the countdown continues

Can you believe that by this time next week I will be back at home with my abdominal cerclage? I am so happy and nervous at the same time.



Seems like I have a million things to do before flying to Chicago on Wednesday. They will all get done even if it doesn’t happen until 2 or 3:00in the morning. I packed my clothes tonight and will just need to pack the toiletries on Tuesday.

I have made my list of the things that I cannot forget…( phone charger, IPOD, pain meds, etc)

This weekend was great rainy weather and I admit…I DID NOTHING BUT ENJOY IT! I spent the whole day inside yesterday writing a speech for a memorial at our local hospital. I am not really sure how I consented to speak so soon after loss but I am sure that I will get through it just fine. The speech is actually coming along well. I don’t feel compelled to JUST tell my story but to offer hope to others also. Recalling the journey of three losses was very emotional for me yesterday. I realized that I had really suppressed a great deal of emotions. I also realized that God’s strength really is perfect in weakness. I am just amazed that I lived thru all of this.

The event is 10/18. I will be sure to either post the speech after I give it or give an update about it. If you know of anyone who has been touched by miscarriage, stillbirth, or early infant loss, please encourage them to come to the event if you are in the area. You can e-mail me for details.

As much as I would love to continue this ramble, I can’t! I still have a growing to –do list before me. We’ll chat soon! Thank you all so much for your prayers and encouragement. Please continue to pray for traveling grace and pray for my surgeon Dr. Haney.
