We made our official “move” up to Phoenix last Thursday and have been busy making our trailer our new home in the Anderson’s backyard! I have to admit, as comical as this may look, it is quite cozy and comfortable and we are so grateful to the Anderson’s for opening up their doors to us and letting us make this our home away from home. With the open space for the kids to run around, ride bikes and just be kids, while also having great restaurants, shops and of course the hospital within such close proximity, it is an ideal set up given our circumstances.
We are parked in their old barn area, which is sort of behind their back yard. It’s a great shady area, again with tons of space for the kids to run and play. You can kind of see in this picture…their old horse barn is to the left and their immediate back yard is to the right over the vine wall.
Blaine came up for the weekend and then had to head back to work EARLY this am. We took the kids to the Stillman Station/ railroad park Saturday. We’ve been lucky to have such gorgeous weather lately so it was a great day at the park.
We had two more appointments on Friday, one meeting the catheterization doctor for the first time (whom we loved!) as well as another ob appointment. We learned that our little guy is already approximately 6.4 pounds, head down and considered past pre-term stage, so that was re-assuring news. Besides a couple follow-up appointments every week, we now just have to wait, wait, wait until this little boy decides he’s ready to come out!
The weekend before we left we celebrated Blaine’s 34th Birthday. That Saturday Grayson gave me quite the scare which landed us at the Urgent Care. He somehow managed to land head first on the corner of a brick, giving himself a pretty deep cut that resulted too much blood for Mama and some butterfly stiches! Here he is the following evening at Blaine’s birthday dinner, clowning around as always! Sister thought these were pretty funny too!
The kids helped me decorate the table. Can’t you tell…. we’ve got superhero masks, fangs and who knows what else we found for party favors! Just what Blaine wanted for his birthday!
Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the cooler weather! We thank you all for your continuous thoughts and prayers :-)
