Precious Chloe

Inside my sweet sister's belly is a precious little girl named Chloe... She is a tiny thing, 2 pounds... I'm so burdened for her tonight for she is anxious to enter our world... But it's not time.. You're not big enough baby girl!!! Please wait awhile.. Enjoy the protection and the nurturing of your sweet mother... Enjoy the quiet, the peace, the safety... We are so ready to meet you, but please wait a while...We've got the rest of our lives together... Take time to grow and be strong so we can all live a long happy life together.. I love you so much even though I've never met you... I can't wait to hold you and kiss your sweet face...But not yet..not yet sweet baby girl..Enjoy the quiet and wait.. please wait...

Father God, please protect our little Chloe and make her strong inside my sweet sister. Please give my sis patience and hope and encouragement and love and comfort and keep her from pain. Protect her and the little miracle you have placed inside of her...Thank you for the beautiful gift of life... Thank you for Chloe.. Thank you that she is healthy... Please give her more time to grow and be strong...We love you and thank you again for this sweet baby girl.. We trust you make her healthy and strong.. We are forever grateful...

I've Got This

I tend to be overwhelmed. I need to get to work on time. I need to do a good job at work. I need to wash clothes. I need to wash dishes. I need to read books. I need to watch more productive things on television. I need to empty the kitty litter box more. I need to start running again. I need to lose a little weight. I need to be a better wife and step-mom. IT NEVER ENDS....Thus the head spinning and not being able to sleep at night and feeling like a crazy woman all the time!!!

My precious husband sat me down the other day and said "I need one thing from you. Focus on your job, do your best, and I will take care of the rest."  My goodness... I felt such relief.. Like the load had been lifted off my shoulders...I'm focusing on ONE thing... For me, for my family...my precious, precious family... I feel like I'm being carried now...It's so beautiful to have a partner in life..Such a new feeling for me...I have NEVER experienced it.. Someone gazing into my eyes and saying "I've got this...relax".... Wow... What a feeling...
