A Baby's Conversation With God

I recently read this and thought it was so neat that I had to share it!

A Baby's Conversation with God


A baby asked God, "They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow,
but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?"

God said, "Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you."

The child further inquired, "But tell me, here in heaven I don't have
to do anything but sing and smile to be happy.."

God said, "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you.
And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy."

Again the small child asked, "And how am I going to be able to understand
when people talk to me if I don't know the language?"

God said, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words
you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will
teach you how to speak."

"And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?"

God said, "Your angel will place your hands together and will teach
you how to pray."

"Who will protect me?"

God said, "Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life."

"But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore."

God said, "Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach
you the way to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you."

At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth
could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, "God, if I am to leave
now, please tell me my angel's name."

God said, You will simply call her, " Mom ."

First Ultrasound

Today was my first ultrasound. It was exciting, but I wish Gavin could have been there! I am 6 weeks 2 days along, and usually they don't schedule them this early. But because of my situation with Skyler, they did one today. The baby is measuring 7 weeks, so a bit bigger than expected. The doctor also said the baby's heart sounds great, beating at 126 bpm! It was very exciting to lunch to Gavin and show him his child's first picture! Here is our baby's first photo op!



As for me, I am exhausted! I wake up every morning between 3 and 5, and have a hard time getting back to sleep. That doesn't count the times I have to wake up to go to the bathroom or get sick! I have morning sickness off and on through out the day, and I've been advised by the doctor to never let my stomach get empty. She told me to constantly eat due to having my gastric bypass. She said that when I eat, my body doesn't absorb all of the nutrients. Therefore, I have to eat MORE than usual to keep my nutrient levels up. They did blood work today to see if I need any types of supplements due to my morning sickness. In my case, my prenatal vitamin may not be enough. But so far so good, everything looks great! Let's keep our fingers crossed that all goes well from here on out!

New year...new surprises...

Well last year was a pretty exciting year. I got engaged, we welcomed beautiful new babies to the Taylor family, and I got to see family that I haven't seen in YEARS. This year is starting off with a bang too! Matt and Bree will be married soon, Gavin and I will be married soon, and we will be bringing our own little bundle of joy in to the world.

Yep, you guessed it. I'm pregnant! I am 5 weeks 2 days. Still pretty early, but we're pretty excited. So far I'm very tired (I have a hard time sleeping), bloated, and get morning sickness off and on through out the day. Gavin is hoping for a boy, but I'm not picky! So let's hope for a safe, healthy, and happy journey for the new Baby Taylor!

Happy Birthday?! WHATEVER!

So this year was supposed to be a big birthday. It was my 30th...as if that isn't depressing enough, the day pretty much sucked! For starters, Gavin had to work. Then it snowed like crazy! My mom agreed to go to a movie, and it was horrible trying to get there! I finally made it, after almost getting hit by a semi! After the movie, I had a little shopping to do to prepare for New Year's at my sister's house. Katie stopped by to see me with her son. I love my Katie! That was awesome, we ordered pizza and hung out. Gavin came home and surprised me with some flowers and a DVD. That was very sweet of him, and the best part of the day! Then dinner time came. You see, Gavin invited the world to my birthday dinner on his Facebook page. Out of all of the people that were invited by facebook, text, or phone calls, that said they were coming, or even inquired stating they wanted to celebrate with us, only 4 other people showed up for my birthday dinner. Kevin and Dani came, and my parents came. I seriously wanted to walk out the door and go home and crawl in bed. Or a hole. Anywhere but be there. Talk about feeling unimportant! I was so upset that I couldn't eat much. I took over half of my dinner home with me. Gavin thought I didn't like it, but I did. I was just too upset to eat it. But oh well, it's over now. I very much appreciate Gavin making the effort for my birthday, and I LOVE the flowers he got me. From now on, I give up on my birthday!
