You are all in our daily prays and thoughts! I hope for many moments of joy will come your way during this unsure time. Ellie is going to be just beauitful as her brother! To do list are the best! I do the same thing. I thinking your missing a pedicure before you leave town on your list : ) Again we along with our church are praying for you all and for the doctors to know how to best treat your sweet Ellie Grace.
praying for you! and YES - totally put things on the list already accomplised just for the satisfaction... Scott does not share the same passion for lists! Can't wait to hear of Ellie's arrival!
