Baby Room

Aaron and Tricia worked hard all afternoon on Saturday to paint. I appreciate them doing it so much. The lighting on the pictures is not great so I will try to get more pictures to put up once we get everything together in the room that will hopefully be better. I planted flowers and cooked dinner while they worked. We have been having gorgeous summer weather here. It's been in the 80's all week so a great time to work outside.
This Saturday we also did our registry stuff at Target. I had registered for a few things online before we went to the store, but we finished it up (I think). Anyway, if any of you are curious, feel free to look. If you see an important item that should be on there that we haven't thought of, let me know. We are in over our head when it comes to baby equipment.
Tomorrow is a doctor's appointment, King Tut exhibit, and we are helping with the apartment ministry kick-off party our church is doing that evening. I don't know how we keep getting one day so loaded instead of spreading everything out but events seem to build up quick.
Hope all of you are not too droopy eyed from the time change!

I have been wanting to go see that King Tut exhibit! I heard it was really interesting. You'll have to let me know if it is recommended! I agree that the weather has been wonderful...not looking forward to the cold front later this week. I'm going to have to go to Target and check you guys out! :-)

I thought it was to rain yesterday, which made me happy because then I could put down weed n feed today. NO such luck. Supposed to rain today- I have my doubts. I'm ready to do yard work, though! I'm especially ready to plant my vegetable garden. The room looks great!

Hi Holly!

I was just looking at your registry and make sure you add things like bottles for the milk you pump, plastic sheets for under the cotton ones, and a bouncer or swing (for when you are cooking dinner!) If you are not opposed to hand-me-downs I have quite a bit of stuff that is unisex that Aiden no longer uses. If you are interested I can mail some things to you. I just need your address. PLease e-mail nme and let me know. SLenann@aol.com
Enjoy her while she is little because she will grow so fast!

Love,

Getaway to Ticks Bend....I Mean Beavers Bend State Park

 Back in April, we decided we needed to do a short family getaway after the semester was over. The last time we'd been on vacation just to vacation (not going to see family in CO) was when we went to San Antonio when Maddy was 3 months old. We found Beavers Bend State Park close to Broken Bow, OK and decided to go there. We booked a cabin in the state park and eagerly awaited the day we could take off for our getaway. We left on Sunday afternoon and stayed through Tuesday afternoon. It was short, but so fun and relaxing. We had no computer and no cell phones while we were up there. We just got to enjoy being around each other and the beautiful scenery.  We built a fire and roasted some marshmallows. Also popped some jiffy pop. Aaron had never done one of those before.  This is a 100 year old cabin they had at the visitor center. I like the mud chinking ( I think that's what it's called). A couple named Comma and Mabel lived in the cabin when the CCC was building the

Another Sonogram

We went to the high risk pregnancy doc today for another sonogram. This time he could see all four chambers of the heart, the pulmonary valve, etc. In his words it looked "dramatically better". He feels there is still some slight compression on the heart and that we need to continue watching it. As of now he cannot see anything that is causing it and the MRI did not see anything either. He also felt that the hands were okay. They are not clenched fists at least as he first thought, meaning that the fingers aren't overlapping each other. Her hands are still in fists and she won't open them but he said he has had other babies that have not opened their fist in the sonogram but the hands have been normal at birth, so we still have a lot of hope for those little hands. He was able to get a better look at the face today, no cleft palate, so that is a huge blessing. The feet are still concerning. They are definitely clubbed but she is also not moving them. She is moving her

One Year Ago Today

One year ago today we found out we were having a little girl. One year ago today, the OB called us into his office and told us that Maddy was not going to survive. One year ago today God heard the prayers of many friends and family and he started working a miracle. One year ago today I thought I would never see my precious little girl alive. One year ago today I was so shocked I didn't and couldn't feel anything but disbelief. One year ago today, God started planning that today a little girl named Madeline Mae Fletcher would be by my side as I write this, talking and playing with her stuffed cow that Aunt Tammy gave her. One year ago today God set out to prove that he is faithful and he hears his people's prayers and that he still does miracles. Today is bittersweet because one year ago today our dreams and plans we had for our new life with our baby girl were destroyed. But one year ago today God started making a new plan to give us a different dream and a different plan.
