Meeting Grandpa

My Dad was so excited to have his first grandchild. All of his siblings have grandchildren and some even have great-grandchildren!! Since my Dad has had his stroke and heart issues, he's grown a lot softer and gentler. He was so thrilled to get to meet his "little Willy" as he has grown accustomed to calling him.

Our Big Arrival

He Is Here!!

We are so absolutely thrilled to announce the arrival of Zachary William Walker born on Saturday March 12, 2011 at 5:28am weighing 8lbs 13oz. Zachary was delivered by emergency c-section. I will make another post all about his birth story.

We are so absolutely over the moon with our little ducky!!

Week 39

WOW!! I can't believe I have made it this far! I honestly and truly never felt like this day would come! Although this pregnancy has seemed to fly by, it still seems so long to the unknown end.

I am a very anxious and impatient person. I like to know details, I like to plan, I like to prepare and MOST of all....I HATE SURPRISES!!! Surprises give me panic attacks, they make me cry when I don't know what is happening and can't prepare myself! I used to sneak through all of my Christmas gifts so I would know what I was expecting and it gave me comfort.

Well this little Dude living inside of me doesn't know this about me...or rather, he doesn't care! I know he will come at his own pace, I know he will come into this world when he is ready and it will be perfect. But dang-nab-it, I just wanna know when he will come!

I am so ready for him to come visit us for the rest of our lives. I am ready to be a Momma and to see my parents being Grandparents. I am ready to see how my husband handles being a Daddy.

So c'mon Little Ducky!!!!!! Make your way into our lives sooner than later so that we and your far -away Grandma get a good visit!!!

Week 24

Well here we are, Week 24, and I am realizing ONE thing I don't like about being pregnant. See, I get migraines...bad ones...tension headaches...bad ones. Nothing seems to alleviate the pain but pain killers. I can't take them now. I'm sorry, but Tylenol Regular strength just don't cut it!

I love my little ducky, he is so special to me already and totally worth the pain. But, it doesn't mean i can't complain! I had a very sleepless night last night because my neck and shoulder were pounding so terribly I could not sleep. Saw a chiropractor today and a little bit of relief. I don't want to keep chowing down Tylenol, but what else do I do? I used my little hand held massager, I used a "heating" thing, nothing worked....bleh!

But then I think, well if I could actually take something stronger there is someone SOOOOO special to me already who wouldn't be here. So ya know what, I'm willing to take the extra aches and pains to be a good Mama Duck!!!!!

Heavy Heart

I am so saddened today by such devastating news. The brother of good friends of mine was tragically taken from us too early. A 31 year old husband, father, brother, son, friend had a tragic accident. He is leaving behind a beautiful wife, an energetic daughter and a spitting image son. They were also expecting a third little "nut" on the way.

I cannot even fathom what they are going through. I pray for comfort and strength for them as they go through this crazy, hectic, terrible time. I pray that family and friends are there for them and can help them through this.

I have been praying all day for God to give them some kind of explanation for this tragic event. That God gives them comfort and understanding and that they can remain strong in their faith.

I just pray that they know how much he loved them, adored them and would have done anything for them.

Blessings, Love and Faith go out to the King Family.
