Remember every comment in the month of April adds your name to the "card box" drawing for the month.... This is just a little side note. I have had several emails from bloggers wanting to order a "card box"! It is by far the most requested order in my gift basket business, especially for Mothers Day and has been for years. I do not have a business website, but you can email me if you are interested. They come in three sizes, $35, $50, and $75. We ship everyday and I would be glad to help you if you need a Mothers Day gift. You can email me at annah99@aol.com.
NOW READ ABOUT JACK
THE LIFE OF JACK
Icing is the BEST!
VERY SERIOUS JACK
My crib ROCKS
Meet Jack...Large and In Charge
January 31, 2008 brought us a miracle boy. Another baby changed our world..He is named after his Pop and I will tell you his Pop is a bit proud.
He was born on a perfect January day, easy labor, (again I got to cut the cord). I thought sure his Dad would want to do that honor, but I think he thought I was better with scissors, since I use them in my business.
No experiences in my life have been more precious than being in delivery with Amanda during Parker and Jack's birth.
She is cool and calm,so they have been more like parties. Parker now had a brother and he was so proud.
Absolutely everything seemed normal...He looked fine, was full-term and seemed totally healthy. He knew how to nurse from day one. Amanda and Micah brought him home on a sunny Saturday. Sunday he came over to our house to watch his first Super Bowl. I even noticed that he was cheering for Eli at 3 days old.
Amanda was a tad sleep deprived, so our plan had been for Micah to go back to work on Monday and for her to spend the day at our house sleeping.
On that Monday morning, she called my husband and said that Jack had not wanted to nurse during the night and he looked a little jaundice, so would he come and get her and run her by the pediatricians and let the nurse look at him, JUST to be sure he was gaining weight and that he was not jaundice. Thank you Lord, that she went with her gut "mom" feeling that something was wrong. Days later we would know just how crucial the timing was.
In the next hour the nightmare began....the nurse excused herself to find another thermometer, as she could not believe his temperature was so low. After locating another one, she said "I need to get the doctor"! Within just a few minutes, Jack was in the NICU and it seemed that every nurse and doctor on the floor was in his room. By the time I got to the hospital, they were asking Amanda to sign consent forms to do a spinal tap. One look at the nurses faces told me this was not just a baby there for observation, this was a VERY sick baby. For the next 3 days he was critical and for the next two and half weeks he was in the NICU with many drugs going into his tiny little body.
Somehow our little man had contracted meningitis. We stood over that little crib, day and night, begging God for a miracle. Not until the day we brought him home, did the NICU doctor say to Amanda, "If it had not been for your gut feeling and quick reaction, you would have had a funeral"! Sobering words.
Once we brought the little man home, he has been the center of attention and a laugh a minute. He has the deepest little laugh and cutest little personality...He immediately began to gain weight, thus his name "large and in charge"!
We have never taken for granted how close we came to losing him. Just like his brother, he is "the best thing that ever happened to us"!
We took him to Disney World in October when he was only 9 months,
(do you get a sense that we love the Mouse) and though he will probably not remember that trip, etched in my memory is that little guy in awe of all that was going on around him..and that smile. We are taking him back in May and I have an idea that he and Mickey will become close friends.
Parker is the best big brother and Jack cannot get enough of him. When Parker walks through the door from school, a smile from ear to ear is on his little buddies face. Even thought they are 8 years apart, I have a feeling that they have a really special bond.
So as we celebrate the miracle of Easter today, we also celebrate the life of baby Jack!

I am so glad that my Heavenly Father is a God who still freely gives us miracles! Its sobering to watch a child who you KNOW beyond a doubt is a miracle just because they are alive. I often look at Kyleigh and am overcome with awe at what God has done for her! I am sure you feel the same about Jack.
What an awful experience for all of you! I am so glad the outcome was a good one, and that you have that precious baby in all of your lives.
My first born was a premie and only weighed 4# (and dropped to 3#12 oz.a few days after). Back then (1978) it was rare to have a baby that small make it...but make it she did! And now, she is the mother of my two beautiful grandchildren!!

