"Did you bring us something? Did you? Huh, did you?"
The other picture is B.B. wrapped in his fitted sheet hiding in the living room floor. Can't see him at all, can you?
The other picture is B.B. wrapped in his fitted sheet hiding in the living room floor. Can't see him at all, can you?We decided to up grade our Dishnetwork package today so Husband would have Animal Planet to watch. With it I got AMC and TCM. The kids got Noggin and Toon Disney. We're all happy on the funny farm today.
I'm beginning to think someone moved us to the Pacific North West without our knowledge. It's done nothing but rain for the past week...maybe it's only been a few days, but it feels like forever. I'm hoping for a break tomorrow. Husband doesn't have to work and it would be nice it we could at least take a walk or something. I'm determined to enjoy all the time he has off in honor of Sarah who will not see her beloved until April 15th or so.

The light bulb blew out in my living room lamp this morning. It usually houses a 150 watt bulb. I had no spares, so now I'm struggling to see with a measly little 60 watt bulb. And we went to town yesterday, so no light bulbs for me until Monday.
I can only pick one up on Monday because I have to go to the hospital for a blood draw & that makes for a trip to town. It's time for my Alpha Fetal Protein test (or AFP if you will). It's a test to determine my risk factor for baby having Down Syndrome or Spina Bifida. I'm only having it because prenatal surgery is possible for Spina Bifida and it can be done at Vanderbilt Hospital in Nashville (only 5 hours from us, and 1 hour from Mama and Daddy).
We didn't have the test done when I was expecting Baby Girl because it wasn't going to change anything (and I didn't know about the surgery). I am not concerned about the test, but I would like you to pray for us through this pregnancy. We've had scares in the last two and don't want to repeat them. #1 Son had a kidney problem that was discovered in an ultrasound (it's fine now) and while checking B.B.'s kidney's for the same problem they discovered a hole in his heart and an increased chance for Down Syndrome. The hole healed prior to birth and my amnio was negative for Downs. But I want a boring pregnancy this time. No scares. No sobbing calls made to my parents. No fast trips made to the hospital for Husband to sit through a genetic counseling session with me. No "we're not sure, but we want to check" calls from my doctor's nurse. Please pray for a boring pregnancy and birth.

consider it done..Prayers going up for a really really boring uneventful pregnancy. Hugs
PS I love the kitties.
Dear Lord,
I was going to pray that Farm Wife woud hav a boring pregnancy, but I can't quite do that. You see, she is eagerly anticipating those first flutters, which will turn into the feeling of a kitten pawing inside her tummy, which will turn into full fledged elbows and feet ramming her. And those movements are so very exciting. So I pray this instead: please take care of Farm Wife and the little bitty farm hand you have made grow inside her. Be with Farmer Husband and the kids, as Farm Wife's hormones are sure to rage and cause them to roll their eyes and wonder "what's up?". I pray that little bitty farm hand will feel his or her parents' love already, as well as hear her or his siblings and know their strange, childlike expressions of love at an early age. I pray that all of Farm Wife's children will come to know you and follow You when they are young.
Please be with Farm Wife on Monday, especially, as she takes the AFP test. While we know that every child is fearfully and wonderfully made according to your purpose, we pray that this Mommy will not have another scare like she has had during the last two prgnancies.
Dear Lord, as I am about to go to sleep, I pray that you will wrap you arms around that precious little bitty farm hand and protect her or him as he or she develops inside the Farm Mommy that already loves all her babies very much.
In Jesus' name... Amen.
