Clary Love

Christmas Eve Today, Blaine and I made our way to Catoosa. It was well past noon, well past lunch and by the time we arrived at our destination it was time that most were leaving.  As a child, Christmas morning constisted of waking up extra early and racing into the living room with my oldest brother Chad.  Chad and I would sneak a peak of what Santa had left while Jason and my parents slept.  We would then sneak back to our bed and wake just a few hours later till as we could no longer wait to share what Santa had brought with the rest of the family and open all that Mom and Dad had wrapped up for us.  Mom always fixed the same breakfast, prepared the night before so we could eat while we unwrapped the gifts.  Side note but so many Christmas' we ate or had to pull the plactic wrap out of the food cause mom had cooked it forgetting to take it off before putting it in the oven... still funny!  Dad would then...

My oh My, I can't believe my little man is almost 3 months old.  Oh the trials that we have encountered in the last 3 months but the joys overwhelm the trials.  God has done so much and I write this as my thank you. Thank you to God for creating the most amazing creation in Blaine.  He is perfect because you made him. Thank you to Bobby for being an amazing father who stays at home with Blaine 3 days a week.  I know you are tired.  Your sacrifice for our family and your son is a blessing the the bond between you and Blaine, even at 3 months is beautiful. Thank you to Mom and Dad for your support and help.  Mom, thanks for watching Blaine each Friday and on days when things get crazy at work.  You are amazing with him and it will never be forgotten that you were willing to care for him so would not have to put Blaine in child care. Dad, thanks for allowing us to borrow your truck for 2 months while Bobby worked on our car.  You provided sa...

My sweet boy Blaine Robert Clary was born September 7th, 2011. He was 8.02 pounds and 20.5 inches long.    Blaine has dark eyes and brown hair and some adorable cheeks. This is the Robert Clary first family picture with Blaine just moments after his grand arrival. After leaving the hospital Blaine had a high amount of jaundice and was given his own tanning bed to help get the jaundice out of his body. This sweet boy kept having struggles in his first 3 weeks of life.  Jaundice, then no weight gain, allergic reaction to formula (milk), loss of weight down to 6.11 pounds and last but not least a clogged tear duct.  But on week 4, thanks to soy sensitive formula my boy gained weight and has continued to do so! I will say that being a mother is the most wonderful experience I have had in my life.  The nine months of pregnancy and 30 years of life experience did not prepare me for the joy, wonder and love I would experience but God and his intimate love ha...

Tonight the wait is just not bearable.... Why did God design pregnancy to be 9 months, 40 weeks or 280 days? The Bible says that children are a blessing to the Lord and to their parents, this I would agree.  " Proverbs 17:6 NIV  Children's children are a crown to the aged, and parents are the pride of their children." I would like to hold my blessing in my arms, to see his face, to touch his skin and to kiss his face.  I want to see each and every detail of what he looks like and get to know his temperament out side my belly, although I feel I know a good portion of his temperament now. I want to see Bobby see him for the first time, to hold him, to father him, to pray over him and to rock him to sleep.  I want to see what God designed from Bobby and I. I want to give physical love to this child I have bore for since last December.  I want him OUT! Blaine is predicted to be born on Sept 7th, 2011 but each day, the closer we get time just see...
