how big is big enough???

baby news and a song...

Stephen and I went to our Dr. appt yesterday and had a lengthy talk with our Dr. (whom i LOVE. seriously...LOVE.) and we came to the conclusion that in 8 days...next wed... we are scheduled to have an AMNIOCENTISIS to see if Hadley's lungs are ready... and if the results come back good... we will head over to be induced... It was all very overwhelming to be honest. I mean... we know we are pregnant. We know the baby will be here shortly. We know we want Had to be here...but, next week?! It really put things into perspective for us. We are ready and anxious.. we just hope for a healthy little bug that we will be able to take home after a short stay at the hospital... So! we are crossing our fingers for some strong lungs on this girl!

So... because she has already dropped and I am already dialated to a 2... I am sitting on my big prego bum doing nothing. I saw a video this morning that I loved and have since watched about 7 times... It is a video of some pictures from Mark Mabry. It is put to my FAVORITE FAVORITE song of all times. In fact, I told Stephen to play this song at my funeral years ago.... Here is the link to the video... sometimes you have to click on the "main" button for the song to load...

I am so grateful for my knowledge of the Saviour and his life and sacrifice.... and I am THANKFUL for moments where I can be reminded of how special and sacred this life is....

Amanda posted this incredible video on her blog... I thought it was really appropriate to pass along to my "peeps" around Easter...
You can watch it here.

Happy late Easter everyone...

flashback friday...

isn't he cute in his glasses?? Yes. he still has them... just won't wear them...

one thing I am grateful for...

I am sitting here pondering about the several different things I am grateful for. And one thing that pops into my mind... of which I am VERY grateful for is our solders. I am in awe at these men and women that freely give of themselves to serve our country and to help others as well. I have two brothers-in-law that have served in Iraq. One is over there right now. It makes me so proud...

I have found a great GREAT site that I really want to pass along....

Xerox has created a program that is SIMPLE and wonderful. They are sending free cards to soldiers. All you have to do is go to the site--pick a card-- write your name--a message-- and they will send it off for you. So many of the soldiers don't hear from many people and it is easy to feel forgotten... this is a wonderful way to send our thanks. Especially around the holidays. Please pass this along to others...

~~~it's a great FHE activity... we had the WHOLE family do it on Thanksgiving... it was great!~~~

God bless our troops.
