Thinking

I spent a lot of time yesterday just thinking.... my emotions were all a little bit of whack. You see, an online friend of mine was due with twin girls and had to have an emergency c-section. Unfortunately, one of the babies did not make it. Her heart stopped beating before being born. Now little Emily has a guardian angel, a sister named Lauren. I spent yesterday grieving for Katy and Steve and wondering how in the world they could feel so much joy and sadness in one day... and why did this have to happen? Please keep them in your prayers as they travel a difficult road ahead. The good news is that their daughter Emily is doing well.

I've also been thinking about and praying a lot for my online friend Carrie. She and her husband have been trying to conceive for so long. After many fertility treatments, they are now in the middle of a donor egg IVF cycle. Three embryos were transfered and now it's the waiting game. If I could cross my toes for them, I would.

Our friends next door just welcomed their second son into the world on July 12th. We got to meet precious little Colin James and it made me wonder... was Isaac ever really that small? Time is just flying by, I swear. Congrats to John, Michelle, and Kyle.

So, yesterday was spent just thinking... and feeling grief, anticipation, and joy. As Katy's contact for our message board, I was the one to let all the other girls know about her loss. My eyes tear up just thinking about that poor family. So bittersweet. If you are the praying type, please keep my friends Katy and Carrie in your prayers.
