Surgery Update no. 2
Meg has been moved to an area of the hospital where they can monitor her heart more closely. She's in a much bigger room now, which is nice. The highlight of the day was that Cynthia, Megan's friend from freshman year at BYU, happened to be in town with her husband Travis and came to visit Meg in the hospital. We have been thrown for a loop with Megan having cardiac complications and having to stay in the hospital longer than expected. Cyn and Travis' visit was a welcome distraction from the craziness.Wednesday, January 21, 2009
Surgery Update no. 1
This was Megan in Pre-op. She was nervous, but I think she's cute. She was in pretty good spirits for going into a surgery. She had a laporoscopic cystectomy today. Well, in theory. There was actually no cyst there to remove once they got inside, so we are still not sure what's been causing her pain all this time. Sunday, January 18, 2009
With love in our hearts...
We are sad to have to announce that the birth mother who chose us has changed her mind and has decided to parent her baby. We have a great deal of love and respect for her and ask that you will pray for her and for her son. We know that the decision whether to place a child for adoption is never an easy one and that she has a lot to deal with right now that we can't understand. We have been so blessed to be allowed to see the hand of the Lord in our lives as we've traveled down the road of adoption and have witnessed many miracles. We knew from the start that our path may be a bumpy one, but we also know that the Lord will bless our family to grow in His time. We look forward, with arms wide open, to the time our family will grow again. We are more grateful than ever for your support and prayers along the way!

We played with this box ALL day long today.
He hid in it, played turtle with it on his back, drove it like a car, pretended it was a boat, and on and on....

He keeps saying, "Head broke a winnow."
I heard a crunch today and turned around to see Carter wedged between the couch and window saying "stuck!"... with his head dented back into the curtain and blinds a little too far for it to be normal. I was afraid to move him, afraid he had glass in his head. I asked if he was okay. He said he was okay. Joe and Claudia taught us never to pick him up if we are afraid he's hurt badly, but instead to have him come to us so we know he's okay and we aren't causing further injury. It's hard to overcome that initial instinct, but we are getting better at it. He was stuck, and I knew that, but I told him to come to Momma and when I saw him try enough that I knew he could move on his own, I pulled him out. Tender mercy, he was completely untouched by the glass. Saying prayers of thanks. Here's the window from the inside and the outside:

Anyone up for a little healthy competition???
If you feel you may have a bit of weight to lose after the holidays and you want in on a very motivating competition, click here to check out my friend Mindy's weight-loss challenge. The last time she held this, each person put in $25 and then at the end of the challenge, whomever had lost at least 10% of their starting weight got to split the jackpot. I was a winner and got to buy a new pair of SMALLER jeans with my prize money! This time, we each are putting in $40 and there are a lot more people involved...therefore, the pot is much bigger! GAME ON!
If you are interested, let me know and I can forward you Mindy's e-mail with more details and the official rules.
