Not Me Monday

Good morning ladies! Can I say just how excited I am right?!?! WHY? 2 reasons actually...first being that one of my dearest friends is in labor right now getting ready to deliver Ms Gracen Rae! I can't wait to meet her!!! The next reason being Not Me Monday is BACK baby!!!! Finally Stellan is home & all is returning to "normal"! If you have no idea what I am talking about then jump over to MckMama's blog & get the details of this fantastic blog carnival! So without further ta do...

This weekend I did not get the chance to get dressed up with my husband for our churches yearly Graduation Banquet, honoring the seniors who are graduating! I do not get all excited about it & love wearing a fancy dress! Nope not me!

And at said banquet, I did not wear my black & white polka dotted flip flops with my black cocktail dress. I would never do something like that even though the lights were so low no one could see my shoes. Nope not me, I always suffer for fashion!

I did not finally figure out how to get MckMama's tweets on my phone & get so excited, feeling like I was getting a personal message from MckMama herself! I then did not have to change the settings for fear of going over my allowed text amount, because let me tell you MckMama likes to tweet!!!! Nope not me!

I am not shamelessly promoting my giveaway that you can enter here, until tomorrow when I will pick a winner from the 4 people who have entered so far! I wouldn't do something like this hoping that a few loyal MckMama readers who came over might decide to enter themselves! Nope not me!

And so ends another NMM! AHHHHH!!

It feels good to be back huh ladies?!?!

Stellan & the LeBlanc Triplets

All day I have been praying for Stellan & MckMama, ALL DAY! I would constantly check for a twitter or a new post & even when I was gone for a few hrs I called Sheila to check if anything new was out! I am still praying but also PRAISING the Ultimate Physician for what He has done! Thanking God that Stellan is out of surgery & doing good. Looks like a long road ahead & they aren't even sure what the road looks like at this point, but they are trusting Him!

Jer 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Thank you Lord for bringing Stellan through this & continue to keep your hand on him, as I know you will. Thank you for Stellan's future & knowing that you have a plan for him! Give him rest & give MckMama peace! Give the doctors guidance to know what to do next! Thank you Lord!!!!
-------------------------------

I also wanted to ask for your prayers for the LeBlanc triplets born just 45 hrs ago. I found their blog just a few days ago & so much has happened in just a few days! They were born at just 24 weeks & 5 days! They are holding their own for now but have very long roads ahead of them. The biggest weighing 1lbs 6oz, Mary Louise, followed by David Oliver weighing 14 oz & Kuylen Stafford weighing 10 oz. They posted a few pics of the babies & they are just so tiny! Please keep them in your prayers as well!

Ps 139:13 "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb."

Thank you Lord for these sweet babies! I pray for you to continue to help them fight! I pray you would be with their parents & give them comfort & peace that only you can give! Give them all strength for the fight ahead! Thank you that you know every breathe they take & every step they will take! Give the doctors guidance & understanding! Thank you Lord for your gift of Life, no matter how small!!

Update

You all thought I had fallen off the face of the earth didn't you! But nope I am still here! Between my Mom & Dad coming in & D-D's birthday party, it's been a busy week! And it's only Tuesday!!!! We had a great party for D-D & he got a ton of new toys! He had so much fun & after everything was cleaned up & put away he walked around the house asking "Where's my party?"! SO CUTE! I will have pics up later I promise! I can't believe my baby boy is 3! My how the time flies!

------------------------------------------------

I know most of you already know & have been praying for MckMama & Stellan but if you haven't jump over & read what is going on with them. Stellan is very sick & needs many, many prayers lifted up on his behalf!

------------------------------------------------

I go tomorrow morning for pre-op & find out what time to be there & all that fun stuff! After the appt my Mom is taking me for a pedicure so I am very excited about that! This will probably be my last post for the next few days! I will try to post Thursday morning about how surgery went & how I am doing then! I would appreciate all of your prayers, no matter how normal this surgery is, it still makes me nervous! I am totally trusting God & that we are doing the right thing! Thanks friends!

MckMama & Stellan

Stellan needs our prayers again ladies! He is in the hospital diagnosed with RSV, he is likely to be intubated soon! Please pray for MckMama & Stellan, for strength, healing, & peace! Be sure to check her out & give her support & love!

MckMama & Stellan

**UPDATE**
Thanks so much to everyone who has been praying for MckMama & Stellan! They are finally headed home & thankful that the doctors found "no relationship" between this incident & the previous problems! He has "just a cold"! Who would ever be thankful for that! Thanks again for your prayers & be sure to check out their amazing story!

Original Post:

Good morning ladies! I hope that everyone had a very blessed Christmas! I know I am so bad not having pics up yet but I promise they are coming! I wanted to write a quick post to ask everyone to be praying for Mckmama & Stellan. I think most of you already know about their story but if not then head over & see all the amazing work God has done in their lives! Last night they had to take Stellan to the ER with what they thought was a really bad cold but now it may be signs of his heart problem coming up. Please pray for them & for the doctors to know how to handle the situation! I will let you know when I have more info or just check in on them on her blog!

