A big day is near

I am so excited that I don’t know where to start or what to say. After all these months Ivey is almost there – just a few more days.

Well, I guess I should backtrack for a second because you have no idea what is going on. This morning Ivey visited her ocularist. And yes, she has now been fitted for her prosthetics which is one amazing process and such a gift that someone out there enjoys making little eyes for people.

Back to the point, Ivey’s molds have been made. Now we wait for the prosthetics. All things going as planned and her ocularist, Mr. Herndon, will mail them to us Friday. That’s right, mail them! There’s something incredibly funny about that.

So keep checking back. This is a big day. They change her appearance so much. A milestone is fast approaching and this will be a big page in her book – so once she has them, I would like for everyone to leave her a comment so that I can read her the names of all the amazing people who love her and keep up with special moments in her life.

What color are they? Oh, you’ll have to wait and see for yourself!!

ps.
I read this great article today. As excited as I am for Ivey, I am just as excited about Knox and Walker. Knox practiced hitting a baseball as I pitched to him, and he did great. Knox has a fever today, but he sure is tough. For the most unusual milestone, Walker got it this morning that he is a true Southerner. He kept saying things like "Ya'll look" as he spoke to me and Matt. Just yesterday he was still saying mom and dad; today he figured out the true southern plural. This post will give you a glimpse into Knox and Walker's world or it might give you a glimpse into your own child's world. Our children are to be commended-for just being themselves. Go HERE.
