Miracles

So my best friend Cassie had her baby today!!! Congrats!!! little Emmett Erickson was 1 lb 14 oz. Her due date was in April but he decided to come quite a bit early, the Lord works in mysterious ways.

My mom came into my room this morning toting my little boy who kept me up all night >:( and told me Cass would have to deliver the baby today due to some complications. I wasn't even as scared for my delivery as I was for today - Cass, I just want you to know I was freaking out alllll day!!! Luckily both mommy and baby are doing good, from what i hear he's a strong little fighter.

Giving birth is such a miracle. It's amazing the technology we have today, that a 3 months pre-mature baby can have a big chance at the world, to grow healthy and strong, it's amazing. I can't express how thankful I am for all of it. It's made me realize how incredibly lucky I am to have my beautiful, strong, healthy little boy. All my thoughts and prayers are with Cassie and Jared and little Emmett. Congratulations guys, I'm so happy for you!!!!

A quickie before bed...post that is ;)

So we had one spectacular and much needed weekend in San Fran! We spent last saturday at the Academy of Sciences and then shopping and then dinner at the Cheesecake atop Macy's-so romantic. And then Sunday we got to see Josh and Sarah's place-an eclectic quaint little flat by Golden Gate park. And then we all adventured to Pacifica for the afternoon-most of it spent in a nifty little antique store. Fun Fun Fun.

But then it was back to the real world, plus I sorta missed my baby. It was such a nice weekend. I wish we could do that once a month. It's weird how a little day trip can put things back into perspective. It was like the moment we got back I launched into mommy-mode and it was back to the same old routine = boring old Ashley. So here we are again...