Hey! Thanks for you comment on my blog - glad you stopped by. Now I at "your place" and had to leave a comment when there's a chance of winning something. And I'm glad to hear that Jack is with you today and not just in memories - it's a hard road.
Blessings!
Oh, he is a sweetie. Jack is one of my favorite names, and I've noticed it has become quite popular in the last five years or so. My brother's name is Jack, as well. Glad you're in for Phase 2 of the 30 x 5!
I am soo glad that Jack is ok and thriving! He is a cutie.
Thanks for stopping by my blog! What a cutie Jack is!
I can tell how very much you love this one...you are blessed! What a special miracle....what a special boy! thanks for sharing. I can tell how important your family is to you!
He's so sweet! Really calm eyes, peacefull...
That is a great story about little Jack.
I'm so thankful his mom knew something wasn't right about her little one and so very thankful God healed this precious child.
He is just adorable.
That's so neat that even though Parker is 8 yrs. older they love each other so much.
I'm so glad you all get to travel to Disney World together again soon. How fun!!
I can certainly see why you're so proud.
Thankful for Jack. Those gut feelings are so important. What a story. So glad all is better now. (o:
Go Mom & her gut feelings!!!
He really is just a cuttie pie!! Those pictures are adorable!!
PS..In the mood for a quick story by a published author?..stop by my blog
Thank you for your sweet comment tonight:) It is the middle of the night and I should be fast asleep but I have a surprise planned for my boys tomorrow and am doing laundry to prepare for it. A little overnight trip with friends. I came right away to see your blog and read a little. I will check back again soon!
Blessings, Sarah
You have two lovely grandsons! Have a great week :).
Please pray for my friend. She is single, Christian, and pregnant with a baby that is not expected to live. She needs lifting up.
www.littleoneapril.blogspot.com/
What a wonderful story! And how blessed you are to have Jack in your lives, and you in Jack's.
I, too, took my children to Disneyworld when they were not yet walking. The first of many trips for them; they grew up knowing the magic Kindom and Epcot like the backs of their hands. Hope it's the same for little, uh, excuse me, LARGE Jack!
This brought tears of joy and tahnksgiving to my eyes. God is so faithful. Regarding your gift baskets and other items you might want to sell online, I've heard that starting an Etsy shop is simple. See http://www.etsy.com/
A beautiful baby and a beautiful story of God's grace. God is so good.
I love the name Jack...it was my brother's name.
Make me cry today (agin) .... wow what a scary and yet miraculous story.
Welcome baby Jack. Your journey isn't finished, its only beginning.
You are loved, I can tell by your granny's words and all the pictures on her blog.
God Bless you little man.
So happy that Jack is doing o.k. He is a very handsome, adorable boy! You write with such love and pride:) It must be a joy to be around these cute guys!!
I have always said that a women's intuition is a special gift from God. I love this story of Jack it is wonderful and an example to show God's mercy.
Thank you for stopping by I am the Clay...I also have my primary blog at A Simple Girl's Life...feel free to stop in there from time to time...
Thanks
Tessa
What a sweet little boy. So glad that the outcome was as it is. Thank god! You have two very precious Grandsons Teresa.
Hugs to you all.
May this little miracle baby grow up to become the Mighty Warrior for the kingdom of heaven that God intends for him to be.
Precious story - God's story!
Looking UPward and Choosing JOY,
Stephanie
[Kneeling in Prayer]
I was holding my breath for him as I read your story! Whew...what a mighty God we serve, amen? And those cheeks...I just want to kiss those cute things!
Xandra
I'm enjoying meeting your family. Jack is a cutie!
Teresa what a miracle Jack is!
I am so glad everything worked out and he is okay now.
He is a handsome little boy!
My sister is newly pregnant and just found out yesterday it's a boy! She already has 1 year old Noah so now they will have a baby brother for him.
Life is truly a miracle isn't it. :)
I do love your card boxes as well.
They are gorgeous!
I may order a few and do a giveaway on my blog for one and definitly feature your blog if that would be okay with you. In case someone doesn't win it they know where to order more from.
Have a wondeful week.
~Melissa :)
What a fabulous story, Teresa. I'm sure it was quite a scare also for you and your family Makes us all appreciate life much more when something like this happens, doesn't it?????
Your angel Jack is absolutely precious.. All of the grands are special--but this little Jack is REALLY special..
Thanks for a great Easter story about LIFE.
Hugs,
Betsy
Oops never mind!
Teresa I just realized you are already doing your own giveaway for a card box!
I'll think of something else to giveaway. I'm sure you are swamped with orders already.
That is amazing how many entries you have for it!
I have been blogging about 5 months and have never seen so many enties before.
You go girl!
I'm adding you to my blogroll. I would have become a follower as well but I don't see your button for it. If you add it I will. You are always welcomed to follow mine too! ~Melissa :)
Wow, what a story! How scary that must have been for all of you. Well, praise God it wasn't in his plan to take him from you. He would have comforted and encouraged if it would have been his will, but I'm happy for all of you that you didn't have to endure that heartache.
Thanks for sharing Jack's story.

