    Praise God! Slade and I were praying for you all at 7 a.m. and have throughout the day. We will continue to pray for recovery from the surgery and for the transition for the whole family.

    Julie, thank you so much for your prayers they are appreciated.

    As things were getting ready to start I was so nervous and as I prayed I remembered all of the people who were praying for me and God’s peace just washed over me.

    The c-section itself was a WONDERFUL experience.

    Thank you and the rest of your family for the prayers. Just before things began (and I was really, really nervous) I reminded myself of all those who were praying for me and that gave me so much comfort.

    Isabella’s birth was an amazing gift.

    Congratulations! She is beautiful. I pray for a speedy recovery for mom. I have had 3 c-sections (I will have another one in December). My best recoveries were the 2 that I got up as soon as possible and got off of IV pain med and onto something like Percocet.

    Thanks Judy. That’s exactly what I did and the recovery has been amazing!!

    This is the first of our babies that this OB has delivered. He thinks that I’m an easy patient, hope he continues to think that.

    We were so excited to see a picture of your new bundle! Congratulations!! She definitely looks like some of the others (Amber and Sadie). My stats prediction was only off by 1 ounce and 1 inch! I’m pretty amazed about that. We’re praying for a smooth recovery for you, Kimberly!

    Kimberly @ Raising Olives Reply:

    Thank you Susan.

    I should give you a prize for getting closest on the stats guess. How about an invitation to Bella’s baptism that you won’t be able to accept because Steve will be preaching?

    Thanks for your prayers.
