Many thanks to many people

I first off wanted to say that through such an emotionally trying journey I have met some amazing people.  The lady who made Emery his gowns and many other things for us.  A lady on facebook who sent me such a sweet care package.  Plenty of amazing women to talk to. And yesterday I was blown away yet again by the lady from the funeral home.  I never called another funeral home besides this one.  When I first called she was so nice to me it didn't matter what anyone else had to say.  But she asked me to stop by yesterday and when I did I was shocked by her caring and her generosity.  She went and bought me the book "Heaven is for Real" and a Christmas card and ornament.  I read the entire book last night.  You know she can't possibly get so attached to everyone.  What a sweet person, she also asked if she could come to the hospital and told me she prays for me every day.  I am truly blessed by the people who have been brought into my life.


Also in an update about how things are coming along with delivery plans....I have my hospital bag halfway packed, all Emery's stuff is in it, now its just my clothes that need to get there.  Also his birth certificate is filled out (as much as it can be)  and I pray that I get to use it!!!  I have photographers lined up I just need to know a date because that will depend on which one.  I also have a friend who will be in the room with me when he is born so she can capture all the pictures of when we first see him and hold him, moments that can't be recaptured for a professional when they get to the hospital later.  I am so glad she will do it for me!!

When I got the idea to have a friend help with the pictures I heard this song I hadn't heard before.  It made me cry but it was such an amazing song, I thought I would share they lyrics....

I will carry you by Selah-
There were photographs I wanted to take
Things I wanted to show you
Sing sweet lullabies, wipe your teary eyes
Who could love you like this?
People say that I am brave but I'm not
Truth is I'm barely hanging on
but there's a greater story
Written long before me
Because He love you like this

So I will carry  you
While your heart beats here
Long beyond the empty cradle
Through the coming years
I will carry you
All my life
And I will praise the one who's chosen me
To carry you

Such a short time
Such a long road
All this madness
But I know
That the silence
Has brought me to His voice
and He says

I've shown her photographs of time beginning
Walked her through the parted seas
Angel lullabies no more teary eyes
Who could love her like this?

I will carry you
While your heart beat here
Long beyond the empty cradle
Through the coming years
I will carry you
All your life
And I will praise the one who's chosen me
To carry you
