And it never ceases to amaze me how clever He can be in the choice of how they're delivered. I'm honored that my post was used to remind you that He is answering your prayers in His time, according to His plan for Rhett. <BR/><BR/>32 lbs! Wow! Absolutely AWESOME! xoxoxoxoDamama Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00433392172815959276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3292921261406125884.post-74478303068978337752008-01-03T21:30:00.000-06:002008-01-03T21:30:00.000-06:00I LOVE that song!! I heard it the year that Rhett ...I LOVE that song!! I heard it the year that Rhett was born. I was sitting there holding a 4 1/2 lb baby sobbing my eyes out because it was so hard for him to eat due to his heart defect. He would take three sucks and just pant and sputter milk all over. <BR/><BR/>When I heard that song I just had to laugh, and I looked at him and told him thats all I wanted for Christmas was for him to EAT like a hippopotamus! He looked at me, like okay crazy lady I am trying here! <BR/><BR/>It didn't work much he still was only 7 lbs at 4 months when he had his heart surgery. But now look at him! I got my Christmas wish, just a couple of years later. He just weighed in at 32 lbs and is only 2! <BR/><BR/>I know that was probably not what you were expecting me to post, but hey, I am full of suprises!! <BR/><BR/>HUGS!!Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10449171111666867354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3292921261406125884.post-28334634163846048822007-12-21T23:15:00.000-06:002007-12-21T23:15:00.000-06:00Hi Deb!

We used to have a rock and roll radio station and their mascot was a hippo so, if memory serves, they had this song written for them. It became quite popular. Now maybe they just found it by coincidence, but I do recall one of the DJ's commenting it was their song one time. I've always thought it was a fun song.Debbie @ Three Weddingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11778199494515694006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3292921261406125884.post-45072469111814219912007-12-21T22:09:00.000-06:002007-12-21T22:09:00.000-06:00LOL!!

And it stopped the baby...That is such a cute song. And it stopped the baby from crying. (the baby loves anything youtube related anyway - anytime he gets to fussy, I put on any singing video from youtube, and he shuts right up and sits there and watched the videos, he is so funny, LOL)<BR/>I am going to have to send that to my mom, she will like that, LOL.<BR/>~JenniferJenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05050466263238656666noreply@blogger.com