Melanie@Bella~Mella
what a beautiful story of God's protection and timing. He is adorable!
(coming from Praying for Trey)
Hi there! Thanks for stopping by my blog! This is such a sweet tribute to Jack. What a beautiful story. I wish my mom and dad were still alive to be grandparents to my two boys...there's so much I feel my boys are missing out on without my parents' influence, so I try extra hard to share things about my parents with my boys. I love that your whole family could go to Disney World together...what great memories.
Looks like we follow quite a few of the same blogs! Yours is just adorable. :) Have a great day!
Wow.
What a miracle.
We serve a mighty God! He is adorable. Both Jack and Parker have alot of the same clothes my son has...how funny. Thanks for being an inspiration!
Oh wow!
What a precious little boy - such a gift! I'm rejoicing that he is healthy and doing well!
Blessings,
Kate :)
Hi Teresa,
Thanks for inviting me over to visit with you. I don't know how you found me in blogging but I'm glad you did. I enjoyed this powerful testimony of this precious little one! I pray that GOD would use his life continously as he grows up; for HIS GLORY!
I hope we can visit with each other again soon.
God bless you dear sister.
P.S. I really like your header. It's beautiful and you quoted one of my favorite Scriptures.
P.S.S. I read your profile and I see we have a few things in common :)
Bless you.
So glad you stopped by! I enjoyed reading your blog and catching up with you! It is great to meet new blogger friends!

What a miracle Jack is. Thanks for sharing his story.
I notice that you are from Shreveport. That's where all my family is and where I grew up. I now live about 3 hours east in a small town, but still love to come 'home' to visit!
I am a grandmother to 5 and just love it! I too would rather be with my husband, kids and grandbabies 24/7!!
In Him,
Beth
I found your comment on my blog today for the first time and simply wanted to stop by and thank you for visiting and let you know how much it meant to me....AND WHAT A BLESSING I RECEIVED!!!
Wow, what a powerful story. What a precious baby Jack is. I know that God has big plans for that sweet little boy. Tears jsut fell as I read the doctor's words to your daughter...you could have been at a funeral. I know God will use this story to save another baby's life as it will give a mother courage to go with her intuition and not feel silly to go to the doctor.
How blessed he is to have you as a Grammy!!! I want you to be my children's grammy....how precious you are.
Thank you for the double blessing you brought me today.
In Him,
Wendy

