God's little surprises for us

My mom took Cody and Lizzie and I out to eat the other day and this is what Lizzie does when she gets bored at the Chinese buffet. She had us laughing pretty good. I just love this picture. She looks just like her daddy!

Well, this week has been a little stressful for me, but now I know my fate. Let me start with Wednesday. Wednesday we gave the TAKS test which is just a blah day that I was not looking forward to. When I got to work our air was off in the building and as you could imagine, I was not having that right now! Much to my surprise one of my students came up to me before school and handed me this beautiful basket. Her mom makes these and I love them.

This basket has 3 dozen diapers in it ranging from size 1 to 3 and they all say Wesley Paul on the rear. She also made a matching bib and matching keepsake diaper as well. Her company is out of her home and if you are interested it is www.awesomediapers.com or her number is 281-615-8212. I highly suggest them to any soon to be mom.

Thursday was 'the doctors appointment' that we had been waiting for. I am 37 1/2 weeks and we were wanting to see if the baby would turn by then or not. The ultrasound showed that he is still breech. Cody and I asked the dr about our options and we had questions about version to see if it was really what we wanted to do or not. We decided it was a no. We are scheduled for a c-section on May 11th at 7:30am at Cypress Fairbanks Hospital. I will have me a true momma's boy with Mother's Day only the day before.

On the way home I couldn't stop thinking about having surgery. I know that I have been through birth, but surgery. UGH!!! I know that it is something that I will just have to do. I think that I am a little more scared of Cody going through this with me than me going through this! He might need a chair to sit in! :)

As soon as I walked in the door I got the mail and opened a letter from my best friend. It was just what I needed and had me in tears, of course, with my husband snickering because I am crying! He likes to make fun of me lately since I can cry at the drop of a hat.

It said:

"You must be heavy with all the new stuff that has come up with sweet baby Wesley~take comfort! The Lord has already gone before you and has taken care of all the details. Let go of any anxiety of expectations and trust your baby and pregnancy to Him. I hope you're still able to rest and find joy in these last couple of weeks/days. You'll be on the other side in no time. This will all be worth it when you see that sweet baby's face."

Having just scrapbooked our 10 year reunion and knowing the many things that Mel and I have gone through together~I couldn't help but feel so blessed to have such a great encouraging friend in my life. I love you Mel.
