The Rest and the Story: November 2011
http://restandstory.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
The Rest and the Story. Finding grace, God, and growth in the midst of baby bed rest. Wednesday, November 23, 2011. I broke my own rule yesterday. Please don't judge me. I just couldn't wait any longer. I listened to Christmas music a whole 48 hours before Thanksgiving. And it was glorious! I felt as if Tyler and I have been celebrating Thanksgiving and Advent for months without the music. We'll need close to an hour to list it all. I've never been more thankful. The season of Advent is just around the c...

The Rest and the Story. Finding grace, God, and growth in the midst of baby bed rest. Tuesday, September 13, 2011. Cast away sitting in the middle of the church's fellowship hall with a sign saying "Free to a good home." Anyway, this beautifully free piece of furniture happens to magnify every speck of dust that comes within 6 inches of it, and it kills me every day that I can't get up and dust it. Why, you ask, would I need to have the TV console clean every day? Because people are coming to visit every.

The Rest and the Story. Finding grace, God, and growth in the midst of baby bed rest. Wednesday, September 7, 2011. 24 is a good number, don't you think? Today is a big celebration in the Harrell Delaney household! Woah Talk about serious words. I much preferred Doctor #1's approach. We just HAD to get to 24 weeks.and we did! So, today I celebrated with a visit to the outside world. Okay, so it was only the hospital/doctor's office. But at least now I know the world still exists beyond my driveway! It mi...

The Rest and the Story. Finding grace, God, and growth in the midst of baby bed rest. Wednesday, September 21, 2011. How are you doing? Is the question of the day.every day.

But, the question is, are these smooth seas here to stay, or are they just the eye of the hurricane? We don't know. We were still sent home with instructions to monitor for early labor contractions....

The Rest and the Story. Finding grace, God, and growth in the midst of baby bed rest. Monday, October 24, 2011. What oxygen is to the lungs, such is hope to the meaning of life. But if I must choose one theme to cover the ups and the downs, the chaos and the calm, it is this:. 21 weeks. 24 weeks. 28 weeks. We were at 21. We wanted to get to 28. But it seemed like the doctor was stuck at 24. Her voice said "if" but her eyes said "when.". She looked at me with an intense gaze, staring at me to be sure I un...
