Time limits

Tonight I type from a hospital bed. The good news is that my daughter is still warm, cozy, and active in my tummy. The bad news is that my water broke on Friday, which at 33 weeks and 5 days was too soon.

and a delivery for Ms. Olivia Kate. I'm contracting pretty regularly but the real issue is keeping her infection free. With the broken water, she is exposed to all sort of bacteria that can make her sick or kill her. I'm on enough antibiotics to treat an elephant .

The children are at our house with Nana and Pawpaw. Luke is having fun, Nicholas misses us like crazy. We see them every day and skype every night. I miss them desperately. I want nothing more than to be home with my boys, thinking I had another month to get this planned out. Now when return, I'll not be pregnant and our family will be one bigger. Crazy.

Right now we are just really praying that the children are happy and okay. We are praying that Olivia and I stay healthy and she is given the tie she needs to grow and develop safely. It's been a long weekend and a long week coming. Culminating in a c-section for me and a possibly stay in the NICU for Olivia Kate.

In the midst of all this, we found out today that a casual friend of ours passed away today. She was kicked in the head by a horse and died this morning. It is just a very sad scenario.

In light of all of this going on this weekend I am reminded that time is a limited commodity. Kiss your husband good bye every day; don't let your children miss out on your hugs, kisses, and attention. Embrace every moment, choose happiness. You never know when something beautiful in your life will be over.
