Still waiting.........

She just left for her procedure.. There was an emergency in ICU that took precedent. She is still wrestling w/ nausea and vomiting, but is staying strong!


While we were waiting we were talking about something that I don't think I've posted on the blog and would remind you of Robynn's fabulous sense of humor. When her tummy started to swell it wasn't too alarming, but eventually it grew tremendous in size. We joked about looking like she was ready to give birth and so we figured it was only fitting to give this "evil baby" a name. When I asked if it should be a girl or a boy, she immediately responded with,
"only a man could cause this kind of pain"! I then blurted out "Norm"! "Norm it is" Robynn replied. So we ask "Norm" to be nice to his Momma and"come out and see Auntie". We are constantly reprimanding Norm for causing his Momma so much pain!
Even faced with this miserable experience, she chooses laughter over desperation!
That's our girl!!!

When she returns I will be happy to announce the birth of Norm and an update on his courageous Momma!

Pray on!
XOXO,
S

I kind of feel that we back here in Bako are missing a party! And for the record, I think Norm is an ugly baby...He must have gotten his looks from his daddy :) Those Goodell people :) We are praying, praying praying and will continue to do so! Stay Strong and as Callahan said...SMILE! We all love you guys so much and just wish we could be there to squeeze the heck out of you all!
So much love!

Robynn and Family,

Just a note to let you know that your OLG (Our Lady of Grace) family is praying for you and also watching over Brady. I see his smiling face everyday at school and he makes me smile. When you get home, please let us know what we can do to help. Keep up the faith and know that God is watching over you and your family.

God Bless you,