Praying for MckMama

******UPDATED!*******Baby Stellan is here! He seems to be doing just fantastic & so is Mom! Jump over & see for yourself the amazing power of our God! Ps 57:7-11 "My heart is steadfast O God, my heart is steadfast. I will sing and make music. I will praise you, O Lord, among the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples. For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth." Wanted to pass along a huge prayer request to you all! If you don't already know MckMama's blog then hop on over & check out their story! They are getting ready to meet little Stellan, who the doctors didn't expect to make it full term & don't really know what happenes next! He has an enlarged heart & will probably have to undergo surgery! And tomorrow morning at 9:30 is go time! Remember this precious family in your prayers, & for God to work a mighty miracle as only He can as the Ultimate Healer!

"Not me! Monday!"

It's that time again, for "Not me! Monday"! I never got around to doing one last week so this is my first in 2 whole weeks! If your not familiar with this then hop over to MckMama's blog & check out what all the fun is about it!--------------------------------------------Last week I did not have a really embarrassing thing happen to me in the school line to pick up S-man that I have been saving all week to tell you about!! I would never hold out just for "Not me! Monday", I am not that addicted to it! So here goes...-------------------------------------------------------I was not sitting in the car-line, chatting (okay...gossiping!)with a friend from church for almost 45 minutes! I would never, ever do that, I am far too mature for gossip!! I was not sitting there with the car turned off & the windows down because it was so nice outside, (& to save gas)!! I then did not get back in the car with S-man & try to crank my car! And of course it cranked right up, right...nope wouldn't crank! I did not sit there pleading/bargaining with God, telling Him I was so sorry I gossiped & I would never, ever do it again if only He would have my car start up! One more try...Nope didn't work! I then did not have to wait for everyone to go around me & have to have my car pushed out of the way! I did not have to wait for my father-in-law to get there & jump off the battery! I also did not choose this day of ALL days to pick up S-man wearing no make up, & this was not the only thing I could think off, not my car but of all these people seeing me with no make-up! Nope not me, I am absolutely not that vain!! I always go out looking my best, never like I haven't showered in more than 24 hrs!!! Nope NOT ME!!!---------------------------------------------------I did not go to one of my favorite blogs, City Mom, Country Mom, to see what their Not Me! Monday posting was, only to LOVE their new background! I did not go to the website they got it from & hunt until I found it! I then did not copy their background, & wish that my GD (graphic designer) hubby would make me a cute header like theirs! I would never do that, mine was fine the way it was, so why change it? Nope I would not do such a silly thing!! ----------------------------------------------------Well there you go, another Monday almost over! Hope you enjoyed my stories & even had a good laugh! I am most definitely not hoping for comments, especially one from MckMama herself! I wouldn't, I mean who get's excited over those kinds of things? Have a great week & Happy Fall!!

Not me Monday

It's that time again, my favorite day, "Not Me" Monday. If your not sure what I am talking about then you can check my first Not Me blog or check out MckMama for more info!

So ready or not here we go...

------------------------
I did not make a special trip to Target just to look for the beaded necklace that MckMama talked about last week! And I was not totally disappointed when they didn't have it!
------------------------
I did not go on the aforementioned Target trip after a girls night out dinner hoping that by the time I got home the kids were bathed & ready for bed!
------------------------
I did not put D-D in bed with me & we both sleep until 10:30 this morning! I would never do that, there is far to much for me to be doing than sleeping! Nope I jumped out of bed this morning & couldn't wait to start the day!

------------------------

So there's my "Not Me" Monday! Join in & play! And definitely keep Baby Stellan & MckMama in your prayers, she only has 1 month left before he will make his big debut!!

Not Me Monday

So this is from a blog I have been reading for a few months, it should be fun!!! Follow along with me & please feel free to join in the fun too!!! And definitely check out MckMamas blog & pray for Stellan!!!!

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Friday night I did not go into my kids room blindly feeling in the dark to see if my 2 year old had thrown up, nope no way, not me!!! That would just be gross!!!!!

-----------------------------------------------

I did not go sit in the car line to pick up my son from school an hour early just so I could have some quiet to finish reading my book!! Who would be that selfish? Not me!!

-----------------------------------------------

This week I did not eat a whole bag of Cheetos Puffs all by myself for lunch everyday! Nope I would never, ever do something like that!

-----------------------------------------------

I also did not think about things all week, wondering if it was good enough to blog about! Why would I ever do that? No I wouldn't...I didn't I tell you!!!

-----------------------------------------------

I absolutely did not check the computer every 5 minutes this past week to see if my husband was online! Just because he was in Romania & we only talked once a day, I absolutely didn't plan my whole day around it! Nope, not a chance because that would be so pathetic!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------

So that's my "Not Me Monday"! Join in & have a great week!!!!
