Reeling

I'm still reeling from our news yesterday. I feel like taking another pregnancy test just to make sure I wasn't dreaming. Thankfully, I have another blood test tomorrow to monitor my hormone levels. The results will be a much-needed confirmation, since this is such an unbelievable (but very welcome) situation!

Since this is a "high risk" pregnancy, we will undergo many tests and ultrasounds during the next weeks and months. Hopefully we will have nothing but good news and praise! I am so thankful for the well-wishing calls and emails we've already received. We especially appreciate your prayers. Thank you so much for praying on our behalf!

Liliana is so excited about her new brother or sister. She touches my tummy and says, "the baby is cute and cuddly!" Liliana is such a blessing to our family, and I can't wait to see what a nurturing and adoring big sister she'll be. Praise God for her and for this new miracle!

On to another subject close to my heart. I am currently at Kate's house with Stuart and Liliana, while Sandy (Kate's mom) is at the hospital. Stuart is napping and Liliana is enjoying the boys' toys. Although my pregnancy exhaustion is hitting me hard today, I'm glad to be able to serve my friends. If you feel led, please lift up Kate's health to the Lord. She has been in surgery since a little after 11:00am. Her spirits were bright & her sense of humor intact, but this is a heavy and serious surgery. It is my prayer that she be completely healed through this surgery and that her personality remains unchanged. Thanks a million for your prayers.

I praise God for our wonderful blessing and for caring for Kate as she is in the hospital. ~Ramona
