BABIES!

Michelle and big sister Savannah

I have two very good friends who could have a baby any day now. Both of these little ones could even be born today! My friend Michelle is having a little girl named Bailey. She lives here at camp with her family, so she's close by. My other friend Melisa is having a little boy named Brennan. She lives in Orange County, a 6 hour drive from here. I would love to be able to see both of these babies when they're born. I don't know how I'm going to make it in time for Brennan's birth, but I really want to try. We have winter camp this weekend, so there's no way I can get out to California from Friday through Sunday morning. I could leave Sunday after the morning session and probably stay for several days, I just don't know that Brennan wants to wait for his aunt RayRay to get there!

Melisa and big sister Braelyn

I was talking to Michelle last night about contractions and birthing balls and whatnot, and last night I was laying in bed just thinking about babies! I thought about all the feelings Michelle and Melisa are probably feeling right now, about the excitement and fear of child birth, the questions that go through your mind...I remembered the moment they brought Harper back to me after giving her a bath. She was wearing her little pink and white striped hat that the hospital gave her. When they handed her to me, Chris took the hat off and all this fluffy red hair just popped out standing on end! It was beautiful. Many of our camp friends were in the room with us and we all gasped when we saw it. It is such an exciting time. I am praying for these two brave women and hoping that everything goes smoothly and that they and their babies stay safe and healthy.
