From the mouth of babes...

Kayden was asking about what is going to happen on his birthday. The baby was due October 1st, and my mom often teased him about how the baby would sing Goo Goo Ga Ga on his October 21st birthday.

Kayden just asked me if the baby will be singing to him now from heaven.



The 5th grade class sent along cards yesterday. Last night, as I was reading through them, I was deeply impressed by the level of Godliness and sensitivity a lot of these kids' possess. Most included scripture verses to help us through this valley.

The final one I read, though, said "Whatever happens, just be happy because that is the way God planned it to be."

It was good to have a laugh at how simple things are for children.


My diagnostic ultrasound is Monday at 4:45. I go in first for the ultrasound, and then get to meet with the maternal-fetal specialist. They said it should take two to three hours.

I am thankful that on Monday, I will have more answers.

I hope you are not sick of prayer requests. Often, it helps to know people are praying on my behalf when sometimes I just can't.

Please pray for sleep. It is not coming. Last night was about two hours total, which is making things worse. Not only am I mentally drained, I am physically exhausted.

Kayden woke up at four this morning with the flu. Again. Actually, I am not sure if it is the flu or just nerves with all the unrest in our household. Please pray for our family to be healthy.

Please pray for wisdom. The picture looks so huge right now; I am constantly overwhelmed. I am having a hard time taking it day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute.

I'm sooooooooo sorry Jamie. I can't imagine what you and your family are going through. I've been thinking of you lots since I learned of this.

Oh Jamie, I am praying for rest for your tired mind and body. I woke up in the middle of the night last night and you came to my mind and I prayed. I SO know what not enough sleep feels like (I had insomnia for a year), and so I truly pray that you get the rest you need so that you can make it through this difficult time.
