I'm going to have to be away for a while, and ask that you remember my family in your thoughts and prayers. If you are a regular visitor here at Southern Lagniappe, you know that my husband had hip replacement surgery last week and is at home recuperating. Yesterday, our daughter Whitney, who is six months pregnant with our second grandchild, was admitted to a hospital in Jackson (about an hour away from Vicksburg), due to problems related to her pregnancy. She will have to have complete bed rest for what could be several weeks. I'm going to have my hands full juggling between caring for my husband, taking care of our granddaughter Avery Grace (who will turn six tomorrow) ... and worrying about our daughter and not being able to be there with her and her husband. I could use a couple of clones to help out during this trying time, but I have seen the power of prayer at work many times in our lives, and know that God will give me the strength and wisdom to do what I have to do ... one day at a time. |

Oh, Sweetpea!!! Prayers and thoughts coming your way for all of it, and all your Lovies.
How I WISH I could be there to help out---I've been nurse and care-taker to quite a few family members through surgery and illness and babies. DD#2 had to have eight weeks of BR before Gracie, and so I know exactly what you mean, and I didn't have another someone needing me in that way at the time.
Do take care of YOU, as well.
Thinking of you all,

And a very Happy Sixth Birthday to your Avery!!! May she totally concentrate on her birthday and have no cares.
You KNOW she'll be happy just to be with you so much. Little ones don't dwell a great lot on reasons for things; they mostly accept and enjoy the positive---which will be having you close, whatever the cause.
First of all, happy birthday to Avery...the twins will be 7 (!) on May 21st.
Also, hoping your hubby has a speedy recovery.
Now about your daughter....when I was 5 mo. pregnant with my now-almost 35 year old daughter, I went into labor on Mother's Day. I went to the ER and the dr. could not stop the labor & other complications....I prayed all night that God would keep my baby safe and allow me to deliver her. In October of that year (she was 3 weeks late) she made her appearance....perfect in every way. I call her my "miracle baby" to this day. Janie, I am praying that all will be well with your daughter and her pregnancy. Please know you all are in my prayers daily.
XOXO!
