January 11th

Well today I had an ultrasound at St. Joseph's Hospital & some blood work done. Julie Shepherd came to see the ultrasound. We had a great time together! I am so grateful to have her as my neighbor and friend...they have blessed our life so much this Christmas season by feeding our family dinner each night for the whole month! We are forever in debt to them! I was hoping to leave the appointment knowing when I was going to have this big 7 lb. 12 oz. baby Paige but I didn't. However I did get a call later this afternoon letting us know we are now scheduled for January 11th at 8:00 am for C-section! WHAT?????? I thought my due date was January 12th but they have it as January 16th. Oh my gosh I thought I was going to die when I heard that over the phone! I'm afraid I am going to have an 11 lb. baby! So the countdown begins today...

"Parents who have surrendered the sweetest and smallest flowers from the family's garden need to remember our Heavenly Father. He has promised a special reward to those who now suffer in silence, who spend long days and longer nights through their trying times of bereavement. Our Creator has promised glory. He said, "For after much tribulation come the blessings. Wherefore the day cometh that ye shall be crowned with much glory; the hour is not yet, but nigh at hand." (D&C 58:4) That promised glory includes the blessing of reunion with each child who has left the family circle to help surviving members of the family to draw nearer to God. Those children still live and are a heritage to the Lord."
Russell M. Nelson

President John Taylor once said: "that the best explanation he could offer why so many little children among the Saints were called away, notwithstanding the great faith and power of the priesthood exercised to keep them here, was that they were bright and noble spirits who held important positions in the kingdom of God in the spirit world, from which they could not long be spared., They were given brief furloughs, long enough to come to earth, take upon themselves bodies of flesh and bone that they might be prepared for a resurrection to a kingdom of glory; and after a short experience in mortality were called back to resume important labors in a higher sphere."

Joseph F. Smith said:"Joseph Smith taught the doctrine that the infant child that was laid away in death would come up in the resurrection as a child; and pointing to the mother of a lifeless child, he said to her: ' You will have the joy, the pleasure, and satisfaction of nurturing this child, after its resurrection, until it reaches the full stature of its spirit.' There is restitution, there is growth, there is development, after the resurrection from death. I love this truth. It speaks volume of happiness, of joy and gratitude to my soul. Thank the Lord he has revealed these principles to us."
