How good is the Lord to return us to a ...Hi, mama. How good is the Lord to return us to a familiar place. A long time ago I found your blog and it brought me so much peace about homeschooling. Something about you really connected with me. I then got busy running my cloth diaper blog and stopped reading other blogs. Tonight as I was reading a blog (something I picked back up 3 days ago) I saw a link to your blog. What an awesome blessing that you are expecting! We are expecting #4 in about 5 weeks. I plan on diving back into your blog to catch up a bit! I don't know if you are going to use cloth diapers, but if you are and have questions let me know.<BR/><BR/>God Bless,<BR/>Autumn BeckAutumnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18190655485915997494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13517164.post-32135312804570163932009-01-27T23:25:00.000-06:002009-01-27T23:25:00.000-06:00I've nominated you for the Kreativ Blogger Award. ...I've nominated you for the Kreativ Blogger Award.

You might give a list to someone else of the pictures you want to make sure to catch.<BR/><BR/>1. The Family with the brand new baby -- we have my husband with the baby and me with the baby, but no good picture of the three of us together, smiling at the camera. (the closest we get shows too much skin to be modest. And it was a caught-on-the run picture so is not what I wanted)<BR/><BR/>2. Baby in his going home outfit.<BR/><BR/>3. THe Baby's first trip in the car picture. We got the baby in the car seat, but not installed in the car and I miss that, not.<BR/><BR/>There are no new must-have items. Babies, as always, need only somewhere to sleep, something to wear, something to sleep, and somewhere to poop. But there are many things that are VERY useful to have to make things easier.<BR/><BR/>One for taking to the hospital: Lanolin for your breasts. Safe for the kid to drink off of and it works beautifully!MommyLydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15608956553350425075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13517164.post-57701053081282358932009-01-27T09:24:00.000-06:002009-01-27T09:24:00.000-06:00I am going to second Amanda's entire comment :) E...I am going to second Amanda's entire comment :) Every single item on her list. <BR/>And something to do before you go to the hospital--take a profile picture. B/c you are positively glowing and lovely, even if you don't think so. :)<BR/>I can't think of anything super special that would be any more important than 10 years ago. Babies and their needs don't really change. Do you have a Boppy pillow??? I have two if you need one. They are the awesomest invention ever.SaraMinervahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06205631470256339520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13517164.post-69679710115096401052009-01-27T09:03:00.000-06:002009-01-27T09:03:00.000-06:00Hey Heather,Just breathe and pray.

Three and a half years later, I can look back and see how God took care of everything. It's not always easy, but God always does His part. Just try not to get caught up in worrying. It doesn't help. I know. <BR/>Many Blessings,<BR/>PennyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13517164.post-64994394249336259772009-01-26T19:46:00.000-06:002009-01-26T19:46:00.000-06:00Well, my baby days are long gone.
