My heart has been so burdened for a local friend who just delivered her baby at 28 weeks because of pre-eclampsia. Sweet baby Reagan weighs 1lb 15ozs and is doing as well as can be expected. They have a long road ahead of them.
Another real-life friend just delivered a precious baby boy with a heart condition. His first open-heart surgery was yesterday, at only 4 days old. You can read more about baby Martin and his family on their blog.
Today we went to the park but only got to play a little while because it turned windy and cold. It was fun to get out of the house though!
If you had been driving past my house around 3pm you would've gotten a good laugh. I wrote a note to a friend, got the stamp on it and was about to run it out to the mailbox when I heard Lily awake from her nap. I went and got her, came back to the living room, and glimpsed the mailman pulling away from our mailbox! Of course he would be early today! I grabbed the card and bolted out of the house to chase him down. Yes, my 36 1/2 week preggo self and carrying a 2 year old was tearing across the yard. Thankfully the mailman saw me and waited...but I'm sure I was a sight to behold! HA!
I was going through my recipes looking for some more freezer-friendly ideas and both Lily and Levi wanted to help.
I'm so thankful for my husband who works so hard to provide for me and the children!
Isaiah 41:10 was an encouragement to me today. "I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness."
Oh you make me giggle. Our days our so similar in silly happenings. I wish I could help you out so you could get some rest. Stock your freezer full of yummy food so you don't have to worry or fuss over it. Sweet hugs friend!
ReplyDeleteI really love your new blog look. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI cracked up reading your story about chasing down the mailman! Not too much longer, and you'll be holding your sweet baby!
ReplyDeleteHad it been me, I would have waited until the next day to mail my card! You are awesome for going for it!
ReplyDeleteI think it was so sweet for the orchestra to give you a shower!
