babies...

if he title of this blog has you wondering...

"Is she pregnant??"

the answer is...

no.

and at this point in time, where i would LOVE to have a baby, i don't think i could bring myself to be put in the situation where i could become pregnant...

i love my husband. i can't wait to have his child. but we are waiting...

no...the title of this blog is because Jacob and i got to see Frances and Jason's baby last night at UVA in the NICU. Jacob Matthew.

he came to us about 5 weeks early, but under extenuating circumstances, she couldn't carry him any longer.

my camera batteries are dead, so unfortunately i don't have any pictures to post just yet...but i will!

The name Jacob came from Frances' relationship with my husband...Jacob. they are tight brother and sister....though not blood.

He was so blessed to see this child with his name.

i would like to put meals together for this family....anyone like to help? let me know!

I know that these people don't really attend church that often....and i know that the mother doesn't really come at all...

but isn't that something that the church needs to do? reach out to the families who don't go to church? the "shut-ins" and those who have been hurt by the church in the past??

i have had people look at me and say, "i don't know those people, so i'm not going to help them."

Luke 6:32.

"But if you love those who love you, what good is that to you? Even 'sinners' love those who love them."

We are indeed sinners, but we've been saved by grace, and there are sinners out there who are yet to be saved by grace....let's show them the grace God has given to us!

I'll help with a meal. It may be next week, as I fear I am now the sickie...Let me know if she is nursing, as that will affect what I take.
