Is it just me, or do babies have the most precious feet???????? Just look at those chubby, tiny toes!! Normally, I HATE feet... but not when it comes to baby feet :-) I mean, really...just LOOK!!

The adorable little feet in the picture belong to my sweet little nephew, Baby James. He is a "Nanny's Baby!!!" I am Nanny, by the way :-) When he is with me, which is often, I take his socks off and play with and yes, kiss, his sweet little feet!! Call me crazy, but that's just the way I roll, LOL!!

Update on Lauren ...

Good news!!!

After a week in the hospital, my sister (Lauren) was released from the hospital on Saturday afternoon!! She really had a tough time of it, but she seems to be much happier since she is back home. The doctors released her from the hospital, but she still has an IV for antibiotics and also has a home health nurse coming to her house daily to change the dressing and stuff on her incision and the place on her incision that opened up some due to the staph infection.

She has really been a trooper through this entire ordeal and I couldn't be prouder of her. We have prayed a lot for her and with her. While she has had her hard moments, God's grace and love is evident and has gotten her through this like only He can!!

I'm gonna try and sweet talk her today and beg her to let me post a picture of our sweet little boy, Baby James. She is a little nervous about having his picture posted on the internet, which is understandable. Anyway, Baby James is absolutely amazing. Not only is he precious, he is such a good baby. The entire time they were in the hospital, he was able to stay with his Mommy and he was SO GOOD!! He really didn't cry much and slept most of the time. He slept through the lights, the noise, the nurses coming in and out constantly... you name it, he slept throug it!! What a huge blessing he is :-) Can you tell I'm a proud Nanny???!?!! hehe

Please contine to keep Lauren in your prayers as she is still healing and has a little way to go yet... but she is getting there!!

Complications ... Prayer Request

I've been putting off blogging about this because it just breaks my heart, but here goes ...

My sister, Lauren, has been back in the hospital since Saturday night.

As you may know from previous posts, she had a baby boy on May 27th. She and Baby James were released from the hospital on Friday around lunchtime. Everything seemed to be going fine... she was feeling ok and happy to be home with the baby. Then Friday night she started running a fever. They were told to go back to the Assessment Center at the hospital on Saturday morning. She saw the doctor on call and was told that her incision from her c-section was getting infected. They gave her a prescription for antibiotics and sent her back home. Well, by Saturday night ... her fever was even higher! They called the doctor who told them to go back to the hospital so that she could be re-admitted. Thankfully, they are allowing the baby to "room-in" with her so that she isn't separated from her beautiful baby.

Anyway, today is Wednesday and she is still there. Apparently it's one of those things that has to get worse before it gets better. They doctors have been able to do a culture from some of the icky stuff and are waiting for the results to be final. Based on the preliminary results, it appears to be a bad Staph Infection of some sort. So, for now she is on several different medicines and is doing the best she can,

She is in the hands of a very, very capable doctor. The nurses at the hospital have been wonderful! Right now though, she can't get in and out of the bed too much and when she does, it's pretty painful for her. Plus, Baby James hasn't been re-admitted as a patient so the hospital staff isn't responsible for his care. For now, we are all taking turns staying with her at the hospital to help take care of Baby James and help Lauren with whatever she may need.

Please pray for her. Pray for healing of her physical body and for her to feel God's presence in a very real, strong way. This of course isn't what she envisioned for herself and/or her family. But, our God knows what is going on and He can and will take care of her. We trust in that completely.

HE'S FINALLY HERE!!!!!!!!!!

My newest nephew was born yesterday!!! He was scheduled to be born today, but apparently he had other plans :-) He is quite honestly one of the most beautiful babies I have ever seen!! He weighed 7lbs 9.6ozs! We call him "Baby James." I am so in love with him, it's crazy! Hopefully, I'll get the ok within the next week or so to post a picture of him!!

Both Baby James and his mommy, Lauren, are doing well. Not sure just yet when they will be heading home... hospitals/doctors send people home entirely too fast these days if you ask me.

Thank you God for this newest little blessing You have provided to my sister and brother-in-law...and to all the rest of our family. Thank You for a safe delivery and for a beautiful, HEALTHY little boy! We are so incredibly blessed :-)
