The Best of this Week.

I’m posting the Best of this week a day early.  Because TOMORROW I HAVE SOME EXCITING NEWS ABOUT THE BLOG!!!  I can’t wait to reveal some new plans – so I’m going to round up this week’s feelings and posts today. 

On Monday I posted the second installment of Make Me Laugh Monday.  I’ve decided to start running.  Actually… I made a video for Biggest Loser but became so panic stricken about the idea of stepping on a scale on TV that I decided to take one last stab at running.  I have these visions of me as this long lean runner.  *sigh* We all know that isn’t going to happen, but I got some pretty funny photos (and some new ones for next week) as I attempt this venture.  Don’t forget to check it out.  And Link up if you have a funny picture you want to post. 


Then Monday night – Alexander had a seizure. I used the blog for what it was designed.  It was the outlet for my anger, frustrations, and fears.  You can read that post HERE.

After I blogged my feelings away, I really believe my heart was able to open up for the prayers that were being offered up to our family.  I was able to give some perspective to the situation.  The tone and language of the evening became reflective as I was on hour 23 of solid no sleep.  You can read more about that HERE.

Finally, we came home.  I couldn’t help but wonder what people thought of us.  People are usually only able to glimpse into little pockets of our world.  A blog that reads, “at 9am we did this. Then at 10am we did this.” wouldn’t be that interesting to read.  Instead my posts seem to be more theme related.  Our Parent Run Website – Wolfhirschhorn.org has been running a contest for an IPad.  While we were in the hospital, that contest was the last thing on my mind.  When we returned home – I thought I might pull us out of the running.  We had just received the greatest gift – a baby to come HOME from the hospital because of all the PRAYERS of our family and friends.  And then… I was reminded – aren’t you living a normal life?  Didn’t you say those seizures weren’t going to stop life?  So … we went ahead.  We’ve been running in the top few places and are extremely grateful for all the support of our friends, family, and those who just … love our little guy.  I’ve been feeling sort of overwhelmed as each time I turn on the computer another friend has shared the link.  I mean… why do we deserve such generosity? 
So my post on Wednesday was really a wrap up on the last 48 hours.  It was a way to connect the dots.  And I’ve spent most of this week trying to decide how we can DO MORE and TAKE LESS.

I have a plan.  I need everyone to swing by tomorrow as we reveal it.  I’m so excited. Beyond excited.  Super Super excited!  See you tomorrow!
