I wish I had a picture for right now, because there just aren't words . . .
Ethan just called me to tell me our pipes froze and our kitchen and laundry room are flooded. Sigh. He and his brother, who is luckily there right now, are trying to soak it all up with our towels, but I'm not sure they can use the washer until they fix the problem. I'm hoping we don't run out of towels!
Moving along to more positive news. This morning my dr. visited me like usual and had some troubling things to share with me. Without going into all the details, I'll just say that I was feeling a little bit anxious when she left. A while later the nurse came in to do the usual assessment. One part of the assessment involves monitering the baby's heart rate for 20 to 30 minutes. So she got me hooked up and left the room, only to come back a few moments later because the machine was sounding some kind of alarm. The baby's heart rate was in the high 160's and that's higher than they usually see. For my little girl personally she runs in the 140's usually. So I asked the nurse what could cause her heart rate to be up and she said, "Well, if you were running a fever, which you're not, or if you're anxious about something . . ." Of course I knew right away that it was anxiety and I talked to her about what was going on. She offered to pray with me, and after she prayed for just a couple of minutes and said "Amen", I glanced over at the moniter and saw that our baby girl's heart rate had come back down to normal! It was kind of neat to see and feel God's presence right there at that very moment. I love my Great Physician. :)

Oh Kimberly. I'm so glad you had a nurse to pray with you. I need to come visit you soon. When is a good time when you have the least amount of people up there?
Yuck, yuck, and more yuck! I feel you on the house stuff. And I'm glad the baby isn't in any more stress.
You and your little one are being watched over. It's good how you're writing down all these "tender mercies" Heavenly Father's giving you. It's a great way to see His hand through trials and hard times. Sometimes it's easy to think we're alone, but when we recognize what He's doing and has been doing all along, we can know for a surety He's always there, waiting to bless and help us!
