Messed Up Appointment!

It was a busy day of appointments again.  But this day was not filled with appointment for Hannah.  I knew it was going to be a long day in town so I planned ahead made sure Hannah's stuff was ready to go and packed in the van.  I even planned to time I got up to feed Hannah in the middle of the night so the timing would be perfect for leaving in the morning.  I had to get up early to get Hannah fed and dressed, myself shower, dressed and feed and then make sure the rest of the children were dressed and fed and ready to be out of the house by 8:30.  It was hard to get going because I was so tried and really would have loved to sleep a bit longer this morning! 

We leave in time with all the supplies to feed Hannah for the 6 hour time we would be gone from home.  At 9am all the children had an appointment at the dentist for their teeth cleaning!  So that means we will be at the dentist office until noon!!   I could do this with Hannah and try to function like a normal family.  I walk into the dentist office with all the children including Hannah.  Only to find out my appointment was in 2 days!  I felt like crying,  how did that happen?  I remember making that appointment, while I was on the phone I was writing on the calendar!  How did I manage that?  Well they were kind enough to do 3 of the children.  While I sat in the waiting room with the rest of the children.  Martin took time to hold Hannah.  He really loves to hold his special baby sister!  I treasure the moments in my heart the times that Hannah's older brothers held her and loved on her! 

We were only in the dentist office for an hour or so!!  Not the 3 hours I had planned.  In my mind I had planned this whole day out.  Dentist office in the morning, then lunch out with the children and then moms doctor appointment while the children waited in the van.  Funny how things don't always work out when you have it planned so detailed in your mind! 

I had Martin drive home in the van, while I sat and pumped milk for Hannah while Cassie fed Hannah.  It worked out.  I had Martin just drive home.  We did not need to hang in town for 3 1/2 hours waiting for moms appointment.  I am so thankful that Martin could drive me and the children home!  It helped me DEstress!

At home I had the children do some school, while I relaxed with Hannah. I sat on the couch and was available for questions on school work. 

At 1pm.  I loaded Hannah in the van and together we head to Dr. Bynum.  Dr. Bynum was the doctor I had been seeing for my pregnancy with Hannah until Hannah became too high risk and she needed to be delivered at a hospital with a NICU.  Anyway,  I was at my appointment for a 6 week follow up after delivery.  I was so glad to introduce Hannah to Dr. Bynum and his nurses.  It was a joy to me and to them!!  What a blessing to them to meet Hannah Grace!  They did not think they'd ever get to see my baby! 

At 4 pm.  Hannah's occupational therapist came to work with Hannah and explain their plan of helping Hannah!  I love Hannah's therapist Shaun!  What a joy to work with her! 

In the evening the kids have Awana's.  Martin brings them every Tuesday evening and lately Martin has been picking them up.  But today I told him I wanted to pick up the children because I wanted to show off Hannah Grace!  Mrs. Lee loved holding Hannah! What a blessing to me to have Heather hold her.  She just took so much pleasure holding her.  I showed Hannah off to many there!  Of course I am so proud of my special little girl!  I love showing her off! 

We got home, got the children to bed and sat down to feed and snuggle Hannah. I love you sweet girl!

Psalms 139

 1O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me.
 2Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.
 3Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.
 4For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.
 5Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.
 6Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
 7Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
 8If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
 9If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
 10Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
 11If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
 12Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
 13For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
 14I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
 15My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
 16Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
 17How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
 18If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.
 19Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.
 20For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.
 21Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
 22I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
 23Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
 24And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

Love, Sandi Kwant (Hannah's mommy)
