What a day!!!

Today has been, well a day. I had my usual weekly appointment with the perinatologist, I went in thinking everything was great and there were no problems, after 2hrs of the doctor looking and checking everything, things were not great. Samuel is good however he is growing, kicking and doing all of things that a baby this far along should be doing. I am not doing great though apparently, my cervix has now decided that it has a mind of its own and apparently is not holding our precious Samuel in place as it should. So after meeting with the doctor he recommended that I have a cerclage, and honestly at this point I would do anything including standing on my head to make sure this baby stay right where he should be until it is a safe time for him to join us. So tomorrow I will go in for surgery and if everything goes well I should be able to go home on Saturday. My surgery is a little different being that I am a good bit further along than most patients when they have this done. But we know that God is in control and that he will protect baby Samuel and hopefully keep me from going completely insane in the process. As if that was not enough for today after spending all morning and afternoon at the hospital I got home to make sure I was here for Maddie Grace after school. The afternoon was fine, homework, snack, etc.. Until she came out from mine and Kyle's bathroom with her children's scissors in hand, saying look mom I wanted bangs. I think every bit of color must have left my face and I felt sick, not only had she cut herself, SHORT bang, she had cut hunks out of other parts of her hair. What makes child do this is beyond me. But after an emergency run to the salon Maddie Grace is the proud owner of a bob with bangs, and although it will take some getting use to is actually pretty cute, I could have dealt with the short bob a lot better with out the bangs and without all the emotion of the day. But as my sweet husband says, honey it is just another memory to look back on.
We had enjoyed a great month of January before all of this, we had a girls weekend in Atlanta, me, my mom, sister, nieces and Maddie Grace we went to see "Annie" at the Fox which was great and then enjoyed a trip out to the American Girl store, it was lots of fun. And of course baseball started this week as well adding to all of the mess. Please keep us in your prayers, and as soon as possible I will post pictures of our sweet Maddie Grace and her new do.
