Tuesday's Update:

Hey guys, just wanted to give you a quick Hingley family update. I've been meaning to post more, but William's baby (that's the only nickname that's stuck so far) has been keeping me in a horizontal position. I know I've heard at least a dozen women say that they didn't have "morning sickness", but rather "all day sickness". Ladies and gentlemen, that is what we have here. I have yet to "get sick", if you will, but I feel as if I am going to 24/7. Oh happy is the day that I feel like I am a human rather than a walking ball-o-gook. There ya go. That's my update....

...Here's William's:

Sweet Wip has been the best boy a mom could ask for over the past couple of days. While I have had to rest, sip on ginger ale, and munch on ginger snaps, he played quietly right next to me. I swear (even though it's quite unlady-like) that he didn't even tear out! By 9 am he usually has handed me all the pictures off every table in our home, taken all the magnets off the fridge, and peed on the floor. Thank GOD that the past couple of days he has not decided to partake in any of these activities. Other than being my angel, Wipee has played outside, gone to the pool, played with his dear friend Alie, and enjoyed a shopping trip to Trader Joes.

Sean has been healing up quite nicely and is nearly done with his antibiotic. I thought that I healed up quick until I saw Sean's progress. He is already down to one band-aid....seriously?! That's all God, baby. I am so grateful that he is feeling better (and I don't have any selfish motives...at all).

Please continue to pray for our family and William's sweet baby. He is just so stinkin' cute these days. Whenever we tell him to kiss the baby he runs over to me, pulls up my shirt, and kisses my belly (or fat pooch). I sincerely doubt that he has the slightest idea of what he is doing, but I love that he's a fast learner!

My specific prayer these days are for energy, a positive attitude, and the desire to function has a normal human being (I would totally stay in PJs all day if I could....and I do). Also, please pray for both of my baby's health, safety, and well-being....something that it never far from my mind.

I have my first official midwife appointment on Friday and I am so excited. I will definitely post with an update for you all! Have a great night and an even better tomorrow!

Sunday's child

I wanted to share some pictures from today with you all. William had a wonderful afternoon filled with lots of naked fun... Just take a look for yourself:

Yep, that's right, my son belongs in a nudest colony with his crooked crack/ jelly belly/ farmer's tan physique (And if it wasn't oober creepy, I'd be joining him)!

On another note, I have a very important prayer request for you all. Today Sean came to me with a concerned look on his face. Sean does not get concerned looks. When Sean looks worried it makes me terribly nervous. Anyway, he proceeded to show me that he has a stye appearing on his eye as well as a large bump on his thigh. OH SWEET MRSA! You know, of course, what my reaction was!

Sean is going to see our doctor tomorrow morning, so please pray that he'll be able to take care of everything there and not have to run around town to a specialist (as I had to). Also, please pray that he does not have MRSA. Since my infection has been for nearly two months, one would think that he did not get it from me. I am concerned about getting infected again (because I am quite susceptible to it reoccurring) since I can't take the strong antibiotics while pregnant. Please pray for Sean's quick healing and protection for William and myself. Thank you so much, friends. I'll keep you posted on his progress as I learn more. For now, I'm going to go wash my hands! Night-night!

Celebrate good times, Come on!!

After Sean got home from work this evening, we decided to make our way to the mall for a celebratory dinner. Max and Erma's definitely fit the bill and they practically had to roll us out afterwards! William was completely thrilled to devour his first corn dog (on a stick!) and watermelon lemonade (complete with gummy worms!)

…hey, I said we were celebrating!

I think that we’ve found a new favorite in Max and Erma’s and will definitely be returning for our next “way to go, Daddy” dinner. Sean is still laying on the couch moaning that he ate wayyyy to much!

"Mom, this is almost as good as nursing!"

William's first gummy worm

"Rock on, corn dogs!!!"

William got an adorable pair of sandals from StrideRite that we thought would be a good solution to the never-ending Battle de Shoes. Wrong. He loves them, don’t get me wrong, but he loves them so much that he wants to play with the Velcro, chew on the bottoms, etc., etc….

I’ve got Bible Study tomorrow and I am so completely excited to be surrounded by God’s women. Last week was the first session, but considering the circumstances, I stayed home and wallowed in my MRSA. Well, not this week, friends… I am back and more excited than ever!

Oh, life is good once again in the Hingley household. By the way, Sean has another test coming up in October that will provide our family with another raise. I’m already praying for him and his success, but not losing site of today’s victory and how blessed we are. I am so very proud of my sweetie pie and all his hard work. I am also very grateful for everyone’s prayers and well wishes. God is so good, friends (and so are all of you)!

Well, I’m off to take a shower and use my FABULOUS, new and expensive, but totally worth it, hair product. I got ready this morning in 30 minutes- start to finish- and my hair looked better than ever (was that snobby?? I’m sorry, but it did though!). If you have crazy, curly hair (like me) then MoroccanOil is definitely worth your money (even in this economy).

Hope you all have a wonderful evening and an even better tomorrow…



MRSA Update: Going, going, ALMOST GONE!!!!

Thank you, Father!!!

More to come later but, as for now, SEAN PASSED HIS TEST!!!!!!! Praise God for his wonderful blessings!
