I am sure Abby will treasure that time also .... I have been praying for you - during this time of joy and yet longing to share it with a mom (I actually do understand this as you know). Liam's birthday is tomorrow and my mom/parents have plans so aren't coming ... sad what they are missing! I miss your mom for you as you write about her as she was truly what God created a mom to be!

I was so thankful for nurses and doctors who were so skilled to know what to do and get it done quickly. Praise the Lord for the safe arrival of your little Susie.<br /><br />I am so glad that your sister has been able to be there to help you out. Recovering from a c-section is a long and difficult process and I am so glad that in the absence of your mom your little sister is able to step in and do some of those things that your mom would have wanted to do. What a blessing!<br /><br />We'll be praying for you during these next several weeks as you adjust to your new life of being a mommy.<br /><br />In Christ,<br />Laura Lee (Christen's sister)Mark and Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03254125485586972775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28843855.post-16304137123179287122009-06-09T11:44:37.255-04:002009-06-09T11:44:37.255-04:00You are right.

My Clara Anne was almost 8 pounds, and then I had two almost 10 pounders, so a 6.5 pound baby really looks tiny! Those pictures of her with your hand in them really show her beautiful tiny-ness! So glad that your sister has been with you, and that you've taken so many pictures. Susie will never be this small again! <br /><br />We are rejoicing with you even as the grief for your mom is fresh and new again. I pray the Lord will help you have joy even amidst your grief this week, even as He blessed you with a worshipful heart as you were going through the pains of labor! That was such an encouraging testimony!<br /><br />I'll also be praying for sleep this week! Glad to see you're reading babywise--we used it with all three girls and couldn't have been more pleased with how they did, in fact, learn to sleep on their own, quite early on. Blessings to you!<br /><br />Love in Him,<br />Rachel WRachel Wnoreply@blogger.com
