I can't sleep!

I want to sleep like that!
It's midnight and I have to be at the hospital, which is one hour away, at 7am. That means I need to get up at 5am. I want to be sleepy! I'm a little edgy. I didn't mention this before but the surgery is two in one. They are going to check out my kidney and bladder problems; but they are also looking for other problems too. I miscarried at 11wks over a year ago and I have not been able to get or stay pregnant since. The doctor thinks there could be something wrong. I guess I didn't mention it because I would rather ignore it, that way I don't feel so crazy! Looking back I know God had his hand on me the entire time. I don't think I could have handled another pregnancy right away. I took it so hard and I grieved so long. I still get overwhelmed sometimes. He knew that better than me. I desperately want more children, but in his timing. I have struggled with those "what if" thoughts today. For about 60 seconds I had myself convinced that I would never have another child. I'm feeling better now, just a little child like. But all it takes is a mustard seed, right! Please pray for me tomorrow. It makes me feel better to know I have friends all over the world praying for my little family. ~ xoxox, Samantha

Samantha,
Thursday, the night before your surgery, I was at the Casting Crowns concert. When they played the song that you had posted for Easter, I was thinking of you and praying for you and your family, and the surgery coming on Friday. Knowing it was one of your favorite songs made it special! I know God will watch over you. Please just post a quick line to let us know how you are doing as soon as you are able.
XO

Your post really touched me as I too have recently lost a child.

It's Saturday morning so you must be recovering now. I hope it went well and I hope you're ok. I also hope the doctors have been able to answer your questions. My thoughts are with you and you're family.

Take good care of yourself hun.

hi my name is ruby. i came by here through oliver rain. but i was reading this post and wanted to give some encouragement to you. before my husband and i got married, my husband found out he has a cist that would prevent us from having kids. he had surgery to try and correct it, but it wasn't a guarantee. after the surgery he checked again and the doctor said the surgery was unsuccessful and we wouldn't be able to have kids naturally. he said the best thing would be invitro... it was a most difficult trial for me to deal with, but i loved him enough and figured we would adopt if we couldnt have kids. so we got married, and to my surprise one month later i was pregnant! then after having my first, my husband can still feel the cist and doubted having children and knew the first was from God and a freak of nature. So after 6 months of giving birth to my first, I was pregnant with my 2nd. So despite the doctors diagnosis and a failed surgery, God really did show he can make miracles. i hope this long comment encourages you to not lose hope, but continue to place it in God. I hope the surgery went well and I will pray for you.

The Handmade Dress Infomercial: Do you suffer from scrached DVD's?

Do your children cry when they can't watch their favorite movie because of irritating scratches? Are you sick of paying good money for movies that are scratched minutes after you take them from the case? Do you often wish that we could just go back to VHS because you could leave them out in the rain, bring them in and use them for a coaster, and then let the baby throw it for fun and it would STILL WORK!? ME TOO ! . We have struggled for years with scratched movies that were no longer watchable, but not anymore! We have finally found the secret formula to rid you of this nasty little problem forever! . Crest Kids Toothpaste! YES, that's what I said! Kids toothpaste! . A few months back I heard some place that toothpaste would take of scratches and I tried it and it didn't work, then the other day out of pure desperation I tried it my way. IT WORKED! So I decided this kind of news could not be kept secret, I have to tell the world! So I

New triple bunks.

Ben designed new bunk beds for the "girl's dorm" and "boy's dorm" in our house. We LOVE them!! We are almost done with all of the work, just a few loose ends left to tie up, but I couldn't wait to show off his handy-work. This is the girl set. We stained them with colored stain and we really like how that turned out. It's almost the color of cranberries. I still need to paint the boards that are attached to the wall. I'm going to paint them the color of the wall so that it looks like the beds are floating. :)  This is the boy set while still under construction. We ordered new bunk mattresses, but they haven't come in yet. I will show you guys pictures when they are completely finished. We stained these green, it looks like the color of bamboo. The kids LOVE these beds! And oh the space we have now! I'll be back soon with finished pictures! xo, Sam If any of you make beds using these plans could you send us a picture? We
