When I was pregnant with my youngest I had a very difficult pregnancy. I decided that if I could make it to 37 weeks all would be well. My water broke early in the morning on the very day I hit 37 weeks. She weighed 5 pounds even (4 pounds, 11 ounces when we went home) and was absolutely perfect. I nursed her exclusively and she regained her birth weight by one week and gained another 10 ounces the next. All that to say that Katie's baby should be just fine, especially since she'll have the prayers of all your blog readers. :)Deannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17113928043039917799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-57869693858743846052019-09-29T10:37:38.650-04:002019-09-29T10:37:38.650-04:00We were away for a few days with no internet.

With you are expected to do for others, ask yourself, if I were not here who would do it? Very often the answer is they would have to do it themselves. What if I didnt have the money to help would they figure it out? They would have to. I hope you and John enjoy your time off and remember you have to take care of yourself first. You and John work hard and have certainly earned sone time alone and the money to do some special things together. We have to take care of ourselves first or we wont be taking care of anyone. When you fly they tell you if an emergency comes up and the oxygen masks are needed, put your own on first. Otherwise you may not be able to help anyone else.

This is truly a group like no other that I have seen anywhere in the blogging community. <br /><br />My husband and I were out for dinner last night and it was one of those dinners where we were both in a good mood and the food and restaurant and the service were just top notch. Right in the middle of it he asked me if there was anything I used to do that I gave up after his brain injury and would I like to do it again. I about fell out of my chair. So I mentioned that I used to go to lunch with my friends and he said I should start doing that again. I can't help but think that it was this group praying for us. Much love to you all.Lanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380649410508372279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-3617894825372871392019-09-26T08:01:15.098-04:002019-09-26T08:01:15.098-04:00Thank you for the update, I'll keep praying fo...Thank you for the update, I'll keep praying for you and your family.

Just this morning, (as in 0-dark thirty!) as I was praying for you and John, I mused on what it might be if we NEVER got a ‘visit’ again....what a hole that would leave (until, of course, we REALLY meet in Heaven!). So...I consider your post today as an extra special gift! <br />Stay well, remembering how highly you are regarded and loved here!<br />Connihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18029708102651366892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-15946904142165553552019-09-25T20:22:10.462-04:002019-09-25T20:22:10.462-04:00Glad you are back, we missed you.

How frustrating for you. I'm truly disappointed in them. So sorry you had to endure that. Thank the good Lord Sam was there as a backup. <br /><br />Two new grand babies arriving within the next six months...such a blessing! As I've mentioned before, we haven't any grandchildren yet but I've learned so much by way of your shared experiences and appreciate your good examples...especially regarding loving helpfulness while still setting much needed boundaries! I'm tucking it all away for future use! <br /><br />We were down in San Diego last weekend starting to clean out my Dad's house and eventually get it ready for market. Sadly, unless a miracle happens for us financially, in the next six months or so we will probably need to get it on the market. Mike was doing yard work while we were there and somehow pulled his hamstrings. The doctor estimates he will be off work for the next few weeks at least. We have insurance that pays us for time off when these kinds of injuries occur so that is a huge blessing. It's fun having him home but my routines are out of whack somewhat...good practice for his eventual retirement (we are about 5 years or more away). Well my kind friend, I am off to make a nice pot of afternoon tea! Again, a thousand and one thanks for the very welcome post. Please be kind to yourself and know you and your family are in our prayers.<br />Much love,<br />Tracey<br />xoxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-59492627180467858722019-09-25T16:53:14.329-04:002019-09-25T16:53:14.329-04:00Hi Terri!

I've only read up to the paragraph regarding Katy's new due date due to the placenta previa (sp?). She and her new baby are in my prayers for a perfect outcome for all concerned. I confess that I was so happy at your new post that I had to take a little pause from my reading and let you know what a joy it is to hear from you! I can't tell you how many times I've checked in here to see if there was a new post...sending a prayer your way each time. :))). You are loved and appreciated more than you know! Your a light in my life, that is for certain. <br /><br />Well my amazing friend, I am going to sit down and thoroughly savor this most welcome post and most probably will be commenting again, haha! You've made my day.

I was tickled to see the change in wallpaper; it gave me hope that you would indeed return. <br /><br />I don't have a blog but I journal nearly every day and honestly, I think it helps me sort out life, everything from the mundane to the extraordinary. I love looking back over time; some of the things I've gotten so worked up over just completely fizzled and I just shake my head. I wonder, sometimes, if I will EVER learn that God really does have everything under control.<br /><br />Anyway, I'm tickled that you're checking in and I hope it won't be long before we chat regularly once again.<br /><br />MindyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-67457332850710369352019-09-25T14:47:28.104-04:002019-09-25T14:47:28.104-04:00Good to see you back.
