A Gift from God
For the record, I tried posting this at 10am this morning but the server this blog resides on had issues today…
Today we celebrate the mothers in our lives. Moms, grandmothers, daughters who are now mothers. It’s a wonderful thing to celebrate and this year I have one extra mommy to be thankful for and it’s (obviously) my beautiful wife. She’s done a fantastic job being a mom these past 10 months and I’m so thankful I have her as my wife and Brady has her as a mommy. Brady apparently was saving up for a while because she got mommy an Edible Arrangement for Mommy’s Day. Unfortunately Daddy couldn’t afford anything like that (he gave all his money to Brady) so he just gave mommy a card. Read the rest of this entry »
It is so wonderful being able to take our little girl out and about freely now. We waited so long to be able to do this and now that the time is here we are having a blast. We’ve been able to take her to a number of places (restaurants, malls, etc) and she is just such a good baby. Today marks the first day we were able to be in church as a family. This is obviously more meaningful to us than the malls etc. Read the rest of this entry »
Yesterday was the much anticipated March for Babies in our Savannah area. I must say that we have been super excited about the walk and everything involved with it. Read the rest of this entry »
Erik and I obviously started this blog with the intention of keeping everyone up to date with Brady’s progress, but this post is going to be a little different. Read the rest of this entry »
March for Babies is coming up fast and we are very excited to be a part of it. We’ve mentioned before on the blog that we are our local area’s Ambassador Family for The March of Dimes. It’s an honor to have that part in such a wonderful organization. We’re still raising money toward our goal so if anyone is interested in donating as little as $1 or as much as you would like - here is how: Read the rest of this entry »
Hey there everyone. I haven’t written a real blog on here since December 20th so I thought it was about time we changed that!
Life has been quite busy as you might imagine. There are some days when I’m able to stop and just look at where we are and man are we blessed! Brady had her NICU follow-up and it went very well. We didn’t really know what to expect but it turns out that she’s doing quite well. It’s great that they offer those follow-ups for free like they do. It really shows that they care about the development of the NICU babies even after they get to go home. Read the rest of this entry »
Well, it has been an interesting 2 months. We have been to the doctor more weeks than not in the past 2 months. It’s insane really. We were counting our blessings that Brady had not been sick and then we had not been sick. Those well days ended. When I think about it they came to a crashing halt. Brady has been more sick than not, but thankfully most of the illnesses ( all different ) were very mild and our happy baby was still a happy baby even when vomiting and with an ear infection. The Lord has truly blessed us with a mild mannered and happy baby. We couldn’t ask more. Read the rest of this entry »
Thanks to my beautiful wife we took some time to get new pictures online. We’ve added them to Flickr so they should show up in the picture boxes to the right. You can see how fun Brady has become. We also had a photo shoot with the talented Alicja Colon this past Saturday so we will share some of those photos soon as well. If you want any family photography be sure to look into Alicja for the shoot. She’s great!
Until next time…
Brady is doing much better. Her antibiotics have helped a whole lot and she is on the mend. This week has been pretty great. Brady has been this crazy happy baby. I’ve gotten reports of no tear days. How amazing is that? What baby goes a whole day without crying? Mine does! I wish all of you could see that sweet little smile. Her whole face lights up and my heart melts.

The title says it all. Brady has had a tough couple of weeks. About 2 weeks ago she had some sort of stomach bug which included lots of nasty diapers and several projectile vomiting episodes along with decreased appetite. That lasted about a week and when she finally gets back to eating normal this snotty nose appears. At first we didn’t think too much about it, but then a cough started. Read the rest of this entry »
Brady Faith was brought into this world 12 weeks premature. This was a result of mommy having pre-eclampsia and there being a reverse blood flow to/from the placenta. Brady wasn't growing like she should and it would have just gotten worse. She weighed 1lb 7oz and was 11 3/4in long. To learn more about Brady and her family click here.
