Baby Garrett





As you can see Garrett arrived on December 18th at 8:03 am. I had to have a c-section because he was breech. Things around here are busy around here especially now that my mom is not here any more. She was here all week and I am so thankful for all of her help. Garrett weighed 7.6; exactly the same as Maddison and was 20 inches long. While I was in the hospital Maddison did not like being there. She did not want to have anything to do with brother or mom. It really broke my heart. Now that we are home she is like a new person. She wants to hold Garrett, gives him lots of kisses, and wants to help out a little.

Yesterday was a special day for us. We celebrated Jacque's birthday by purchasing our christmas tree, and decorating it. We decided to get a real tree this year. We love how it turned out and know that Jacque would love it. This is something that we are going to continue to do every year in remembrance of Jacque. We miss her so much, but know that she is with us all the time.

Tis The Season

It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas around the Gipson house. Maddison has a tree in her room this year, so we will see how long it stands upright. This year we are starting a new tradition. Jacque's birthday was December 8, and since she is no longer with us we are, as a family going to go get our tree (a real one) and put it up. I have never had a real tree before, and Jason grew up with a real tree. I am excited to make this a time of a happy remembrance. We miss her so much, but on a daily basis it seems like she is still here. She would be so proud of us for thinking of her on her birthday.

Garrett is breech as of now, with only 14 days to go until my induction. I went to the doctor today and she also scheduled a c-section. When the time comes we will see where he is and do what needs to be done. Please pray that he turns, and gets in the correct position between now and then. That's all for now.
