Squeaks

Since I live almost an hour from home I only get too see the BMan once a week...I know he is not even two weeks old yet, but I have only got to see him twice...and it is KILLING me....so I think, but tonight while I was in the library my phone rang, and it was Katie...so of course I answered it, and we chatted for a bit....as we were about to hang up I heard the squeak that made my day:) I was unable to see the BMan yesterday as planned, and I was totally bummed...TOTALLY...
....but tonight the littlest noise that made my day/night:)

Who knew someone so small could steal my heart:o)

Support.....

As I sit in this library writing a paper...okay so this is not a paper, but I got side tracked...imagine that:) Anyway, it was brought to my attention the other day here at school that I am too supportive of my brother and Katie. I have been battling these comments, the questions, and I am sure talking behind my back for awhile and it finally hit me the wrong way. That way being when I was showing pictures of BMan too a few students, and one of them looked at me and said "are the parents married?" I answered honestly, and they responded by "how can you support something that you know is wrong in Gods eye?" Fighting back the tears, and thoughts of wanting to totally lash out at them I simply looked at them and said "I am supportive because I know my brother would be just as supportive, and I know in my heart God knew what he was doing when He created Braden." I shouldn't have to defend myself when things happen and why I support the things I do.

Being a Christian does not make my heart hard, does not make me judge people for what they do. I have made mistakes that are no more bigger then an unplanned pregnancy. Many of those mistakes were not made until I became a Christian and became a student at a Chrisitan college. We all make mistakes and it the mistakes that help us grow and realize we were wrong that make us closer to God.

I met God in a whole new way the first time I looked at Braden. Braden doesnt know all the things I have done, thoughts I have had, but he will always know his aunt Danielle has loved him from the very beginning. I am SO proud of Brandon and Katie. Brandon has not missed a doctor's appointment, has become something that not every 19 year man will become in the same situation. He is a daddy, and he is doing an AEWSOME job. I am very proud of Katie....she went through 9 months of changes, 2 and a half hours of labor, and one heck of a delivery to get this little man here, she has taken to the role like a pro and I cannot be any prouder.

So, if you are reading this and have ever had this thought please know that my brother has never or will ever get the feeling I don't care. I love him. I am supportive because I know that in God's eye this was apart of His plan, and Braden was given to us for a reason.

It's a baby!!!

I spent most of the afternoon with Braden, Brandon and Katie...and if you count my mom her too:) I was more interested in the baby. He is growing up already. He has a small hate towards being naked, and its HILARIOUS.....he likes the binky, and loves his daddy....so far Brandon can settle him down pretty fast...unless he is eating and then he is a mommy's boy:) He is VERY alert, likes to look at whoever is holding him....unless you are in front of a window...he then looks outsidc.
I am SO proud of Brandon and Katie. They have really adjusted well, and have became parents that care, get nervous but at the sametime are letting him grow. I was really excited to see a stack of books on Katie's nightstand nest to the glider thing.

Braden went on his first outing at 4 days old....he was so CUTE in his coat that is a 6 months...LOL....he looked like an Eskimo.

The littlest lucky charm!!!!

Ohio State vs. Illinois....

Is REALLY want I wanted to see in the Big 10 tournament championship game this afternoon, but since Illinois played like a bunch of girls and lost....we all know it was an Ohio State vs. Purdue game, and because I am a TRUE orange and blue fan I had to rout for Purdue, so I am now unoffically a Purdue Boilermakers fan.....never thought I would say it....

I do know it is going to make my Human Resource Team Leader at Target VERY happy to hear that.....

GO GOLD AND BLACK!!!!!!

MERIDIAN WINS!!!

MERIDIAN HAWKS ARE STATE CHAMPS:)

Over the weekend my former high school took the class 1A State Championship home to Macon!!!! The team finished 31-2 and this was the first state win for any sport for the school. Although, I did not graduate from there it still has a special place in my heart....

WAY TO GO HAWKS!!!!!!

6 days....

and NO dialation.....or contractions that count.

the waiting....

This the hardest part.
I know I will get to see a baby on March 20th, so I will wait, but if he wants to come sooner.....I am MORE then ready to meet him....we are 9 days away, and he has shown NO interest in coming:) VERY STUBBORN just like his daddy and aunt.......
I will wait:) Just keep praying and WAIT with me.....

"I love you"

Most of you that follow these random babblings of mine have probably realized somewhere that my little brother and I are pretty close, and that we are. Tonight I was talking to him on Facebook and out of nowhere he wrote and said "I love you." That melted my heart. It made my day...at like 12:45 in the morning, but I get to go to bed tonight knowing that he really does love me, and even though we fight, argue and all those other sibling things he knows at any moment I will always be there.

Over the last 5 months I have watched my little brother...the hockey star, football player, racecar fan turn into something that not everyone can turn into at 19 and that is "daddy." Many people have asked why I am so supportive..knowing I go to the Christian collge and am active in a church. I am supportive because I know if the table was turned and I was standing in this almost mommy situation he would be there and he would not turn his back. He knws I have made mistakes, and he knows that everything I have done I have learned from it, but he has NEVER turned his back, and he knows that I will always be there for him.

Sure I am maybe too supportive, but he is my brother and I love him....hes my best friend.

Myron Scott....

Let me give you a small look into the girls in my family......I have two sisters one that is married and one that is single, and then we were blessed with Katie about three years ago.....when we get together somedays I think we are worse then the boys (we are just smart enough NOT to eat dog treats) anyway at the shower the other day my sisters all three of them decided that they were going to name my nephew, so they came up with a name and now EVERYONE is calling my unborn nephew "Myron Scott."

I am asking all my friends, and anyone that reads this to PRAY thay Brandon and Katie stick with Aiden Christopher, and dont fall into the trap of our INSANE family.....

Myron Scott what is wrong with this group:P
