Good Morning! Well, I finally have time to post again....Rayna is at preschool and Noah decided to take a nap in the swing we borrowed from our pastor's family (Thanks Pastor Michael!) I have no advice today...just a prayer request and praise! If you know my family at all, you know that Noah was born in June, 6 1/2 weeks early and spent 13 days in NICU at Athens Regional Medical Center. Of course it was a stressful time, but I could get through it by placing my hope and joy in Christ. Well, as I sat out at a friend's yardsale on Saturday, I saw a lady walk up looking at Noah and me. She asked about him and told me that her daughter had just had a baby 3 weeks early who was in the NICU in Athens and not doing well. I have been praying that God would show me how I could use my experience there to reach out to others and point them toward Christ. I got the lady's phone number so I could check on the baby, and I'm planning to get together a little care package for her daughter as she deals with this situation. I am praising that God has given me this opportunity, and I am askung for prayer for baby Braydon. I am also praying that God will use me and my own experience in this situation.

Wendi! So glad you're blogging! Although it's hard to find the time to post with 2 little ones, it's so worth it to connect with other Moms! :) Abby was in the NICU for a week (but she was a week OVERDUE, not premature! ;) ) and I still can vividly remember all the time we spent with her there! As far as schedules, we were in the same boat as you with Abby on a great schedule and Josiah nowhere near one. It took some time, but he's now on a perfect bedtime schedule (dinner, playtime, bath, book, nurse him, asleep!) and he's down by 6:30 every night! Abby's routine starts at 7pm with a bath, 3 books, devotion time (Bible story, hymn time, prayer), and then potty/brush teeth, and bed... she's usually down between 8-8:15pm. It was a challenge adjusting with two little ones, but now, the bedtime routine is a life saver! Hope you all are adapting well! Can't wait to see pics of Noah!
Your kids to so cute Amy! I hope we can get our families together one day! Hey...my pastor's wife just started a blog, you might like to check out. For her first post she has asked ministers wives to describe how they found out their husbands were called into ministry. I think it will be fun to see the responses! Her blog is www.trishstovall.wordpress.com
See ya,
