It seems Nicki will have to stay on bed rest for a while. She is 1 centimeter from going into contractions. They will not put her in the hopsital until they begin, (but where are we then?)

My Mom and Dad are leaving in the morning, and they have been a God send, but they are needed back in Alabama and I understand. Family hardships are there and my Aunt and Uncle are needing them also.

At this point I just want to shoot my son-in-law for thinking this is all my daughters fault because she is not able to carry a baby. I want to march in there and just #@%!$mailto:m%@$! ^%^!%%@#. I can't really say, because it could become insinuating, you know?

If anyone is reading this, please say a prayer she will be able to carry this baby and deliver a healthy little girl. Did I mention that? She found out yesterday the baby is a girl. They want to name her Destiny. What a beautiful name. She is destined to be here.

I know I have posted today, but I need to vent a little and let a little cry and sigh come out. My daughter - who is expecting my second grandchild has receieved yet another day of bad news.

Her placentia is still to low for them to place the sling inside her cervix. The cervix is beginning to thin and we are right back to where we started a year ago with Lillie, (my grandaughter who only lived 1 hr 40 mintues). I just left her side and she is devasted.

What do you do? You hold them, tell them it will be fine, it's in God's hands, but; to watch your daughter suffer is heartening.

I sit here and wish I could take all this pain away from her, make it right and make all the bad go away.

You drive back to the office and you see mothers mistreating their children, hear on the news parents leaving their child in the car, and your thoughts, "All my daughter wants is one child, one child to love, care far and make that child her own."

She will see another specialist on Thursday and we go from there. With God's blessing and God's will, we will make it through this because, "What does not kill us, makes us stronger" or so they say.

Great weekend, horrible Monday!!!! Have you ever had those Monday's? Sure you have, we all have them, I just seem to have them every Monday.

But this past Monday was awful, it all started on Sunday night. You lay down, thinking of the things you have to do on Monday, then you fall asleep, right? Wrong!!! You wake up in the middle of the night with cramps, stomach churning and then the frequent steps to the bath room. By 5:30 AM on Monday, I need to be up to get ready for work, Wrong again!!!!! I lay down for a few minutes to rest my eyes and stomach right? Wrong..... I look at the clock again and its 7:40 AM. Where did the minutes turn to hours? Call work (or did you dreamed you called in?) That was were I was -- I called in twice because I thought I dreamed I called in the first time.

The rest of the day is a blur. Finally I found myself up at 6:30 PM. Thinking, "There is no way I can sleep tonight." Wrong!!! I slept all night and still had a rough time today getting up.

So here are to Monday's on Tuesday's..... I am here and I made it; how, I have no idea how...

I visited several Blog's and found you all had a wonderful weekend and so far a great Monday.... Great to all of you and hopefully your week will go as wonderful.
