The two of you are having a ministry to all of us who read your blog. You're telling us that even though it's not easy you are reminded that His grace is sufficient and that we can do all things through Christ who gives us strength. It will even effect Elena for the good. Thank you for your transparency and for being salt and light to all of us and for showing us Jesus. Love, Loretta

Katie, my sweet friend, I am so proud of you! Your strength is inspiring! I am glad that in the midst of such extreme pain that you recognize and faithfully continue to trust that God WILL sustain you!! Your faith (and Peter's, too) are showing little Elena that she can trust in Him, too! Well done! Love, Hols:)

baby blessing

I feel so blessed to announce a quick answer to our prayers... I'm pregnant! We went to the midwives yesterday and I'm 8 weeks, 2 days; due January 17, 2011! I posted a couple months ago about our miscarriages and I was prepared for it to be awhile to make this announcement, needless to say we are SO thankful for this quick answer to prayer. We continue to pray as we make our way through the first trimester. Until Sunday when morning sickness hit, my main symptom has been fatigue - luckily Elena is more than able to entertain herself these days. Now I will battle morning sickness - hoping that it won't be long. The midwife did tell us that they are not willing to take on my case, due to my cardiac history, so we're trying to decide on an OB/ GYN . I was sad to hear that, as I've heard such good things about the midwives from my friends; although I'm thankful that they are honest to hand me off to be in a higher level of care. Not sure if I'll be treat...

Recovery-Update 13

PRAISE GOD - THE TUBES ARE OUT!!!! The tubes were removed this morning and not long after that the epidural was removed! Katie is no longer tethered to anything when she wants to get up and move around and, without the tubes, getting up and moving around isn't nearly as painful. That being said, they tell us the name of the game is still "pain management". The epidural was removed as a step to transitioning her to a pill form of pain medication since she won't have an epidural at home. Katie is supposed to monitor what "level" of pain she thinks she is at. When she gets to what she considers a 3 she needs to alert the nurse. We are to anticipate it will take the nurse ~15 minutes to get the medication to Katie and then another 45 minutes, after she takes it, for the medication to get into her system and take effect. The surgeon told us this morning that she's probably not going home tomorrow but "let's think about Wednesday." He said t...

grand opening

Welcome. Today marks the Grand Opening of my new blog. As the title suggests, I'll be blogging from the heart. Back in my days working at the Chamber of Commerce, I would have had a giant (and I mean GIANT) pair of scissors to perform a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony ... but I don't work there and being a mom now, I don't think that's such a good idea. So, instead, I'll simply post the beginning of many pictures of my 17 month old daughter, Elena, taken this week: Happy Fall!
