Today was Laurens blessing day. It was also her first
Sunday at church. I was a little stressed as the day started, I was worried that she cry while Cory was blessing her, and i was also afraid she would barf all over her beautiful dress. She seems to do a big throw up(and i mean like projectile vomiting) every morning. Well, after we got up i fed her and burped her really good. No barf yet and time was running out so then
Cory and
Lauren took a bath together. I was hoping that maybe the bath would help, maybe relax her tummy. We arrived to church and everything was going good until
Lauren started to cry during the opening prayer. About 10 seconds after the prayer ended they called
Cory up to give the blessing. She was still crying. Cory was especially worried because he was afraid he would lose concentration and stumble over his words. As he began blessing her she stopped crying. Me and Jill would say it was the spirit that calmed her, Grandpa Ben would say it was because he was cuddling her and Uncle John would explain that she stopped crying because he put the
Binky in her mouth. I still think it was the spirit. All and all no barf and not much crying.
Woohoo! After the blessing Lauren did amazing. She was such a happy baby. Today was probably the best she has been. Grandma Vickie says it is because she knew it was her special day.
Some of the things she was blessed with:
Grow and develop without major illnesses or problems
Identify her unique talents and skills that help her find joy
Her curiosity will lead her to seek out secular knowledge and the mysteries of God
Bless her in these times with optimism and happiness
She will find joy in her friends and family
She will have a special relationship with her sister and mother.
It sounds like her blessing day was special. I had the same worries about Reagan on his blessing day also. She looks so pretty in her little dress. I think she has a different look then Claire. They are both pretty girls.
ReplyDeleteIt was a beautiful blessing. And I deffinatly agree with Ashleigh that it was the spirit that calmed Lauren. She wanted to hear what her Daddy had to say. She was beautiful. What an angel. I'm glad we were here to witness it. It's so nice to live close to family. I know that not everyone has that oppertunity, and I don't say it to make anyone feel bad, but I have found it such a blessing in my life to have family around. I love it and I know my boys really enjoy living by Grandmas and Grandpas. I'm so glad we were able to be here for Lauren's blessing. It was beautiful. I wish all of you were close. I miss you all. This time of year really makes me think about family. I am very blessed to have all of you in my life. I love all of you.... Jill
ReplyDeleteLauren is such a sweet little baby girl. We love her very much!
ReplyDeleteAwwww,what a special day for Lauren!! And, I know exactly what you mean Jill, I didn't realize how important family is until Jonah was born. Our children draw us together as a family.
