Special Blessings

On Thursday, July 13th our new little grandson made his debut. Mark ANdrew Stachowicz was born at 2:34 AM at Winter Park Hopsital. He weighed in at 6 lbs. 12 ozs. and was 19 1/2 inches long. At first glance he reminded all of us of his big brother Blake and Blake of course is beaming at that news!
As I write this he is asleep in the pack and play in our family room oblivious to everything. Jen, Mark, Blake and Mark Andrew came over yesterday afternoon in the midst of a storm because the septic system has backed up in their house. Mark has gone over there this morning to meet the men who will fix it.
It was a very emotional week for me as the baby needed to have 2 sonograms of his kidney area and then an abdominal x-ray as they did not know if he has a csyt on his kidney or a mass. Thank God it appears to be a cyst and the Doctors feel that it will dissolve. And then of course Bob does not have a job and we are putting the house on the market tomorrow... so it all caught up with me.
I look at this baby and want to be able to offer him what I was able to offer his big brother... a Gram who can take care of him instead of a daycare... and I don't know if that will happen. I look at Mark Andrew and understand from a mother's perspective how difficult it is at times to love a child. You love them so much and give them all the love that you have in your heart and then sometimes when they are adults they hurt you deeply. I know that is how I sometimes treat my Heavenly Father who has lavished so much love on me.
