What Makes Me Smile

My niece Cameron called me last night to tell me that she got saved at church and asked Jesus to "be in her heart." I literally cried. She is such a doll and I am so proud of her. She turns 4 years old on Monday. She told me that when Parker "comes out" he can get saved too - and I can play with her again.

Her 8-month-old sister Callie also brings a huge smile to my face. Just seeing her sweet face and funny expressions can brighten up anyone's day!

Hospital Woes

I spent Monday night in the hospital with contractions 2-3 minutes apart. Luckily they were able to get everything under control and stop the contractions and ease the pain.

Even though they were just "Braxton Hicks" contractions, I feel like I now have a better idea of just what I'm in for in about 7-8 weeks. And all I can say is I'm in trouble - Oh my goodness! Apparently I was having back labor and it literally felt like someone was stabbing me in the back with a knife. Thank the Lord for pain medication.

Now if we can just keep Baby Parker in the oven for a few more weeks!
