Mommy life: Calling our prayer team

In the last 14 months, we have had so many people praying for us, first dozens and then hundreds ... first for non-baby issues, then for issues surrounding Braska's health and our strength. Without this support, we know we would not have survived with even what little sanity we have left at this point. It is absolutely invaluable in my eyes to have had the support we did. The peace we had during the surgery, the calm with which we looked at her immediately after surgery(graphic picture warning), knowing that even though she looked quite scary at the moment, she was already healthier than she'd ever been...these things were surely due to all those praying for our comfort during that time.

So now, I'm calling on all of you who were part of that big, wonderful group of those praying for us to now pray for a couple of precious little girls and their families. On Tuesday, June 5, these little girls will be undergoing surgery like Braska did three months ago. We know how scary it is, and we know how difficult watching our little one go through it was, but we also know how awesome life on the other side is. We simply ask that our prayer pals spend time each day between now and then, specifically Tuesday during the day, to pray for little Georgia and her parents and little Delphine and her parents as they walk through this experience. We've been praying for peace for the families, strength for the little girls, and wisdom and stamina for the nurses and doctors taking part in the operations and follow-up care.

We hope someday to get the privilege of meeting these beautiful little ones, but in the meantime, we will keep tabs on them through their blogs. You can keep up with Georgia's progress at Unringing the Bell and with Delphine's progress at Banana Migraine.

Thanks, team!

Tricia and Melissa...All blessings to you and yours.

  4. Cate--She HAS come a long way...everyone told us she'd be a different girl, and though she's still very much Nebraska Larae, she was almost unrecognizeable by about day 3 in the hospital.. truly amazing what is possible.

    Mum2Brady--Thank you for coming by! And thanks for your prayers.

    Karen K--Tell Maddy and Gracie thanks too for saying prayers for Miss G and little d.

Mommy report: Chatty girl

Braska's been just loving her words lately. She's still signing some, mostly when we're in public or around strangers, but she's adding more words all the time. Many of her words are just attempts at the actual word, but that's where we all start, right?!? We're not saying that she'll be giving speeches next month, but we are very proud that she's become such a mimic and that she is loving using so many sounds. We practice often, just running through her words, signs, and tricks. She especially loves to chime in with videos of herself, so I've been working on compiling all her favorites for her to work with. As I was editing this, she was sitting here saying the words over and over. So funny to hear her talking to herself on the screen and loving it. So here's a peek at some clips from our practice session tonight. Some words are more obvious than others. They are all great attempts, though, and we'll celebrate that! Make an on-line

Nebraska meets Indiana

Braska's reaction to meeting the very kind Rory Feek and his beautiful daughter Indy.  I missed the part where Braska said Indy was sooooooooooo cute!  :) Our dream would be a photo showing the two most beautiful "states" together, right?!?  :)
