I was very excited to have 3 comments the other day. Thank you to those who are "followers". Not much has happened today, just getting through another day. My wonderful hubby is coming tonight to stay here with me in the hospital. It will be good to have this time together even though it is in a hospital room. I'll take what I can get. He will probably need to take the computer with him to be able to use for Sunday but if there is any changes I'll have him post the news.
My little Jaci told me she is ready for me to be home. She also informed me that daddy said we can go to the mall to eat after I get home, and she and I are getting Taco Bell. It's always the little things that excite children. And I can't wait till we are able to go to the mall and get that
Taco Bell. I hope each of you have a great and safe weekend, just remember us in your prayers.
Blessings to you,
Lisa

My attitude today was not at all good! I was ready to call it quits, game over, I'm done!!! Two weeks today in the hospital has taken it's toll. Despite my weakness, I know I need to be strong for my baby. And I need to correct the weight that I first said. The baby is about 4lbs not 2lbs. Today I had another ultrasound and the fluids have increased to 3.99. This is great for the baby and the painful IV has helped. Tomorrow we will be 31 weeks!! Praise the Lord!!

Please help me pray that this precious child does not come Saturday. Some people like my brother think it's funny, but it's not. I'm very serious about this and Dr.Hudson is off this weekend and I'd prefer that no one else to be cutting on me. So help me pray to make it till monday. It helps to have goals, this is the goal. Plus this would give my UTI time to get out of my body. I hope that you have had a good day!!

Blessings to you!

I read today 2 Corinthians 1: 3-11. With all that I am going through God is still and will always be my comfort. He will comfort me through my afflictions, help me to endure this daily battle of trying to do whats best for my baby and being away from my husband and my precious kids at home. My hope is in Him that we will be delivered from this separation in His timing. Now I do admit that I'm praying that we don't deliver on October 31 and hopefully you know why.

I'm glad to see the sun shining through my blinds, it helps lift the spirits. I wanted to thank you all for the prayers, phone calls and visits. Please continue to pray for our family and for baby J to come into this world safely and as healthy as possible.

Verse 11 says, "You also must help us by prayer, so that many will give thanks on our behalf for the blessings granted us through the prayers of many." ESV

Today, I got the dreaded news that I had to have an IV back in my already sore arm. My blood pressure dropped to 80 over something and it made me feel like I was going to be sick. And on top of everything else I still have an UTI. Yes I'm still hanging in there but it is a day by day thing and sometimes it's minute by minute.

Yesterday's ultrasound went well. The estimated weight of the baby is 2lbs and measuring 32 weeks, which is awesome. But the fluid level has dropped to a 2 which is low but the baby is OK. Again we take it day by day.

Well we are working on 2 weeks in my new residence and get this... I got mail!! Yes, I received mail yesterday, I thought I would crack up. But the way it's going, Dr. Hudson doesn't think we will last 4 more weeks. I'm clinging to 2 Cor. 12: 9-10.

Thanks for your prayers and keep us in your prayers.

While I'm Waiting......

Dear Lisa,

While your waiting for your sweet baby to get here, I thought you might have a little time on your hands...since your on bed rest and all. I created this blog for you to update your family, friends, and to stay connected to those you love. I have seen how this crazy world of blogging can form a prayer chain faster than the phone can. I have the amazing power of prayer through some of the blogs I read. God has laid people on my heart through blogs...He has worked on my heart through reading different blogs...my prayer life has been changed! I pray that this is not just a way to keep everyone updated...although it will....but I pray that it would start a chain of prayer for you and sweet baby "J"! I love you my friend....hope you like it....did you see the JDR in the title? I wanted your kid's initials in the title....Steph helped and this is what I got...you can always change it...or get me to:). I love ya friend and am praying for you in a mighty way!! We will all be storming heaven on your behalf and your sweet baby's!

Blessings,

Genie
