today

today is the day. we will be at the hospital at 10am EST. we have the operating room reserved for 12:30. if we don't get bumped, and all goes smoothly, sophia should be out in the world by 1:00-1:30ish.

if you feel so inclined, i would love your prayers.

-for the spinal. that they would get it in the first time.
-for sophia's safe arrival.
-for sophia's health.
-for skill in the doctor's hands putting me back together.

the kids are in great hands. jake and rose are 'it' right now. consistently trumping mommy and daddy. auntie rose put a lot of thought into their time. the kids each have a bag of treats that they can pick out of each day. included are cards for each day. a fun activity is on each card. alaythia carried hers around all day yesterday. uncle jake and isaiah have been rocking out, playing basketball and laughing hard. i can't say how much it means to know that my kids will be well taken care of and very loved.

auntie rose is also lending us her iphone, so we should be able to update everyone fairly quickly.

thank you in advance for your prayers.

We cannot wait to see pictures! Your two oldest children are being perfectly entertained. . .it doesn't get much better than auntie and uncle - especially those two! We are praying for good rest for you and Sophia especially as you recover! We miss you, hurry home! Whenever you need meals, PLEASE get on my blog at http://mycomfortkitchen.wordpress.com and order whatever meal and salad to match that you all would like. I take orders every week til Friday and deliver on Wednesday. If you look and don't find anything that strikes your fancy, try again some other time as the menu changes each week.

Blessings, and we can hardly wait to meet Sophia!
