Pregnancy Update

By
Meet Winter Baby :) 
 
   I am not a fan of ultrasounds, but I love, love, LOVE getting to see my Winter Baby!  Some of you know that we had a threatened miscarriage at week twelve, but all is well and we are so grateful!  However, there was some concern as to the placenta, because it was showing a marginal previa; additionally, some of the complications I had post-birth with Ransom raised some questions about a possible Acreta, which is a condition where the placenta grows into the actual uterine muscle.
    We had an appointment today with an OB at U of M Ann Arbor's Women's Hospital and are happy to say that the previa is no longer a concern and there is no sign of an Acreta! This is a huge answer to prayer.
    It was quite the drive, and due to some unforeseen circumstances, we ended up rushing out the door without a thought for food.  About four hours later, we were famished.  I had a craving for a McDonald's Burger in all of it's unhealthy glory, and apparently Ransom did too; he started asking for "Cream-cream" (Ice cream) and fries, so we were all agreed.  I am a lover of the whole foods lifestyle, but sometimes, fast food is a necessity for us.  And today was one of those times!
A truly Happy Meal!
    Ransom enjoyed his "Booger" and fries.  My mom, sister and I enjoyed some girl time (Plus my little buddy), and I may or may not have downed two quarter-pounders with cheese.  I can definitely tell that I'm coming to the end of the second trimester, my hunger-o-meter has spiked drastically and I did not care one bit about the unearthly amount of calories I consumed.  It was well worth it.  No regrets here!
    Thanks so much to all of you who have been praying, it means so much to us!  Our newest little one is due to arrive sometime in December.  We will keep you all posted!

      Thanks! It was fascinating to see an ultrasound this far along, we only had the Week 20 one for Ransom. And I have to say, these two seem to share some pretty striking similarities lol! Thanks for letting me catch up with you at the party a couple weeks ago, it was SO GOOD to see you! I'm so excited for your new home and precious baby girl!!! :D

Birth Story

By
  I don't know when it happened exactly, but recently Little Man has turned into this light sleeper that wakes up every time he falls asleep on someone and needs to be put down.  Now that he's finally down for a nap, I can find a few minutes to write.  I hope?! ....     Anyway, for those of you who are curious, here's how Ransom's birth story goes.  His due date was on April 13th, buuuuut this being my first pregnancy, we were expecting him to be plenty late.  So April 13th came and went, but real labor started that Saturday, the 16th.  Joel was convinced this was the real thing, but I wasn't.  Actually, hours of labor passed before I was convinced  our baby was really coming that night!     Joel was an incredible help, and we really had the best birth team ever.  Some of the things my midwife had me do surprised me.  She let me know early on that I COULD try to make myself as comfortable as possible through the...

We Miss You, Grandpa!

By
        Mixed emotions flood our home today, as it has been two years since the passing of Joel's grandpa into Glory.  Sad because we miss him.  Happy, because we know he is better and we will see him again one day.  It seemed appropriate to have Joel post a tribute in his memory.  Although I never got to meet him, I feel like I know him just a little bit; and I think I can safely say we would have gotten along great!    ***     It has been two years since Grandpa Rumminger left us for Heaven. I still miss him, and there are many things I wish we could talk about, even though I would probably go and do what I was planning anyway. Sometimes it is just good to talk to someone about what is on your mind, even though it does not really change the outcome.    I remember going on a hunting trip with Grandpa one weekend when I was in school. On the way to hunting camp we talked about something that was bothering me...

Truth for a Momma's Heart

By
    A baby.  Determined to fall asleep on Mommy, and Mommy only.  Teething, with rough nights and long days.  Precious, sleepy, and decidedly cranky.     A husband.  Desperately wanting, no, needing his wife's attention.  Wanting so much to go on a date, or play a game together.  Oftentimes hungry as he leaves the working world behind and walks over the threshold into his home.     A mom.  Exhausted, needing even a few quiet moments alone. But the baby screams.  The pile of dishes setting haphazardly on the counter screams.  The laundry, rivaling the size of Mount Everest, screams.  The garbage practically begs to be taken out and thrown into the dumpster.  Her husband, walking into the mess, graciously helps her tackle it; more often than she feels he should have to.  As she sits down to her Bible Study, learning about becoming a woman of excellence, she thinks, "Oh, the irony!".   ...
