Surgery Day

The day has finally come.  Today we took Burke in to have the cyst that has formed in the lower inside of his lip off.  It was an early morning.  Taylor and I got up around 4:30 so we could get ready and get Boo up so we could be at Children's at 5:30am.

Once we got there Taylor did a lot of walking around with him.  He kept signing to us "more".  He was so hungry and we couldn't give him food or water.  That totally sucked!

Once they took him out we did pretty good.  He was crying really hard but we knew he was in good hands.  We are so grateful to Dr. Richter for getting us in so quickly and taking such good care of our little man.  We also ran into another friend that is an anesthesiologist that helped us with Burke and helped me keep my mind off everything when they wheeled him away.

After seeing all the babies and children in the waiting room knowing that some of them most likely were having really big surgeries put everything in prospective for me.  This was nothing that we were going through.

The procedure was so quick and he handled it beautifully.  I was so excited to go back and see him.  He was sipping on some apple juice in his little yellow gown when we walked back.  He started crying and guess who he wanted.... His daddy!  He wanted daddy all morning.  :)  He loves his daddy so much.

Since we have been home he had been sleeping a lot and when he has been awake he has been in the best mood.  He was being so silly I had to video him and am posting it below.  Sweet little Boo.

I am so glad that is over with!

Burke is 3!!!!!

Okay I have decided that time is going by way too fast.  Burke just turned 3 the beginning of June!  I can not believe it.  I feel like just yesterday I was in the hospital having the little guy!  We had a fun small family party and he is loving some super hero's right now so that was the theme :)  Silas really wanted to jump out when he walked in and yell surprise so that is what we did :)  Burke is super shy and he really wasn't a fan of it all.  Pibby and Pops got him his first bike and it is SO cute.   I picked up a balloon for all the kids and one special spider man one for Boo.  He has always loved balloons.  He said the sweetest thing....... he wanted to let his balloons go up to Mamie so she would know that it was his birthday.  I couldn't believe he let his special Spider Man one go.  It made me want to cry.  She should be here with us.  ANYWAYS, it was a fun day and I got some pictures of course and a few videos.  Happy 3rd Birthday Burkie BOO!  We love you so so

Baby Burke- Please Pray

Taylor and I went in for our big ultrasound this morning. I am 18 weeks along now, so they were checking out our baby boy closely. They found 2 genetic markers that caused a red flag. One cyst on the brain and his kidneys are enlarged. We need lots of prayers right now. Prayers for these markers to disappear and for our baby boy to be healthy. We also need prayers for our sanity as we wait, hope and pray. We will go back for another ultrasound in 8 weeks (March 31). We were told not to look this up on the internet and would appreciate only positive comments on this situation. God is good and we are leaving it in His hands. Thanks for your prayers, Sarah

NO FEAR!!!

I took the kids to the park this afternoon once the sun came out.  It was so beautiful and we love Woodlands Edge park.  Lots of trees, green space to run and Slides:) Winnie is small but that girl is mighty.  She has NO FEAR when it comes to the slides.  Which is totally different for me since Burke has always been so cautious.  I love days like this.  Feeling very blessed! - Sarah
