A Little Lady.....

Our little misses......

and sweet little kisses.....

Our very own little lady.

Please pray for Alahna Mogan

*UPDATE: Baby and mother are doing well and Baby Alahna is expected to make it. She is even breathing on her own. This family has a long road ahead of them and they anticipate a lengthy stay in the hospital for the baby. Please continue to keep them in your prayers.



Alahna Morgan was born at 5:32 tonight at 5 months 3 weeks gestation. She is only 8 inches long. The doctors could not stop her mommy's labor despite many efforts and her due date was not until February. Her daddy called tonight to say that mommy and baby are okay right now but they haven't gotten to see her yet. Her big brother Preston who is only 10 months old is staying with his aunt but may be coming to stay with us some over the weekend so that his family can visit his mommy. Please pray for them all. This unexpected blessing has surprised them in so many ways already. They had a difficult time getting pregnant with Preston (about 6yrs waiting) and now they have a little girl that they've always dreamed of. May God continue to bless them and spare this sweet girl's life if it be his will. This family has already endured loss through several miscarriages and failed attempts at conception. I only hope that God has plans for her here and isn't needing her to be with him in Heaven.

A Bit Under the Weather....

Blogging has taken a backseat lately as we have all been under the weather. Scott and I even missed some work this week to care for Raegan and try to get ourselves in better shape. She has had a terrible cough since Saturday. I called the on-call doctor and they called in steroids for 2 days. It is better but still pretty scary to listen to at night so we haven't gotten much rest. During the day she is pretty active but you can tell that she is struggling to be her chipper self. I called the doctor on Monday and they said to let it run its course since she no longer has fever and they gave me instructions on some OTC meds for her to take. If she's not better by Friday... I will be calling them back.

Scott is hoping to get an available promotion at work which would mean more hours but also more pay. We are praying that he gets it and he stands a good chance. Please help us in our efforts. He is certainly qualified but so is another guy so we are hoping that it works out in our favor.

Thank you to our family and friends who have called to check on us while we've been sick and let us know we are loved. A special thank you for the delicious soup that you brought while we were so sick. From the bottom of our heart. We appreciate you so much.

7 Weird Things About Me

1. I am addicted to sunflower seeds and could eat them year round. Oddly though they made me sick when I was pregnant but on the other hand so did sweets, especially chocolate.

2. I am SCARED of the DARK. Yes... you read that right. I also don't like confined spaces.

3. I have an unusually keen sense of smell and always have ever since I was a child. Sometimes my family teases me about it.

4. I talk way too much! It runs in my family. I know it is an annoying habit but one that is so hard to break.

5. I am a super-planner almost to a fault but I am very flexible when things get off schedule. Occupational hazard I guess.

6. I love the smell of fresh plowed dirt and it reminds me of my childhood growing up on a farm. Now I know that the smell I love actually comes from the bacteria in dirt releasing malodors as it is being disrupted and turned with a plow. The thought of this kind of grosses me out but I still love the smell.

7. I had such an easy labor that the doctor let me deliver Raegan myself in the hospital and they let me keep the placenta and umbillical cord when they found out I was a bio teacher. Totally weird but an incredible experience.



Now, its your turn Amanda, Debbie, Krista, Angel (Blessed with 4), and Susan.
