My sister and her husband are expecting their first baby at the end of July beginning of August. While doing their big ultrasound today they found that the baby has an omphalacele. Basically this means that some of the abdominal organs are growing outside of the abdomen around the umbilical cord. The extent is not known. It is sometimes linked to other chromosomal disorders. It has been suggested that they get an amniocentesis, but they are unsure of this. They are going to see a perinatologist tomorrow. Please pray for them and the baby. This was an exciting time for them and now they are left with alot of questions and uncertainty tonight.Pray for Jami and Blake to have peace and hope. Pray for healing, God is bigger than this and can heal this sweet baby and use this for his Glory. Pray for Dr Gonzolez, that God will give him the knowledge and wisdom to make Godly decisions tomorrow. For the grandparents and other family that we all have patience and understanding of how they feel and what they are going through.

Not Me Monday
Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.
I did Not have a busy week with my precious children this past week.
We were Not getting over the stomach flu- all five of us. I did Not have 3 children sick at one time and I was Not also sick at the same time. Thank God for the making of Zofran.
I did Not have 8 hours of dance pictures this week. I did Not do this with all my children in tow. I did Not do this without the help of my sweet hubby. The pictures were Not unorganized to the point of me and several other moms wanting to pull our hair out!!!!!!!
We did Not spend 12 hours Saturday shopping for a piece of furniture to put a new TV on or in. This is Not the 2nd time my hubby got a tv that did Not fit into my favorite armoir. I was Not thrilled beyond when he said he was putting the doors back on, only to find out that this TV did NOT, not fit in my favorite piece..... It is Now Not upstairs being used as a linen closet.
I did Not let my children have a skip day to just hang out in the house with mom. It was Not a fabulous day.

My church is causing a stir...
Well apparently my church is causing a stir all over the country.
Visit http://www.daystarchurch.tv/greatsexgodsway to find out why.
Why shouldn't we talk about sex in church. God lays out a plan for sex. So we should teach it right? We have a serious problem with the "casualness" our children think it is. Oral sex isn't sex, friends with benefits, hooking up... People wake up!!!! One man, one women, in marriage. Period!!!!

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
March 1st in Alabama and it is snowing. I heard rumors of this snow all week. I have to admit I did not believe it. All of you in the north are laughing right now at our "snow". Just stop! This is the most snow we have seen in 10 years.
It really wasn't much a few inches and it didn't last long either. By 2p.m. it was gone. But wow it was beautiful. And for a moment I thought it would be nice to live somewhere where we did have snow. Then we got all wet and cold. You see, here in Alabama where is doesn't snow we do not have clothes for this kind of precip. All of our clothes became wet and then we got cold. So it was all fun and games until someone got wet and cold.
Brennon and Madi woke up early. They went outside and played until it melted. They would come in and change their clothes and out they would go. Lil B wasn't too sure about it all. He wanted to play in it but didn't like the cold of it. I couldn't find gloves small enough to fit him, because here in AL we don't use them! I used socks which he didn't like either. The first thing he did was sit in it. He was so funny.
Madi and me make a snow women complete with daffodils as hair, and ice cycle for a nose and poky balls for eyes, the lips were a small magnolia leaf.

Not Me Monday
Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.
I did not skip all 3 workout days this week. I was not so tired because my sweet baby is sleeping through the night like all 17 month olds do.. right? Really if anyone reading this has any helpful hints we are desperate. This baby is from another planet where people never sleep.
My laundry is not piled up HIGH down my hall. I always am caught up. HA!
I did not fight with my hubby over stupid things that do not really matter, we are in love and being married to him for 13 years has been wonderful everyday.
I did not let lil B go around at home all week with bows, clips and headbands on. He does not have a fascination with his sisters things.
I did not start spring cleaning upstairs and find we are really messy and have too much stuff. My house is orderly and clean all the time.
We did not have too much fun in the snow yesterday. We did not play, come put on more dry clothes and then go back again. I was not glad to see it melt and things dry off.
We did not accidentally shut our outside cat in the playroom and leave her in there over night. I did not think someone was in our house after the kids left for school this morning. I was not relieved to only find the cat. I did not shut the door back to deal with whatever mess she might have made later.
My sweet hubby is not at work today with a stomach virus. He is not stuck in meetings with people from Germany and he will be home soon. I love you and hope you feel better. Come home soon.
