Staring at the ceiling today...
Well, not quite, but it's a quiet Christmas eve with the kids all up at Grandma and
Grandpa's. They are playing games with their aunts and uncle while we are recovering from another trip to the hospital. Without going into the gory details, I am doing fine and we were thankful to be sent home after only 8 hours. The answers are still not clear, but my speculation is that I just have a subchorionic hemorrhage and the ailments that go with it. Praying that is goes away and I can have a normal pregnancy.
Thinking on: "Who being the brightness of His glory, and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when he had by Himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high. When He bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, He saith, And let all the angels of God worship Him." Heb 1:3&6
How much His birth brought this world!
By the way, online Christmas shopping has taken on a whole new meaning.
Lots of brown paper packages on our front porch bringing little excitements to our days. Also, all those Christmas cards that the postman has been bringing. Our ultimate favorite is Josh and Brooke's - I'm still laughing!
Our family has been spoiled rotten lately. We are so blessed with how the Lord uses His own to cheer and care for us. People we didn't even know liked us have done such sweet things.
Today I'm listening to Sara Groves' Christmas album amidst a nail gun and saw. Dear husband in starting to lay new hardwood floors while I'm offering no help, unless you count questions and suggestions...or reprimandings him every time he says, "dang it".
Kitty, Patches, is driving me crazy. Apparently I'm a pathetic & helpless candidate for her to pounce on and scratch or eat my snacks. Sigh.
The kids and other family might show up later to beat the freezing roads. Then we will eat Shawna's pesto/mozzarella calzones & sherry tomato soup (These dear friends personally delivered 5 delicious freezer meals to us!) and after the kids will unwrap and model their Christmas pajamas.

Merry Christmas to you all! Our friends and family mean so much to us this Christmas!
Our Savior's presence becomes more real each year as we know Him more!
Emmanuel, God is with us.

We miss you guys! Hope you have a wonderful Christmas at home. We are praying for you.
You will not be disappointed by that soup - its a favorite around here! Very sweet of Shawna...
You have been on my heart a lot - praying for you and your sweet baby!
I second Anne's comment! We missed you and I'm sure Rachel's boys would have found your kids more amusing than their "old" cousins. :) Praying for you and baby!
I am glad you enjoyed the package- I was hoping you didn't own that book yet. Hope you had a great weekend.
I picked up that book while wandering Barnes and Noble yesterday and skimmed it. Lovely thoughts of home and the aroma of kitchen. I think I may have to go back and buy it with my Christmas gift card. With so many great books to choose from, I am having a difficult time deciding.
I am praying for you dear friend, and so appreciative of your lovely thoughts as you walk through this challenging journey in your pregnancy.
Thinking of you all and praying for your baby.
