We love all the noises you make
while awake and even sleeping. <br /><br />There are times when Mommy
wonders if you are getting enough attention...sometimes, I feel like you
are not and feel guilty about it, but know that we DO love you very
much and are so thankful for you. We look forward to seeing how God is
going to use you and how He is going to grow you. Don't ever doubt our
love for you...you are truly a gift from God just like your brother and
sister...and we will always be thankful for the blessing all of you are
to us! <br /><br />We love you and Happy 1 month...and then some...Birthday, Kyrie!</span><br />

<span class="sectionText">Well,
Kyrie Eleison has made her entrance! We got up early Thursday
morning...like 5am early to get ready to go to the hospital. The plan
was to go ahead and turn Kyrie if she hadn't already turned. When we
got there and the doctor finally came in, she said Kyrie was still
breech. She was going to have to go ahead with the external version.
She asked if I had made a decision about getting an epidural and I told
her I still didn't want one. So she went ahead with turning the baby.
She got her head turned down, but for some reason couldn't get it
straight down. When the doctor did an ultrasound, she saw that her feet
were down where my cervix was. We had to wait four hours because I had
eaten, so even though they were talking c-section they said she might
move her feet in that time. Well, she ended up not moving her feet and
started laboring some, so it was off to get ready for the c-section. I
am so against having an epidural that I even asked to be knocked out
during the c-section. There were too many big risks to be able to do
that, so I had to just trust the Lord with this whole situation. The
c-section was so quick from start to finish...we were walking into the
OR around 12:05pm and they were pushing me into recovery by 12:40pm.
Kyrie Eleison joined us officially at 12:24pm weighing 6 lbs. 8 oz. and
measuring 19 inches long. We are so thankful that she is here safely
and is absolutely healthy. Please pray for us as we transition to being
a family of four to a family of five. </span><br />

WOW!
Less than a week, and we will be a family of five! The last week has
been pretty eventful--more eventful than I would like. A little over a
week ago, the kids and I were on our way to meet Chris for lunch. I
started feeling really hot and little sick to my stomach. Then there is a
time period that I don't even remember--guessing I blacked out. I
remember waking up at a green light and seeing no cars and thinking, "I
need to go so I don't hold up traffic." I called Chris and told him
that we were just going home b/c I didn't feel well and feel like I had
blacked out. He came home right away. Shortly after he got home, a
police officer showed up looking for the driver of our van. We
understand he has a job to do, but he was really insensitive to the fact
I wasn't feeling well and was 37 weeks pregnant. Once he saw me, his
tone changed, and he became a little more understanding. He did say that
I needed to go back to the accident or that he would have no choice,
but to charge me with a felony. So Chris loaded the kids and me back in
the van, and we headed back to the accident--I NEVER knew that I had
hit anyone--the impact didn't wake me up. The damage to the bumpers made
it look a lot worse than the accident really was--nobody was
hurt--Praise the LORD!! They didn't charge me with a felony, so I'm so
THANKFUL for that. I did call my OB when we got back home because I
was still feeling pretty bad. She wanted me to go to the hospital and
be monitored in the Labor and Delivery wing for a few hours. After
being there for awhile, they decided that Kyrie was doing fine, but they
wanted me to go to the ER to be monitored for a few more hours to make
sure I was doing OK. After being there for a few more hours and having a
few tests done, they couldn't find anything wrong. The conclusion we
came up with is sometimes an artery can get blocked in pregnant women
from sitting the wrong way and the weight of the baby which can cause
them to pass out. We were so thankful that our good friends the Porters
and the McLeods were flexible enough to come watch the kids while Chris
and I were in the hospital. We knew the kids were in loving hands, so
it made it easier to focus on what was going on at the hospital. After
being in the hospital for 8+ hours, we headed home. We decided that it
would be best for me not to drive until after Kyrie gets here--wasn't
expecting to be laid up in the house this early, but I know it is best
and safest for all. The next couple of days, I was pretty tired. It
was hard to tell if being tired was from the incident, Josiah getting up
3 to 4 times a night for a couple of weeks or just pregnancy related.
