Well its been a very long week as you can tell by all the posts. We made it through everything last week and without the baby coming early! Which was good. I have to say it had to be the most difficult week of my life - but I wanted to thank (and I know this comes from the all 4 of us) all the family and friends for EVERYTHING that you did! IT means so much to us all. Especially the family and even friends that drove from all over to be there with us in our time of grief. It is just amazing to know how great our everyone is. And I'm glad everyone is also making it home safely as well!
I know dad and I were talking today - and we felt bad we may not have talked to everyone that came to the visitations and funeral - please accept our apologizes. We were busy trying to talk to everyone and with me- I had everyone trying to keep me seated. Which it did help! Probably one reason the baby still isn't here yet (yes - that is good).
The funeral and everything were beautiful - Craig, Marcus and Kathy's speaches were so amazing they captured mom perfectly. I know we can all add stories and comments on the wonderful person she was - it reminds me I want to be more like her every day. And I am so thankful she was my mom and I have her as my example to raise my child in this world! She was amazing and always will be - we need to remember she's still with us and will be living through this baby in the near future again.
Thank you all for everything- the love and kindness were amazing by just everyone around. I know dad is still surprised by everything people have and are still doing. And if you want to help - just keep an eye on him for me! (yes dad - I know you will read this too - I'll have my spys out in Howell watching out for you - just because I love you so much! I'm not planning on doing this again for a minimum of 20 years).
For many people - Craig and I will keep this website updated for a while longer on baby updates. I know his earlier post noted the next appointment is this Wednesday morning - we'll go from there on the progress of baby B. I know I've been having more practice contractions over the last few days- but know its not the "real" thing just yet.
Thanks again for everyone - we'll never be able to put into words what it means to the family.
