Eesh!<BR/><BR/>When I was on bedrest, I struggled with feeling guilty, too! It was right after the fire, and I already had three other kids who needed some serious emotional support, along with their "daily maintenance".<BR/>Then one day, it struck me. "Other people can listen to my kids, or comb their hair, or do their laundry—but only I can grow this baby!"<BR/><BR/>Other people can grade the papers, plan the lessons, contact the students, clean, cook. Let them do it. Your holy assignment for today is to help God grow a part of the future!<BR/><BR/>Thinking of you often, and praying each time I do.....https://www.blogger.com/profile/11058123979919202353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13381427.post-90461682066429451022007-04-28T11:17:00.000-07:002007-04-28T11:17:00.000-07:00Jason, How amazing to hear from you.

The less I worry about the baby, the more grateful I am for this time to write. I wonder how your writing it going! I get updates on you and your new family through Rosie Bills. :-)Christinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03929226208854474967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13381427.post-7194626314695667562007-04-27T15:39:00.000-07:002007-04-27T15:39:00.000-07:00Christin,Just heard about your pregnancy and bedre...Christin,<BR/>Just heard about your pregnancy and bedrest through Corrie Easley. On the one hand, I feel a little anxious for you, a little nervy, because my sister-in-law is on bed rest too, and she's anxious, and a little nervy. But on the other hand, I'm happy for you, because I can't think of anything better than going through the most important event of your life with hours upon hours in which to write about it. Maybe that's shallow of me. Maybe it'd be better if you were up and about and doing whatever, but I think something great - aside from the baby of course - can come out of this. Best of luck to you and your writing and your knitting. And I will say a prayer for the baby, growing past luck and chance, in you.Jason Heronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10378641979235094678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13381427.post-20109286739133278512007-04-27T13:54:00.000-07:002007-04-27T13:54:00.000-07:00Amy - do you ever have weird moments during your p...Amy - do you ever have weird moments during your pregnancy when you start to think of the baby in terms of a seed or a bud? There's a baby inside of us! Really, this process is so strange.;-)<BR/><BR/>Dave and Lynnette - You guys are great! Thank you so much.<BR/><BR/>Jess - So good to hear from you. I need to stop by your blog and say "hi."
