Prayer Request

We are needing some prayer if you think about us! Hadley's 8th cast is scheduled for Oct. 6th. She would be able to get her cast off Sept. 25th or 28th. This would mean we would have a 1 1/2 wk old baby when she is cast free and 2 1/2 wk old baby when she gets casted.

I asked the nurse if we happen to have problems with baby or recovery, if we could reschedule, however, the Dr is gone the month of September, will be back for a wk(when her cast is scheduled) and will be gone again in October! So, if it didnt work out on that date, we really don't have any other options!

I am extremely emotional about all this! Mostly because I will still be recovering when Hadley is free from her cast. I wont be able to swim with her! I just am afraid I will be so limited and wont be able to enjoy her like I have been when that cast is off! Not only will I be recovering, but trying to get the hang of having a 3rd child and nursing!
I worry about when she does have her 8th cast put on that I will not be able to be there as much as she needs me. She is such a mommy's girl! I want to be there 100% for her! I fear that this will be really hard!

Adjusting to a new child is usually challenging already! Now we have a casting in the mix.

Please pray that it goes ok! That I have a good and fast recovery so I can meet Hadley's needs too! That this baby will cooperate through all this! And that Hadley wont feel that her special time is being taken away because of a new baby! That adjusting to a 3rd child wont be as rough as it was for us adjusting to a 2nd! That Andy and I stick together as a team through all the stress of no sleep, a new child, and everything going on! And that God be our guidance and comfort at this time.

Andy's brother will also be home at this time from Iraq for only 2 wks! I don't know how were going to make all this work. It just seems like everything is piling up at the same time!

And we can't forget about Mianna! Her birthday is Oct. 19th and I still want to plan a special bday for her too! I'm hoping to get a lot of those plans squared away before all of this happens so I wont have to worry about it so much then!

I just need to trust God and his timing with all of this. God's timing is always perfect! It is just really hard to sit back and just trust that he knows how it will all work out.

Please forgive me, I am an emotional wreck about all of this. Doesn't help I am in my last month of pregnancy; my hormones are already messed up!

If you think of us, please say a prayer for all of this!
Thank you!

Potty Trained

Hadley is 100% potty trained! Well, not 100% - she still has to wear a diaper to bed, but other than that, she's in big girl underwear. And she made the decision to do that all on her own. I have to say, she was the easiest kid to potty train, I didnt do anything! We started by running around the house naked and if we did that, she would alway go on the potty, but when we left the house, we had to wear a diaper and she still used it. But then one day, about 2 wks ago she decided she was only going to wear big girl underwear and diapers were for babies, so we tried it and from that day on, she's only been wearing big girl underwear and she's very proud! And thankfully we've only had about 2-3 accidents! I'd say thats pretty good for a beginner :) Go Hadley :) :) :)
