A bump in the road

Well more like a huge thud! We hit a deer 2.5 hrs from home :( . After emotions ran high and the shock subsided, Roger and I prayed. We prayed The Lord would lead us to a garage. My husband needed help pulling the fender off our tire, I was unable to help due to my surgery. So we noisily crawled to a garage 3 miles away. A gentlemen by the name of Clayton, from Clayton's Garage, stood in silence as he looked my husband up and down. Clayton is very much a country man, maybe even a mountain man. He's had 5 wives, 6 children and 12 grandchildren. He proceeded to tell us how he became an alcoholic and compulsive smoker...which is how he looked so young for 59 ;) .
He hooked the fender guard up to a winch and pulled. Thankfully that was all that needed done, immediately. Now the other damage...well, we see an insurance adjuster Friday for the other stuff but the important cargo was all safe and sound!

Ant hills to mountains

First I have to share the love and support from all over. Especially to Hope for Accreta Foundation, Gina. She sent me this. Such a beautiful surprise to see the signatures of survivors from all over the world. Very humbling. Probably the biggest and most humbling gifts I've received thus far are cards with words of encouragement. I've received birthday cards, etc but these cards are different...or maybe my perspective is changing.  This past week I don't look at my children the same. When I hold my youngest, I inhale his sweet, sticky and sometimes unidentifiable (depends what substance he's sporting) smell. I look at my two youngest and truly look into their deep blue eyes, trying to count the various shades of blue. I watch their movements. I stare in wonder how my 3 yr old knows almost all the words to Frozen, complete with hand gestures and facial expressions. How observant she is...what has she observed from me over the 3 short years of her beautiful life? W...

28wks: appt in Houston

Waiting for my ultrasound. Nervous but prayers are abundant. I am thankful. Here's a couple from 2 women I've never met nor do I know their names: "God's hand is on her womb, her team and on EVERYTHING that will touch her...physically and emotionally. To Him be the glory!!!" "Phew. I just read her blog. Oh,Father, bless this mama. Give her strength and endurance. Help her feel Your presence and peace. Make the time sweet yet swift so she can be back to snuggle all her little guys and their new little love. Help her and her husband fall even more deeply in love and for them to be strengthened by this experience. Protect her baby, Father, with lungs developed and fully functioning systems at birth. Growing this little one outside the womb as well, strong and healthy. (Through fierce tears) I pray you give her courage. In Jesus name,Amen." Thank you so much for everyone who is thinking about, praying for us and sending us messages and text m...
