Thank you so much everyone for your kind words and prayers…including all the comments at my blog.   They really mean a lot to me.

When Jacob died nearly 2 years ago, I was 43 and thought he would be my last baby. I never intended to open myself up again for the possibility of losing another child. The pain was more than I ever thought I could endure. Funny how God sends people into your life to gently guide you to a new way of thinking. Several of those people are from this list and I am so blessed to call them my friends .

I am grateful for your prayers and humbly ask that you offer one now and then, that all is well with the little one.

So many thanks !

Donna -

Congratulations and prayers are headed to Heaven for you and your family.

I also wanted to say that the Mary Cassatt picture on your blog hangs on my bedroom wall, because dh sayst reminds him of when our dc would come into bed with me; apparently I and they look (at least to dh ) a lot like that picture.

BUT -- this is not about me it is about YOU and your precious little one. I am so happy for you.

Peace,
Nancy