Much love,
Chantal
Thanks for stopping by! I love new blog friends!
Praise God that PRECIOUS baby Jack is ok!
I am going to have to tell my hubs about this story... I go with gut feelings and so I always catch "big" illnesses early... he will wait until he can barely move and then go to the doctor. Never has he experienced anything really life threating, but y'all have, so yeah... I will pass it along! :)
Praise Be!
He is a beautiful boy. Imagine the Lord has big plans for that little man! Thanks for sharing his story of Mom Power at work.
your tags for this scary and beautiful posting says it all. . . family, Jack, miracle.
God certainly had an angel sitting on that little guys shoulder. He is adorable and looks healthy as can be.
Hi Teresa, thanks for stopping by my blog. I am so glad he is okay, it must have been scary for you, but he pulled through because he must had the will to live. Best wishes.
-Cathy
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
I love having more people pray for my son :)
Blessings to you! Welcome to the wonderful world of blogging. There's so much to see and do and learn from!
what a scare you all had, but what a precious way to remember that life and everything about life is so special and so worth the fight
Thanks for stopping by!! Both Parker and Jack are absolutely ADORABLE!!!
Good luck on my giveaway!
That is scary. A friend of mine has a son who got menengitis during his first week also. He is 4 now and in therapy daily. It's so scary, I am glad that everything worked out for you guys.
Praise the Lord for our little miracles! What a plan He must have for this special little man. I know he is a blessing to your family. Thanks for sharing! ~Blessings!
Oh wow, I'm sooooooooo glad I stopped by. What an incredible story, but an awful experience. Thank God your daughter sensed something was wrong. How on earth did he contract the meningitis????
I'm so glad that Parker and Jack have such a wonderful family!
Justine :o )
So thankful that your Jack is healthy and a happy baby boy! What a scary thing to go through with a baby/grandbaby. Im a huge Disney fan to, so when you go you have to take me! :-)
Thanks for stopping by my blog, I really appreciate it! Have a fantastic weekend!
First off, thank you for visiting my blog! Love the company. :)
Secondly, What an awesome God we serve! You have two of the most adorable Miracles. And you captivated my heart when you spoke of them. I thank the Lord with you that He allowed Jack to remain with your family.
I look forward to dropping in on you quite often. I too am a fairly new blogger...I'm trying...and I find myself getting addicted quickly. :) Blessings, Sheli
oh my goodness....thank the Lord for gut feelings!!!! My oldeest had meningitis when he was a baby but it was the ciral kind and not bacterial. Such a precious little boy Jack is!!!
Thanks for stopping by my blog..I love visitors :)
Thank you for sharing that wonderful story, and for stopping by my blog.
Oh, that is so awesome how God saved the life of this handsome boy!
Thanks for stopping by my blog- it sounds like you have a wonderful family. I am glad you are so blessed!
I have a son named Jack and God gave him his own miracle so this resonated with me. Thanks for the reminder to trust in our gut when it comes to our kids.
Thanks for stopping by my blog! You're a new blogger and have over 100 comments on a post?!?!? Wow, lady!! Thanks for sharing your miracle story of Jack with us. I thank God for his mommy's gut instinct and that God healed Jack!
What a heart warming story! Thanks so much for sharing. I am so glad I visited your blog tonight.
Thanks for visiting! Glad you like the blog! Yours is sooo cute!!!
I l♥ve your blog and the pictures :)
Thank you for coming by my site & leaving such a warm & sweet comment! I can tell that you love being a Grandma from what I've read so far. I am ready for the experience but both my sons are single & unattached at the moment, so gotta be patient!
Mother's intuition is the best thing there is and for good reason! I'm so glad it was caught and that he is doing well today! Planning a funeral for your child is something you never want to do, trust me.
Good mommy instincts there. So glad there was a happy ending!
Hi there. So nice to meet you. What a wonderful story with a beautiful ending. There's a lot to be said for "intuition". I had a feeling something was not right during my last pegnancy. After going through a few doctors, I was fianlly diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. I was going off a feeling. I have a healthy baby girl (17 mos old today), and I am staying in the best health possible as I wait for a cure. Miracles definitely happen!
ps: My mom also goes by Grammie!
And we LOVE Disneyland/World!! We try to go every year. Happiest Place on Earth!
How in the world did you visit so many blogs? I went back and read all your posts and we have a LOT in common. My husband and I are 10 years apart-- I tease him that he married me to stay young, but quickly drug me down with him when his daughter made me a "Mimi" at 35! =) I was friends with his little sister and actually babysat his kids. Not as creepy as it sounds, either! LOL Well you'd have to read my post about that. I also have a daughter and son-in-law living near you. How's that for coincidence? Hope you get back around to my blog again soon. Maybe around 2AM? Love the pictures of your grandsons. They're adorable!
Hi Teresa, it is so nice to be here in your blog. You got the whole world reading your blog. :)
Thanks for commenting on my blog.
It is so nice knowing you.
How was your weekend?
What an inspiring, awesome, amazing story! A miracle baby! What plans the Lord has for him! Thank you for sharing.
And thank you for visiting my blog. I hope you will return and that we can get acquainted.
Blessings to you,
Andrea
How incredible, thank you for sharing that. I love that mother's intuition ... there is a reason we are given that. What a great reason to celebrate. You have such a lovely family, I will have to keep tabs on you all!!! :)
So glad to "meet" you!!! :)
Praise the Lord for baby Jack's survival. God is soooo good! Thank heavens Amanda had the foresight to know to take him in. What a blessing.
My daughters name is Amanda as well.
Thank you for visiting my blog and commenting with such a nice comment. Will definitely visit more. You all are in my prayers and for baby Jack to continue doing well!!!

What an awesome testimony that little boy has!!! Truly a miracle. We are Disney freaks too!!!! We went to Disney World and Disneyland both when I was pregnant with our first little girl and then took her back when she was 9 months old. We sat out 2008 and it was soooo sad!!! We are going back to Disney World in October!!!! YAY!!! Now my newest addition can enjoy it (as much as a 7 month old can!) Glad you stopped by my blog...keep coming!
What a cutie! What a miracle! What a GOD!
Hugs to you!

I'm so glad that you have this adorable little guy to spoil. Thanks for dropping by my blog and commenting. Blessings to you!
What an amazing story! WOW!
That story reminds me of my little brother years ago(in the 80s). He was hit with it at only 2weeks old. Thankfully we still have him here today (he's in his 20s)! I know it had my mother on her knees!
To God be the Glory!
thank you for your comment on my blog. Come again soon! :)

It's a pleasure to meet you Teresa, thanks for stopping by. What a wonderful post on your precious boy. Thank God for mom's intuition, and that Jack was able to make such a wonderful recovery. You have a lovely family, and we have that Disney "bug" in commom! Kathy
Teresa--So glad to "meet" you! My first blog was on Valentine's Day also! Your Jack is truly a miracle and one more demonstration of God's grace. Love your card giveaway. I too am a "snail mail" girl, Hope you'll visit again soon!

Hi Teresa,
How are you doing dear lady?
I came back by to follow along on your inspiring blog!
You're always welcome to visit me and follow mine as well.
Have a wonderful and blessed week.
~Melissa :)
I can relate to how you felt. Our youngest spent his first month in the NICU. And I had meningitis when I was three months old and my parents have spoken of what a scary time it was.
Glad Jack's healthy now, and that you can enjoy taking both boys places :)
Oh what a doll! Thanks for stopping by my blog! :)
Teresa,
What an awesome story and what an Amazing God! Jack is precious. Adorable pictures!
