Baby Sitting, Swimming and a Giveaway

Remember how I said yesterday that I was finally feeling comfortable as a mother and maybe we would start thinking about #2? NO - I'm not pregnant. And I need to get Scott to agree on a "H" name first. ha! Just kidding. (His suggestion is Henrietta. YIKES!)(I already have several I like - it's convincing Scott that none of the names will make kids make fun of them). But today I got a little taste of what that might be like. I kept Laurie's girls for a few hours while she went to the doctor this morning. It actually was pretty easy. (As you can see Harper is just inches or days away from crawling.....she is almost there!)
Emily was so much help to me. She helped play with the two little ones and helped me change their diapers. She is such a sweet girl. They all got in the play pen to play.
I thought this was cute of Harper until I realized she had spit up all over right when I took this.
After Laurie got home, we walked to their neighborhood pool. Only the water was cold and it was overcast and Harper was tired so we ended up only staying probably 15 minutes.
I laid Harper down to take off her swimming diapers (thank you - I learned my lesson) and she was out. Bless her heart. Playing with big kids and few minutes of swimming just did her in!

I know so many of you are praying for Stellan today. Please continue to pray. Also pray for Abby. And there are SOOOOOO many more just like them who need our prayers. You can find a long list on my prayer blog. It is very overwhelming and I know a lot of my friends and I have talked about how it seems like there are SO many sick babies and kids and families......but I think the blogging world has just made things so small. Your inner circle probably doesn't know as much hurt - but these requests are from all over the globe. Thank for the love and support you give each other. I hope that in the blog world you are not just finding sadnes.......but also SO MUCH JOY!!! There are so many happy, funny, wonderful things out there as well!!!!

And one last thing......a fun thing. A prayer request that has had a good ending - sweet Bentley and her heart - her mother is going to do a giveaway for one of you of a blog design. Go here and check her out! She also gives away one design a month on her site so you might win there also! Just leave me a comment and let me know you are interested and one lucky winner will win! I'll draw for it on Wednesday!
