Today I...

I am taking the invitation to be tagged from this blog I read.

Today I...


Ate: 1 plain bagel and cream cheese, 2 peanut butter cups, and a bowl of noodles.


Felt: Content


Listened: to Nicol Sponberg's Resurrection. I love this song--and very fitting for Good Friday.


Watched: Nothing yet!


Loved: My sister's recent blog post. My niece cracks me up--I love her spelling and pictures. I equally loved the video my childhood friend Brigid posted on Facebook. Her husband is a Navy SEAL in Iraq right now, she works for the Padres and her little 3 yo son got to yell "Play Ball" to start a recent Pad's game after a video message from his daddy in Iraq.


Hoped: that my husband would come home early tonight and handle dinner and bathtime. He did!


Wished: that I could see the house my best friend just bought in Texas. To anyone from Texas reading this...I've VERY RELUCTANTLY handed my best friend over to your state. But, I'm glad she got her first house. :-)


Enjoyed: Listening to my son try to say "tickle, tickle, tickle" in his carseat today.


Wondered: When my son will start talking!!!


Drank: Orange Juice


Wanted: to have the time to get to Children's Place to get Jack's Easter outfit. Tomorrow, I guess...


Looked: Stellan's bracelets...still looking...


Tag! You're it.
Leave me a message if you take the tag.

On a closing note--after almost 4 weeks in the PICU, baby Stellan's heart has finally responded to a medicine regimen. He's moving on down to the step-down unit. Did I not say that Easter is a time for miracles????

Prayer Request

I've blogged about MckMama when she was pregnant with her baby, Stellan. Long story short, when she was pregnant, her baby went into heart block, including severe tachycardia, and it appeared there was little hope of him surviving. Miraculously, he made it through and was born without a trace of the heart problems he experienced in the womb. Now about 3-4 months old, he caught a cold and received a nebulizer treatment that inexplicably pushed him back into tachycardia. He's going on a few days of his heart rate in the 200s and things aren't looking great. All attempts to convert his heart have failed so far. MckMama and her brood need your prayers. Please join us in praying for Stellan's healing or visit her blog.

Prayers for MckMama

The gal who writes one of my favorite blogs, affectionally known as MckMama, will be meeting her new baby son, Stellan, tomorrow morning via cesarean. Stellan has had a rough start in life--about half-way through the pregnancy, among other things, he was diagnosed with an irreversible heart block that miraculously reversed and has been on a better path since then. Still, it is not entirely known how he will fare once he is born. So, please join me in prayer tonight and tomorrow for MckMama to be bathed in peace and resolution as she steps into a "deep hole", for Stellan's safe arrival and for his health, and for MckMama's subsequent recovery. If he does require a NICU stay or other treatments, please pray for their family's strength as they walk that incredibly difficult road and for God to lead the hands and hearts of every doctor who works with Stellan.

Regardless of the outcome, I know that God's will is at work. This story has touched so many lives--Stellan's life has already been a full one. We're cheering for you MckMama and Stellan!
