Shannon has a baby in her belly. It can be a boy baby, a girl baby, a Barbie, and a titty-tat.
Lauren had a baby in her belly when I was pregnant with Shannon and she was four. I asked her if she had a baby in her belly now. She looked at me like that was the most ridiculous question she had ever heard. I guess the answer is no.

No visitors
Omega will not be having any visitors at the hospital. A new policy was announced recently at our hopsital stating no visitors under age 16 due to H1N1. I'm thinking that it will not be lifted by the end of January.
The good thing is that Lauren doesn't do well with hospitals and she flipped out when she came to visit Shannon. I know don't have to worry about that and wonder if I should just not have Lauren visit. Descision made for me.
Since the kids can't visit, I'm out of there at 24 hours. And since the kids can't come visit then no one else is coming either except Bob of course.

In everything
In the midst of everything, we believe He is there and He has a plan for our life.
He was there when Lauren was simply two cells and her chromosomes were already enhanced.
He was there when Bob told me he was being arrested.
He was there during the sentencing.
He was there when we lost our house to foreclosure.
He was there when we moved in with my mother in law.
He was there when I had an inkling that things weren't quite right with Lauren.
He was there when my pregnancy test turned immediately positive as I was trying to juggle a 18 month old, a 3 year old with no money and no home of our own.
He was there at Lauren's first IEP meeting.
He was there when I felt otracized by His church.
He was there after every job loss.
He was there when we packed it up and moved.
He is there with every note home about Lauren.
He is there with every medication change and therapy trial.
He was there when Lauren looked at me and said "I wish I do that like them but I can't"
And then,
He was there for the birth of all our children.
He was there when I realized their was no one I'd rather be with them Bob.
He was there when I was hired back at a job I love.
He was there when I completed probation.
He was there when we fought our insurance company and finally won.
He was there when Lauren rode a bike.
He was there when we found a great house to rent.
He was there when I got a raise.
He was there when Bob got a new job.
He was there when Lauren shouted "I see a cross, Jesus die for me and you"
He was there when she wrote her name.
He was there when Shannon says "I love you mommy"
He was there when Ellie says "You my best mommy ever"
He is there in the valleys and the mountains, in the cool summer breezes and the frightening storms, and the highs and the lows. For this I am certain, He is there.

Farley comes to visit
Farley is Lauren's 1st grade teacher's watch dog. He watches all the students and then confers with her and goes home with someone with very good behavior that day.
Well, he got to come home with Lauren today. She walked around the house and introduced Farley to all of her friends and gave him the grand tour.
We took Farley to the mall and ate in the food court. He then went with us to play in the playland.

Homecoming
We love going back to our old college (now university). We try to go back for homecoming every year. The girls like the stroll down memory lane as well or at least they don't complain. The highlight of the visit for them is staying a hotel.
It was so cold sitting and waiting for the parade. It did get warmer as the day went by.
Shannon was so excited to get candy that she kept yelling "I got candy Daddy"
We made them suffer through a football game of course. Guess that's what happens when your daddy played football until he was a sophmore in college!
They had bounce things for the kids set up. This is where the girls and I spent most of the football game. Shannon was being tough stuff that day.
It was great to get back to the hotel. The school we went to is built into a hillside. We can honestly tell the kids how we walked uphill to school both way (and be honest). Now, the five feet of snow would definetely be an exaggeration!
