My 4 month old son was napping in my arms as I cried and cried watching and reading about your son. You have increased my thankfulness for him. Mac truly still does good works for Our Father. I am holding my baby boy ever closer to me because your story has touched my heart. Thank you.<br /><br />Congratulations and blessings on your pregnancy!<br /><br />-AllisonAllisonhttp://omyfamilyblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020598965252209043.post-48934539939724930042009-11-24T12:49:46.823-08:002009-11-24T12:49:46.823-08:00Hi Cali, I hope you get this message.

The theme is "With Me Still".

I am sure you are noticing the differences between Mac and Oakland just like any other Mom would. You have been a mother for 1 year, 4 months, 2 weeks and 6 days!! You know your children. Try and rest as much as you can. I am sure this is the scariest point of pregnancy for you. We all love you and wish the best for you.<br /><br />MeredithMeredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10044438214509888263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020598965252209043.post-65795899809422101622009-11-15T08:40:01.461-08:002009-11-15T08:40:01.461-08:00OMGosh.

I can't wait to see Oakland...and can I tell you how much I love that name.(as if I have say in it) : ) Girls are very different than boys. I am sure you have noticed the personality differences between Mac and Oakland. I am sure she has her Big brother already watching over her and comforting her through contractions and will be right there with her as she makes her way here.Rob and Susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17597887513404433755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020598965252209043.post-24681944061876535382009-11-14T22:09:30.166-08:002009-11-14T22:09:30.166-08:00Hi...I found your blog through Michelles.

I was hooked up to monitors while having them and they said that the babies were fine and that they would not harm or hurt them in anyway. So I hope that this gives you a little more comfort and I totally hear you on being exhausted at the end of the day. I took so many naps during that time. What I thought would be 30 minute cat nap would be a 3 or 4 hour nap. Good luck with your final weeks and I hope the contractions ease up some.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09345376059896603172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020598965252209043.post-45376186202245121652009-11-14T05:45:01.735-08:002009-11-14T05:45:01.735-08:00rest assured- it is very "normal" to fee...rest assured- it is very "normal" to feel like- during a contraction she is pushing back or trying to stretch out. these contractions are happing naturally vs using synthetic hormones so it will definitely feel different.<br /><br />try not to stress. now is the time to practice all those breathing techniques so that when 'real' labor happens you've practiced! :) :) <br /><br />i'm thinking and praying for your family and can't wait to see it become an adorable family of 4! :) hang in there.Holly Steffenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05425518881230704706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020598965252209043.post-56044649452706631472009-11-13T18:00:41.236-08:002009-11-13T18:00:41.236-08:00I wish I could say, I didn't have any contract...I wish I could say, I didn't have any contractions with my little girl. Due to medical issues, went straight to the c-section. I am hoping and praying for a quick and safe delivery!! (and of course a healthy little Oakland and Mommy!!)<br />Good Luck!
