Please say a prayer......

I was at the OB yesterday for my monthly visit and they have concerns about a heart defect w/ baby girl. They are sending me for a fetal echo cardiogram / high tech ultrasound to check her heart. They are scheduling that appointment for me at the High Risk Clinic downtown...so I do not know when that is as of yet. Please pray that baby girl's heart is healthy and strong and for peace and calmness for me. I am very anxious.

IT'S A...........GIRL!!!

Yes Y'all it's a Girl. I know some of you have been going crazy wanting to know what we were having and it is official. We are sooooooo excited to be adding another sweet baby girl to our family, I know she will fit right in around here. I am also very glad that I have kept most of the girls things too, I don't have the 0-3 mths that I will need for this one but have plenty of the others...or at least I think that I do....depends on seasons. Paiyton & Emmah are very excited & are still asking me daily "When is the baby coming out?" as they say it. So there you have it folks the News is out! Not a good scan but.... here is Baby Girls sweet little bum bum!!!

Legacy

Hi Everyone, this is a repost from Proverbs 31 Ministries. You can subscribe to their daily devotions by emails or follow them on FaceBook. I love these small devotionals they help me stay focused on the right path in the midst of a busy day. they also do radio broadcasts.....Love'um! "I will sing of the lovingkindness of the Lord forever; to all generations I will make known your faithfulness with my mouth." Psalm 89:1 (NAS) What do your children think of when they think of you? Their answers would be very revealing, wouldn't they? One day in early elementary school, Zachary came home with a Mother's Day picture he'd created for me. In the middle was a lovely portrait of me, wearing a dress made in my favorite colors of pink and purple. Then around the picture his teacher had told him to write four different words to describe his mom. He wrote: reading, napping, chocolate chip cookies, and laughing. His words made me smile with their accuracy. Every day we are leaving our fingerprints on our kids. What do we want our children to think of when they think of their parents? A mom who was gentle and firm in her discipline or a mom who flew off the handle easily? A mom who seemed permanently attached to her phone or a mom who was available for life's big and small moments? A mom who occasionally went to church or a mom whose love of God was a part of her everyday life? A legacy can be defined as "something handed down." Every day through our words and actions we are developing a legacy to be carried in the character of our children. It's easy for the busyness of life to keep you from being purposeful in your parenting. Let's decide today to leave the legacy we really want. Let's make sure it's a legacy not born of busyness and urgency, but one born of purposefulness and prayer. It always helps me to remember that God is a parent too. So who better to turn to for parenting advice? It also helps me to know that God loves my children even more than I do, and He will fill in the gaps for me and Scott as we seek Him first. No matter what kind of parent you've been, today you can decide to add to and improve the legacy you are leaving. These are the only days we have with our children. We don't get them back. Let's begin today to be the parents we really want to be. Dear Lord, thank You so much for each of my children. I need Your help every day to be the parent You want me to be. Lord, I'm human and I know that as a parent, I've made mistakes and will in the future. Lord, redeem the past and strengthen me for the future. Lord, thank You that You will give me Your love, wisdom, strength, direction, and patience to be the best parent for my children. Help me to leave a legacy that brings You glory and one that will enable my children to know how much You love them. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
