The lord works in mysterious ways...

...and who am I to question why?


A few posts ago, I posted about Dylly's mom
and the great sadness we felt at the loss of
her early term pregnancy.


Was it right to feel so sad over this little life that
had just begun?  She was so new into her pregnancy,
we tried to understand how we were already so 
bonded to this new life within her womb.


Well, as many of you know who have had the heartache
of miscarriage, there's a hormone level that rises as the 
pregnancy evolves.


My daughter had to go several times to have blood work
done to ensure the levels were going down to confirm 
she was not carrying a child any longer.


She did so and went last week for her final blood work test.
Being totally tired of going and the level going down but not
yet at zero, she expressed her frustration.


While on a conference call at work, a 'Private Number' was calling
her.  She figured it was the lab or doctor's office with the results of 
her lastest (and hopefully final) hormone levels.  


Cursing under her breath, saying 'If it comes back at 5 and they make me
go again, I will absolutely scream!'.


Lo and behold, the lord works in mysterious ways, doesn't she?


They were calling to give her the results of her latest round of blood work.
'Your blood work came back and your hormone level is 800.  You're 
pregnant! Congratulations!'


Surprised as all heck and excited beyond belief, she's gone for 2nd round and
an ultrasound and she is, in fact, pregnant once again!


Is it right to be so happy over this little life that has JUST begun?
She's truly so new into this pregnancy, is it possible that we
have already bonded?


Good news/bad news kinda thing though.  When she called to tell me,
I said I was excited but cautiously optomistic... and then added, with our 
luck, she'll be due on April 19th... the day of her sister's wedding...HA!


When she did her rudimentary calculation, her due date is April 13th.


Oh, the lord works in mysterious ways for sure.


Oh... before I forget... SSSSHHHHHHHhhhhhhh... IT'S OUR LITTLE SECRET UNTIL THE FIRST TRIMESTER IS COMPLETED BUT I AM SO EXCITED I HAD TO SHARE!

If I could only hold out...

The always welcomed vacation is still three long weeks
away and I am soooo longing to be off and away!


Question is, can I hold out until then?


Hmmmm, guessing I really have no choice but
I am already thinking about it, already!

Happy 33rd Birthday Son!

Today, or rather 33 years ago today, I welcomed
my first born into this world!

Oh, how I'd love to go back in time and hold, hug
and kiss him like I used to do.

He was my bunny, my stephanotis, my stevearino and
I loved him so!

Today, he's grown into a responsible, educated young man.


I know, you couldn't tell he's responsible from this picture but he's a free spirit and I think this picture is cool.  
A wee bit old, he's now sporting a much shorter hair style.

My wish for him is that he find someone to 
share his life with and be happy.

Happy Birthday Stephen (& me)
I love you more today than yesterday
but not as much as tomorrow!

Hope his someone special drops a great,
big smooch on him!
