Wheww-- peaches anyone??

This is what the end of today looks like--  39 (I think) Quarts of PEACHES!!

Hubby really score the BIG DEALS!!  He was able to get us 12  1/2 pecks  (1 1/2 bushel) of peaches for a great deal!  So all but a 1/2 peck have been turned into this:

That and stripping my diapes (first time at this) are my BIG accomplishments.......  I am definitly waddling tonight!!  But I must insert here that the phone rang 100x today and I even had a dear friend stop by for about 20 minutes and through out all those interuptions my dearest husband sat and tirelessly pealed and sliced peaches or I would've been still working at it!!
Now that I am feeling comfortable with the canner-- I wonder why I haven't done this for 7 years-- Yes it was excactly  9/11/01 the last time I canned peaches!!  Zachary was only 7 months old--- can't believe it has been that long!!
My dear friend was so kind to take all the yellow squash off my hands and even a few cherry tomatoes-- so that is a nice feeling-- 
I need to really slow down a bit and tie some heart strings this weekend with the boys-- we had a small incident-- tonight-- no harm but it was a RED FLAG that they need some heart strings tied!!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Also-- hubby asked that I not share all the details here-- (or anywhere) he is like that with things like this-- just one of his "quirks"  (and I can say that because I tell him that all the time) but If you think of it-- would you please say a prayer for this baby and I for the next 4 (ish) weeks....
I did have that ultra sound and OB appt yesterday-- and the OB appt went well-- measuring big (knew that) heart rate , bp, all that jazz--looks GREAT....

There are some question about the last 2 ultrasounds-- but Jason asked that I not dwell on this "issue" (because this is our 5th ultra sound-- and about 3 months ago they thought they saw something else--turned out to be nothing--it's gone-- but the last 2 ultrasounds have shown an  issue...)   and I really am at peace-- I know God has a plan for this baby--- and he will strengthen us to meet any needs that may arrise.... but I do pray and request prayers for continued HEALTHY development during these last few weeks/days.....

(**PS : If my dearest sister-in-law or brother in law still read this-- please shhhhhhh.... we are not telling many-- as it is Jason's request at this time-- to not upset people who may not need to be upset-- because it could be nothing--- Thanks!!)

Oh and the baby's head is measuring  40wks 3 days...and the baby itself is measuring 38 wks 4 days  (I'm JUST 35 weeks).... Sooooo  I know in a few weeks they'll also be questioning-- INDUCTION---   The estimated weight  as of yesterday was 7lbs 9oz.....  Alrighty then---!!  We just need wisdom and pray for God's guidance in these decisions!!


Well-  I'm ready to go to bed-- so I hope each of you have a great weekend!!

Aug. 24, 2008 - Hi!

I'll be praying for you and the baby. This sounds like something that happened to me with my 6 year old. A sonogram told us that he was missing part of his stomach and a kidney. We worried so much and then had another sonogram- which told us that everything looked good. He's great- no problems. God will take care of everything, just the way He plans for it to be! Well, I'm off to church. Just dropped by while having some coffee. Blessings! You'll be in my prayers. Kelly

Hi, Denise!

I just wanted to confirm with you that I am praying for you, your baby, your husband and the boys as your precious bundle's arrival gets closer. I will be praying specifically for healthy growth and for God's plan to prevail. I hope you are getting some good sleep after all that work...I'm still up aftern doing 8 quarts of peaches (freezing them) and now 14 quarts of green beans. *sigh* tomorrow is going to be very long...

Love & Prayers,
Heather Anne