Chris was supposed to be on a camping retreat with the youth, but
earlier in the week we had a conversation, and I told him since this
summer and planning the trip I never felt like he should go. I told him
a couple days before again that I felt like something bad was going to
happen and that he may need to make plans to have some other leaders be
in charge...little did I know what was going to happen, but Chris made
plans to be around. I'm so thankful that he listened and took me
seriously. We made it through the weekend for the most part. Josiah
started getting this cough in his chest that was very wet sounding. On
Monday, we decided he needed to go to the doctor, so we called to make
an appointment for after my OB appointment. We dropped Sophie off at
another friend's house (Thanks, Cruzes!) while we went to the doctor.
While at the OB, we found out that Kyrie is breech with her head under
my ribs--the first blow of the day. Then we headed to Josiah's
appointment and found out that he has a form of bronchitis/asthma and
needed to start breathing treatments--second blow of the day. It was a
hard day...let's just say a hard week, but I am so thankful for our
church family! I have received LOTS of encouraging phone calls checking
in to see if we needed anything from the store or if I needed help. We
have someone organizing meals. It is hard to not have family right
down the street to call when help is needed, but the Lord has taught me
the last few days that family doesn't have to take the form of being
related physically by blood, but family is those who are covered by the
blood of Jesus. So I need to say a BIG THANK YOU to our RPC church
family for stepping in and taking on the role of "family" this past week
and the weeks to come as we adjust to having Kyrie here. God has truly
blessed us with a wonderful and amazing VA family!</div>

<span class="sectionText">Well,
we have had our Reveal Party. We had LOTS of fun with our church
family and my mom who surprised us with a visit. If you haven't heard
by now...IT'S A GIRL!!! <br /><br />The party was LOTS of fun...we had a
great time of fellowship, eating and playing some games. All the food
consisted of cravings Chris and I have been having throughout the
pregnancy. The first game we played was the name scramble game. We
gave everyone the letters for the boy's name and the girl's name. If it
was a boy, we were going to name him Richard Elias. If it was a girl,
we were going to name her Kyrie Eleison. After the name scramble game,
we played a game where I had to answer questions to old wives' tales.
According to the way I answered the questions, it was a boy. After that
game, we shared with everyone how we came up with the names and what
they meant. Richard means "rich and powerful ruler." We came up with
that name because of my brother who passed away 19 years ago. Elias
means "the Lord is my God." I have always liked the name Elijah, but so
many of our friends have named their sons Elijah, and I wanted
something different, so we used a derivative of Elijah. Kyrie Eleison
means "Lord have mercy." I had actually picked out the name Ella, and
we were trying to come up with a middle name. I found the name Kyrie in
a liturgical chant called "Kyrie Eleison." Chris liked the name Kyrie
and felt like if we were going to use that name, we should use it as her
first name. I wasn't too sure at first, but after a few days of using
that name, I began to like it. So Ella Kyrie became Kyrie Eleison.
After sharing the meaning of the names, it was time to cut the
cake...Chris and I had NO IDEA what we were having, so it was a surprise
to us when saw the pink frosting inside. We were both surprised to
find out we were having a girl. Chris and I were both dressed in
blue--I guess Josiah was right. He has been certain that the baby was a
girl from the beginning. He even told us if it was a boy, he would be
very sad...I'm glad that he wasn't disappointed. :) <br /><br /> Well, that
is all for now. We are so excited that we are having another girl. We
can't wait to meet Kyrie Eleison in November--it is going to be here
before we know it. Please pray for a continued safe pregnancy and
delivery. </span><br />

<span class="sectionText">So
I have been journaling quite a bit over the last few weeks, but hadn't
been writing it down here because we hadn't shared that we are expecting
Baby #3. Now that the secret is out, here is what has been going on:<br /><br /> <i><br /></i></span><br />
<i><span class="sectionText">March 1<sup>st</sup></span></i><br />
<span class="sectionText"><br /> Well,
I just took a pregnancy test about 3 minutes ago...and? We are
EXPECTING Baby G3. OK, my hands are so shaky right now that I’m having
the hardest time typing. The last few days, I’ve really been struggling
with wanting to take a pregnancy test. I know I was totally being
distracted by it. I spent quite a bit of time praying about it last
night—telling God sorry for being so distracted. In and out of sleep, I
would dream that I had taken a pregnancy test and each time it came
back positive. So I got up at 5:15am (because I REALLY had to go to the
bathroom and you are supposed to test first thing in the morning) and
just asked God if I had His blessing. I felt like I had a green light
unlike the HUGE red light I felt yesterday while I was at Target to buy a
cheap pregnancy test because I didn’t want to use an expensive one this
early. <br />
<br />So the way that I told your Daddy---I texted him.
