Thank you. I love how generous you are when you write, giving your heart and humble spirit so freely. What a beautiful and precious experience, even more so because you recognize there's so much beyond the mortal perspective to glean from. I'm so glad that Heavenly Father sent you the help you needed and that you were aware enough to be willing to accept things as He prepared them for you and little Mette. Happy for your new addition and the spiritual education you get to receive because of it. Grateful too, that you took the time to share it with others, so that our eyes and hearts may be open to considering such divine concepts. Love you!Marzeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05087794525222366688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1319454352626199680.post-14514899176196916052015-08-20T14:26:06.595-06:002015-08-20T14:26:06.595-06:00Oh, oh.

You found such a lovely way to convey it all, and even knowing bits of the story already I was caught up in it. There are so many thoughts you've sparked, probably better contained in an email or phone conversation, and I'm sure those will come in time, but for now I just love you so much for living this and writing it. Sweet lucky Mette, drifting out of heaven into all this love! Talk to you soon. :) Marilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17085334272613025173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1319454352626199680.post-15248652384365562332015-08-20T10:24:39.420-06:002015-08-20T10:24:39.420-06:00I love you, Lizzie!

In any case, I love it. Thanks. <br /><br />I'm feeling pretty well actually. That first day -- when I was hooked to a picc line and epidural and catheter and leg compression things -- and had to ask people to even hand me my baby -- I felt pretty crazy like " How do people just casually talk about c sections? This is the worst thing ever!" But 24 hours made a night and day difference. And now, on my fourth day, I really don't feel terrible at all. Achey when I do anything involving my stomach muscles (pulling to sit or stand positions, laughing -- haha, etc.) And it's frustrating I'm not supposed to lift Summer, but I'm up and about and feeling mostly good.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03045958241240870948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1319454352626199680.post-87772184962393620382015-08-17T19:13:01.596-06:002015-08-17T19:13:01.596-06:00Thank you so much Linn.

I read it several times. it felt like comfort from the Lord that he just -- used someone else to say. <br /><br />On a less spiritual note. I had the chance to say, "Ohhh! So these are those crazy leg compression massaging things Linn was talking about!" Haha. When I read about your surgery, I never would have thought, "Yah, I'll be trying those puppies out myself in a few days."

And sing. So many questions you posed and pregnancy experiences you describe are within me as well, you just know how to jot it down. It's like reading my own thoughts. I love it and I love that someone else can relate. All of that aside, I have been eagerly awaiting your sweet Mette's birth story. She is so lovely, the pictures are treasures and how are you?

Part of that is because of what occurred ten days ago for me and how it feels strange and so foreign--and yet, what God wanted. And mostly, because I'm so proud of you. I know I have no right to that, being a long-distance friend and all, but Nancy, what you did, that was so hard and wondrous and difficult and incredible is just what the Lord asked you to do. I just can't imagine how proud He is of you and how grateful He is for your willingness and your heart and who you are as a mother. It just brought me to tears.<br /><br />Sweet Mette is gorgeous. So happy for you and her and all of those other wonderful people at your home.
