Some updates and prayer requests....



I don't have a lot of time right now..But I wanted to post some updates. This picture is from the 4th of July....isn't it beautiful. I love the sailboat in the pic. As for updates:
My mom....is still in the hospital. She is unable to eat much and they are trying to figure out why. Probably more testing tomorrow...we are praying that everything is clear and nothing is blocked again....and her body is just taking time to adjust to all that has gone on. We should know more in the next couple days..will keep everyone updated.
We also got a call this morning that my grandpa was taken to the hospital via ambulance today. The docs are saying he has not more than 3 months to live...but we all know that the docs are NOT God. Only God knows his timing here in his earthly body. I ask for prayer especially for my grandma. They have been married for 64 years. My grandpa is 97 and my grandma is 86. They have been an amazing example of a truly Godly couple. I have done a post on them before..but I am going to do another one very soon as I have time. But prayers for the whole family but especially for my grandma during this time would be appreciated.
I am doing well....praise the Lord!! I have a Dr appt tomorrow but I expect that everything will be fine. Weight gain has been minimal this pregnancy...baby is very active..and seems to be doing fine. We are getting excited to meet this newest member of our family. C-section is scheduled for Friday Sept 4th @ 12pm. Getting so close. I am a little nervous about trying to get care for the kiddos completely arranged...so my husband can be at the hospital. Family usually watches them...but most family cant right now. But I know that too...the Lord will work out.
To those of you who have called or sent emails...or chatted..or whatever..thank you. Thank you for the friendships and encouragement!! I love you all and am so very thankful.
There has been sooo much going on these past few weeks...with my mom...myself...grandpa now...and so much more that doesn't need discussed here. I am so so so very tired!! But no matter what it is ....there is comfort knowing God knows it all...and HE is in control. How do people go day to day without the Lord and comfort he brings...I don't even know.

Praying for your grandpa and your mom...and for you as you finish out this pregnancy and meet this handsome boy! I have next Friday on my calendar and am more than happy to come over and watch the boys. Then I can bring them up to the hospital whenever it is time. You just let me know what you need...and I'll be there!

Our prayers are with you and your family. We have had sickness in our family so we had not been able to visit your mom, however, we are all doing better now. As for you c-section. Let me know when you expect to be home so I can figure on sending my girls to take care of the new momma and her boys. They are very excited to be a blessing to you in this time.
