Hello, great BIG world...er, I mean, my 32 loyal blog followers....William Wallace, God's Mighty Warrior, here. Mom and Dad FINALLY went out for the night (celebrating 3 years of wedded bliss and 7 months of fun with me) and gave me some free time! Actually, I had some play time with Aunt Elissa and Uncle Jeremy who were my parental stand-ins for the night but, by dark, I was alone in my crib, musing away. It was nice to not have Mom checking up on me. Seriously, why does she look so panicky when I face plant in my mattress...that's where I do some of my best thinking and sleeping...and, yes, breathing. How old does she think I am?!
So, I have lots of news for you. All of it is AWESOMENESS! GOD'S AWESOMENESS!!! Where to start?! Well, I saw the neurologist and geneticist last month and they agreed...I don't have a myopathy (weak muscles)! They were super impressed with my progress and said that the issues I previously had were simply from not having all of my abs and not being able to move much when I was in my mom's tummy (Mom thought I didn't move much because I was deep thinker, solving big problems to help the world and all...she was only partially right...I slept a lot too!) The ab thing was also part of my breathing problem back then. Hmm...it's all making sense now.
Since no one around here has ever seen anyone with 5 pk abs, I am quite the anamoly (practicing my use of big SAT words...but I think that means special). This means Mom and Dad have expanded their tummy tuck doctor search to all over. They have been talking to a specialist in Dallas and in New York who have seen similar cases (can you believe there are kids out there with NO abs? I feel fortunate!) and know how to possibly fix it. HOORAY!! In the meantime, I wear this super cool band that helps support everything (kinda like SPANX!? not sure what that means but Mom says you gals will get it)
And none of this has held me back...AT ALL! I rock AND I roll!!! It's true...my cousins gave me a U2 cd that I rock too (Uncle Brent is a U2 super fanatic...I mean, fan) and now I can roll 2! You should see me...I roll all over the place. Mom is even worried about me rolling out of my room and down the stairs. So, now I have supervised rolling. Grrrr...
I have been showing off my tricks to my cousins from Houston (my first roadtrip!) and to those from Abilene (they came to visit me last Saturday)...oh yes, and in public (my first trip to the infamous Barton Springs...and, no, I didn't get in the water...I am not THAT crazy!) So, it has been a very eventful summer.
So, I think I will wrap with sharing a little secret with you...come closer now...SHHhhh....promise you won't tell...PROMISE? Okay, now, double pinky swear you won't share...OKAY...I'm getting a baby brother or sister for my birthday!!!! Well, not my official birthday but the birthday I was supposed to have had if I hadn't shown up early. Cousin Becca says I am gettin' an Irish twin...not sure what that means...but it sounds kinda fun. So, be on the lookout for a new Shew come January!!! So, what do you think? Little brother or little sister? Gimme a guess.
Well, as you can see...God has really blessed us! I am so grateful to each of you for praying for my healing...God answered!!! WOW - did He! He is AWESOME!!! I pray that you see His blessings in your own life.
PS - I saw my favorite NICU nurse, Heidi, the other night and she reminded me of this sweet song she used to play when we were together. It makes me smile...hope it does you too! It's a Beautiful World!!