He isn’t big into the cellphone thing¸ so I decided to see how long it
takes him to check his messages. <br />
<br />Well, I’m sure I will
post more later. We love you G3 and are so very thankful that God has
chosen us to be your parents. Know there will be LOTS of prayers lifted
up for you during the next few months until we meet you and many more
after you arrive.<br />
<br /> <br /><i>March 5<sup>th</sup></i><br />
<br />Well,
it’s just been a few days since we found out that Baby G3 is growing
inside of me. I called to make an appointment to see the OB, and it is
scheduled for April 18<sup>th</sup>—I will be in my 10<sup>th</sup>
week. Why does it feel like I am already showing? They say that with
each pregnancy you show sooner and sooner—I guess they are right. We
are going to wait until the beginning of April—maybe even April 1<sup>st</sup> to tell our parents. J<br />
<br />Tomorrow would be your Uncle Richard’s 42<sup>nd</sup>
birthday. He was killed in a plane crash in August of 1992. Mommy
will be saying some special prayers for your Mimi because I’m sure it
will be a hard day for her. If you happen to be a boy, then you will
somehow be named after your uncle. I wish you, Josiah and Sophie
could have met him—he was a little wild and crazy. I know he would have
been a great uncle.<br />
<br />Well, that is all for now. Please continue to pray that G3 does what he’s supposed to do—stay put and keep on growing.<br />
<br /> <br /><i>March 20<sup>th</sup></i><br />
<br />Hey,
Little Baby! Well, we made it safely back from our crazy trip to
TN/GA. While we were gone, Mommy really started feeling morning
sickness. I’m not going to complain though because morning sickness is a
good thing—that means you are growing like you are supposed to. Last
night was a rough night…I had a hard time falling asleep because I was
so nauseas feeling. Daddy was super understanding though and was very
sensitive to Mommy—I want you to know you are so blessed to have Daddy
as your daddy. Since Mommy didn’t sleep very well and was still feeling
a little icky, Daddy took Josiah and Sophie to Sunday School for me so I
could stay home and rest—I told you that we are super blessed to have
him in our lives! We have about 3 more weeks before we tell everyone
about you---by that point I will be 9 weeks along. Don’t know if we can
hide you for that long since I’m wearing these nice SeaBands to help
with the morning sickness. Mommy is so excited to have you growing and
can’t wait to meet you. Even though I’m so very excited to meet you,
you need to stay put for a lot longer!!!! Well, I guess I should get
going so I can go get ready for church.<br />
<br /><i>March 21<sup>st</sup></i><br />
<br />Well,
we have told all the grandparents and one set of great-grandparents
about your upcoming arrival. There is a lot of excitement! We won’t
tell the rest of our friends and family until the beginning of April.
It has been kind of funny the reaction of some of the grandparents. We
got Josiah a t-shirt that said, “Big Brother” on it—nothing unusual.
Then we got Sophie a t-shirt that said, “Big Sister” on it. It was
amazing how long she wore it without anyone really noticing what it
said. Chris actually had to mention Sophie’s t-shirt before it clicked
in. J Auntie Corey sent some maternity clothes back with Lin-Lin for
down the road—little did she know that down the road was going to be
sooner than later!<br />
<br /> <br /><i>April 1<sup>st</sup></i><br />
<br />Well,
it has been quite a week. We have been trying to get me and Sophie
better again…and keeping the boys healthy. We have had a cold and
Sophie has been teething—she has 3 teeth that have come through and a
couple more working their way out! I have had some morning sickness and
nausea, so as you can see, we have just been surviving. I have been
trying to pack for our trip to FL—we leave in 2 days!!! Josiah is
extremely excited—he can’t wait to go see the whales and dolphins so he
can get wet. It looks like we will be sitting in the splash zone if he
has a say about it. J The next couple of days will be busy—painting
the nursery at the church, packing and getting the house in order before
we leave. I will be excited about Sunday 3:30pm when we are sitting in
FL. </span>Sara G.http://www.blogger.com/profile/13484488307107760016noreply@blogger.com0
