Prayers *updated*

*Update (as of this afternoon)* - Hudson was born via c-section and weighed in at 2 pounds 14 ounces.  I don't know that I'll update any more unless something happens that warrants extra prayers, but I do want to thank you all for praying for that sweet baby and his family.  Blessings.


*Update (as of yesterday afternoon)* - It looks like she will be having a c-section today or tomorrow.  They are estimating that he'll weigh between 3 and 4 pounds.  Right now, they are trying to stabilize her blood pressure, and they have been giving her steroid shots to strengthen the baby's lungs.  Thanks for praying, and I'll try to update again as information is made available.

A gal I went to high school with and am friends with on Facebook is a little over 30 weeks pregnant.  I don't know many details other than these:

~something has gone wrong
~she's in the hospital
~they play on delivering her baby boy soon

My heart hurts for her as I sit here crying.  Our situations aren't really that similar, but her prayer post on FB caused my heart to race just remembering our day exactly two months ago.

I know that she and her husband have waited for so very long for their chance to be parents and that they love this baby more than words can say.  Let's pour out our requests before our Mighty God for them and for their sweet baby Hudson.

    I saw your comment on FB about Hudson's pending birth. I, also, couldn't but think back and I sent up a quick prayer for this baby's safety and good health. Baby's who have been much smaller than he is have grown and thrived. My former pedicurist's baby boy, who was born at 30 weeks and was smaller than Hudson, is now a very healthy four-month old and appears to be fine. Thank you for being the caring friend you are. Love you.

Monday Musings (5/4)

~I'm in the mood to decorate my backyard with beautiful flowers, especially along the fence line. I was thinking rose bushes. But, then. I get email notifications from a company called Joss & Main often with discounted prices and good deals, and today's email showed that, among other things, they had their garden items on sale. I clicked on over and saw the prettiest hydrangeas! I ADORE hydrangeas. We had them in our wedding, and they were so simple and beautiful. Unfortunately, they already sold out of all of their hydrangeas!!  BOO.  I'll keep looking around to find some good deals.  If you're also in the gardening mood, check out their sales . Maybe they'll have the plant, garden item, outdoor furniture, or other item for around the house you're searching for. ~Saturday morning, my mom and I took the kids to our local consignment shop. They were having a birthday/reopening/moving celebration and had prizes and food and a man doing face painting. ...

Introducing....

I know I left you all in suspense. Right now I'm running on very little sleep (we were awake for 25 hours straight, & I've slept an hour and 45 minutes total since then), so this is more informative and less story-like--his birth story will come later. I have to tell it, at some point, because it was nothing short of amazing.  And traumatic.  And I may have to gather more details from those who might remember it more clearly. So, without further ado... (And with a very grainy picture from my iPad taken in the early light of day--6:45), I'd like to introduce you to our son. Jack Campbell Born on 6-11-13 at 1:11 am (he's almost 6 hours old) Weighing 6 pounds 2 ounces (praise God!!) and measuring 18.5 inches long.  He's entirely too precious for words.  We feel ridiculously tired and immeasurably blessed. Thank you for praying!

In the Beginning...There Was a Garden

Image
Y'all, I'm feeling the itch.  It's more of a tick, really.  We've got this huge backyard (which really is not very pretty right now...I'm sure the overcast weather isn't helping my view), and I am itching, ticking, jonesing to start a garden. I love flowers, but I'd rather plant veggies and fruit.  The problem is that I have no idea where to begin.  None.  I've searched and searched on Pinterest, and there are tons of blog posts and articles about gardening, but I'm having trouble just getting started.  What do I do first?  When do I plant? What kind of  soil?  How much sun/shade? Where do I plant? Side of the yard? Back of the yard? Along the fence? Out in the middle? What do I plant? Cucumbers, definitely.  Bell peppers, most likely.  But, what else? What's your favorite, easily grown fruit/vegetable? What pests do I need to worry about?  I also need to keep in mind that I have two ...
