GOD is GOOD ALL the time...

    Sorry to have not blogged lately. The Fahed household has kind of been in a uproar for about two weeks now. I won't bore you with the details though! On to what's really important!
   The Lord has showered us with blessing after blessing lately and we are so thankful. We went for Camden's ultrasound on Jan 26th at 2:30. Looking back that week is a total blur because we were in total disbelief that something ELSE could possibly be wrong with Camden. All I honestly remember is the night before being on my knees, arms wrapped around my husband, sobbing and praying. Pleading that God grant our sweet baby health and that we could move on with our lives. I think we have been through so much emotionally that in our heads, or at least mine, I couldn't fathom dealing with another major medical problem. Ant didn't eat or sleep for two days straight and I didn't sleep but ate EVERYTHING in the house! Our pediatrician is a laid back kind of gal and when she became very concerned, so did we! It's not like her at all to get hyped up about anything really. She had me super convinced that there was def something wrong with Camden's head and I was just a wreck.
     That morning before the ultrasound I actually tried to study head ultrasounds so I could recognize myself if something was wrong. lol Silly me..once again I felt the Lord whispering in my ear, "Sarah..YOU are not in control! I am! Trust in me." Soon we were standing in the ultrasound room, Camden was sweetly smiling up at the tech as she rubbed jelly on his BIG head. She began the ultrasound and I immediately felt the need to go vomit in the corner. I got myself together and though watching the screen, began to pray while holding back tears. I asked the tech over and over if she saw anything, but by law she wasn't allowed to say. She told me if it were her kid she wouldn't be concerned. The teach told us that the doc had to review it then he would MAIL over the result to my doc! Seriously!? We were told we were going to have to wait till Monday to get the results. We left feeling slightly better and so very pleased with our experience at chipenham once again.
      Once we got home I immediately called our pediatrician office to see if I REALLY did have to wait till Monday! I couldn't imagine waiting all weekend! Two days was bad enough...we weren't gonna make it three more! I left a message and the nurse called me back about an hour later. When I heard the news that the doc had sent over the results and everything was FINE with Camden, I remember feeling like the weight of the world was lifted off my shoulders. I ran to Ant to share the news, we both cried and hugged, then we celebrated with my MIL who fixed us an AMAZING dinner! (She is so wonderful!) I went to bed that night thanking the Lord for his goodness and with a belly ache from eating HALF a turtle pie.


     About a month ago we sold our treadmill on Fb so we could use the money to buy a new camera. We have a cheaper camera we bought back before our honeymoon, but I can't tell you how many times I have dropped it! oops! When you take a picture with it it takes about 1 min or so to "process." Needless to say after 1 min my wild toddler is long gone and done with pictures! We decided we could sell the treadmill and use it towards a camera. It was actually a battle with me b/c I did not want to sell it. I thought maybe one day I would use it...MAYBE. Ant reminded me that we have had it for almost 3 years and he can count on his hand the amount of times it has been used. I finally gave in, we sold it and then an emergency happened in our downstairs bathroom. I was soooo bummed knowing that the treadmill money was long gone! We bought the supplies to fix the bathroom and I told myself I would eventually get over it. That maybe in couple months we would have the money to buy a nice camera to capture the precious fleeting moments with our boys.
       The following Saturday Ant went out to get the mail. I was standing in the kitchen with the boys playing when I heard him say, "No way!" I looked at him confused and asked what was going on. My stomach usually drops at this because the hospital/docs have been famous for billing us for more money 5+ months after Camden was born. It seemed like each month we were getting in a NEW medical bill just when we thought we were done! But that wasn't the case at all! Apparently we had overpiad wells fargo on our mortgage this past year and it was a check for $800! We both looked at each other shocked! Wanna know how much the camera is that we wanted so bad.....about $800. Coincidence? I think not! A blessing from the Lord for sure!
   I have spent the last few days taking pictures after picture trying to make up for all the pictures we haven't taken the last 7.5 months! Camden absolutely LOVES the flash and Alexander loves the shutter sound! We purchased the Canon T3i and we are in LOVE! It's amazing! Even though things have been shaky around here, my heart is full. The Lord is FAITHFUL and my baby's head is healthy! God is GOOD all the time!
