Choose Life!

Today I went to the Dr. for my 12 week check-up and got to hear our baby's heartbeat. That is ALWAYS such an AWESOME thing to me because it PROVES that there is life growing inside me. I just CANNOT comprehend why ANYONE thinks abortion is even right. That little baby is a life that God, himself, created and it is a living, breathing, human being. When will this perverted world see that abortion is MURDER? I found a poem that is just SO good!

The best pro-life poem ever written (by Mary Murphy)

Just a little baby
So small and petite
Waits with his mom
In the hospital seat.

“Where am I, I wonder
What do I look like?
Will my name be John..
Or will she call me Mike?

I can’t wait to see
what it’s like outside
It’s getting a little crowded,
In this place I ride.

I must be getting heavy,
I bet she cannot wait,
Maybe she’ll have me early
…hopefully I wont be late.

I’m getting so impatient…
I want to see the land,
Oh look here comes the doctor!”
The doctor takes her hand.

“What is he telling her?
I can’t quite make it out,
but mommy’s voice sounds scared,
so full of fear and doubt.
 

I hope she is okay,
I’ll comfort her before long,
I cant wait to meet her!
Now what could be going wrong?

Here comes all the nurses,
They are lying her in a bed,
I know this isn’t home,
what could the doctor have said?

Are those tears on her face?
I don’t like it here,
My mommy isn’t happy,
And I’m beginning to fear.

What… me, Fetus?
I don’t like that name,
I want my mom to name me,
but she seems too ashamed.

Mom I’ll be a good son,
I will make you smile,
just wait till you see me,
I’ll be there in a little while.

I’m so excited to see you,
I bet you’re beautiful and bright,
Because I’ve seen your face,
In my dreams each night.

Mommy, did that nurse call me tissue?
Don’t listen to them please.
Because you must know I’m here,
I’m not just some disease.

I have fingers like you do,
And a face I know you’ve seen,
The doctor showed me to you,
On that one black screen

What are all those tools for?
They better not hurt you,
For if they harm you one bit,
I’ll harm them too.

Ouch that hurt…
What’s happening to me?
be very gentle,
I’m only a baby.

Mommy do something,
they are trying take my life,
why are you letting them cut me
with that knife.

What’s going on,
Your shaking,
At least its not your life,
These nurses are taking.

Mommy, I’m up higher now,
I see you down below,
I’m safe here but disappointed,
Because I loved you so.

How’s Life without me?
Doesn’t look so great.
I wish I could be there to help,
But now it’s too late.

I’m not alone here, don’t worry
There are other baby’s too,
they all are here for the same reason,
we all had moms like you.

Each day I see new faces,
all scratched up and torn,
these are all the faces,
Of the precious unborn.

God says he’s sorry,
that we never got to live,
and never had the chance,
to see what He tried to give.

One little girl I met,
Was going to cure cancer.
But now her mom has got it,
And the world’s without an answer

So many brilliant people,
Fill this place I now stay.
They all had a place in the world,
But that place was taken away.

God’s curious about,
What’s going through your head.
He sent you a precious gift,
But you chose pain instead.

Mother I am sorry,
that you where so mistaken,
the nurses all told lies,
and so my life was taken.

Some people down there know,
That abortion is wrong,
they are trying to stop it,
but they are taking too long.

They need more help you see,
Because they are so small,
Just like my friends and me,
You couldn’t hear our call.

Where a kid can be a kid!

Today me and the kiddos went to Chuck E. Cheese with Brandi...it was kind-of a late celebration for GiGi's birthday. GiGi got two games from Uncle Ben and Aunt Brandi...Hi-Ho Cherry-O and Dora Memory. She was SO excited and, of course, we had to play with them when we got home.  GiGi had never been to Chuck E. Cheese and she LOVED it. Like Forest Gump, she ran and ran and just kept running. You could tell that her little eyes just couldn't quite take everything in. 

 Her favorite thing was climbing up into the tunnels and going down the slide which is funny b/c I really didn't think she would even go up there. She loved riding all the rides too. She didn't really get the concept that if she played the games, she would get tickets and could get a prize so...needless to say, we have a TON of tokens left over. I guess we'll just have to plan another trip to Chuck E. Cheese.

Christian surprised me today too. He ate pizza for the first time. GiGi would NEVER eat that kind of stuff at his age. Like I've said before, I think he is going to eat us out of the house!

It was a fun day with Brandi and the kiddos...wore preggo mama out though! We ALL took a LONG nap when we got home! More memories made! :)

Happy Fall Y'all!

Today me and the kiddos went apple picking with my dad and mom. We had such a good time. GiGi and Christian enjoyed the wagon ride and GiGi LOVED being NaNa's helper in the apple orchard. Just watching her was SO sweet. You could tell that she was looking for the very best apple and trying to really do a good job to help NaNa. FINALLY, she found the RIGHT apple...she found this HUGE red apple and she ate on it till she couldn't eat it anymore. 

While I picked some apples, I sat Christian in the grass and he was looking around and trying to grab apples. I saw a lady looking and pointing at him and I look over and...he's eating grass. WHAT A HOOT!

GiGi got to pick out a pumpkin. NaNa wanted her to have a big one but GiGi kept going for a little one so...OF COURSE she got both. She was SO thrilled to be getting those pumpkins.

It's just always amazing to me, wherever I go, to look around and see God's creation. ALL those apple trees and to think they all came from a seed. The weather was GORGEOUS too. It just kills me when people say there's no God and yet they see His handy-work EVERYDAY, all around them! God is SO good!

After we left the orchard, we went to a restaurant called the Fin Inn. Every table has a fish tank at it and GiGi was AMAZED at the fish. She kept telling Christian, "These fish are nice AND they're just pretend". LOL! 

It was just a WONDERFUL day all around. I always enjoy spending time with my parents. They are just the best parents ever. What AWESOME examples they have always been to our family. Mom and I, on the wagon ride back, saw 2 things that reminded us of Grandma Angie. The driver stopped at the pumpkin patch and we picked up these two ladies and two children and the older lady REALLY resembled my dear Grandma. Then we saw this big bunch of gords...my Grandma used to grow them and that's a memory I have of her old house. She always had gords hanging around and some were even made into bird houses. Oh yeah...there was one more thing....when we were eating lunch mom said that she had brought Grandma to the Fin Inn one time and they ordered a bloomin' onion b/c Grandma had NEVER heard of one. Mom said Grandma was so cute eating it and she wanted to take the rest home. SWEET MEMORIES! It made me think...things are just that...THINGS! but memories are FOREVER! I want to always hold on to the memories I have made and continue to make in my life!
