A lullaby for me!

I have 2 sick babies in the house today.   

My Abe, of course, is dealing with his daily stomach problems and he's cranky because I think he's feeling yucky on top of his stomach issues. My sweet Kev has been running a high fever and feeling terrible with the crud and cough and the whole nine. Poor guy! He actually had a day off and he's sick! I have also been feeling yucky for several days now with the crud, soar throat and headaches. So, it's been a long and stressful day here in the Guffey house. I say all that to tell you about a scripture lullaby CD my mom and dad got for Abraham.

It's pure scripture and absolutely beautiful! 

After a long night with Kevin not sleeping because his fever was so high and Abraham up all night screaming, I was running on zero sleep and ready to cry for MY mommy to take care of me! I turned this CD on to try and calm Abe and it ended up calming me! Just as I was to my breaking point I heard this song:

"Don't you worry about anything
Instead pray about everything
Tell God what you need
And thank Him for all He has done"
(Taken from Phil. 4:6-7)

Man, I really needed to hear that! It caused me to step out of the situation and see all that God has done for Kevin and I. It caused me to pray differently then I had been all day. I was praying for God to help me with patients and to get through the day but I was only praying half the prayer! I am so thankful for my boys and my life, no matter how hard it gets sometimes. Scripture is so powerful!!! I am so thankful for God's word and promises!

Thank you Jesus for all you've done!!!

 Needless to say, I HIGHLY recommend this Scripture Lullaby CD for your babies. Heck, I highly recommend it for anyone! Go to http://scripture-lullabies.com/ to listen/buy.


Side note - We were suppose to paint the nursery today but that obviously didn't happen. The furniture has been ordered so that's exciting! Slow and steady wins the nursery, right? Whatever.

My Husband

I wanted to brag a little A LOT about my husband because I love him SOOOOO much!

He is so helpful and thoughtful. He does laundry AND cooks AND cleans all without me ever asking. (I know, right!!) He is always asking if there is anything he can do to help out around the house. He is hard working and I never have to worry about him providing for our family. He is a "go getter" and has already had 3 raises/promotions since working for TVA (3 years in Nov.) He is a wonderful daddy and only gets better as the days and weeks go by. He's such a quick learner. He had no clue how to change a diaper before Abe came along and now I think he's better at it then I am. He is always quick to help others out and our friends and family know they can call him for anything. I love that about him. He teaches and leads Sunday school and small group at our church and I think he does a pretty dern good job. I love to watch him read and study God's word and I love that he will be that example for Abe one day too. I love him to pieces. To pieces I tell ya!!!

Today was no exception to what a wonderful man Kevin is. He surprised me with a sweet card and my favorite candy. In the card he declared today "Jess Day". He got up early for work so he could feed Abraham and take him to my mom's house for the whole day! I was able to sleep in and it was glorious! I slept until noon and I am proud of it! I probably could have slept longer because I was SO. TIRED. Then he scheduled an hour long massage for me as well as a manicure and pedicure. We topped off the day with dinner at one of my favorite places to eat. Isn't he the best?!

Anyway, a little side note on how BIG my son has gotten! He went from wearing newborn clothes right into 3 month clothes! I don't know how it happened. I just woke up one morning and tried to dress him and the next thing I knew, he was a big boy wearing big boy clothes. He can't even fit into the 0-3 month stuff! He skipped over those.

Little baby Abe................Abe the chunker

What am I going to do with this child?! Is it too early to put him in the corner? My nephew Jax doesn't think it's too early. I was at my sister's house Monday night and Abraham was sitting in my sister's lap flailing his arms like babies do and Jax got "hit" in the face. Jax looked up at my sister and said with the saddest, cutest little face you can imagine, "mommy, Abe hit me. Hims needs to go in that corner" as he pointed to a corner in the room. Ha! My sister and I were cracking up! 

That's all for now!
