Yesterday, Reid and I went to the mall to meet with the wonderful leaders and ladies of my former infertility Bible study/support group, In His Time (Ecc.). How absolutely wonderful to see all the miracle babies God has provided!! Some were adopted, some were conceived w/ medical assistance, some were conceived naturally...but all are miracles! (I think all babies are miracles, anyways, but especially this group's!) What a happy reunion!
We enjoyed a nice chat with everyone, then went to eat at the food court (I took a detour to take advantage of the nursing mothers' room...great!). It was so fun! Since we were at the mall (I hate going to the mall, especially now with a kid!), I needed a couple more nursing bras, so we hit one store and Reid was DONE. As soon as we were in the car and moving, I figured one more stop wouldn't hurt, so we made a quick stop at Mardel (Christian store/teacher supply) since I had a gift card I'd been wanting to use. (Thanks, Ian and family!!) It was funny b/c we ran into several teachers and the counselor from my school just in the short amount of time we were there. I found sooo many cute things for my classroom, but limited myself. Reid was very happy little guy and cooed and talked with me the whole time. But then, again, he was DONE all of a sudden, so we checked out and left. He was immediately asleep...possibly even a record of 10 seconds within moving! When I got us home, here's what I found:
Later that evening, we did Reid's first "faux hawk"...but the picture doesn't really do it justice. Still cute, though:
And here's our little cranky guy. He has been doing the cutest (or saddest?) little pouty lip before he cries lately, but I can't seem to quite get a pic of it. So this is the best I've been able to capture so far...
Today he has been TOTALLY cranky, so I'm hoping tomorrow's better. It's his first day at our "official" sitter's house. I'm sure he will do fine, but please pray for me!! I totally cried at inservice on Thursday because we had to bring a picture of a child who's special to us (of course, I brought Reid's pic) and list things we hope for them and things that are our biggest fears. My biggest fear is that he won't know who I am, or worse...won't care and will like the sitter more (and who could blame him? I have to leave him for 9 hrs a day!!). For some reason, God wants me back teaching this year, so I'm doing my best to have a good attitude about leaving Reid. Thank goodness for a great team, great school, and great admin! And I am relying on LOTS and LOTS of prayer ;)
