Excited!!!!!!!!!!!

I just got a call for a newborn baby girl born today . I get to pick her up from the hospital Monday but I can go up to the hospital and see her tomorrow and Sunday. I am so over joyed. I havent felt this excited since the placement of my dd. I have had other infant calls and not been this excited. Who knows maybe Gods way of telling me everything is going to be ok. Keep my family in your prayers. We will be needing them lol.

New babies are so exciting. Get ready for sleepless nights! I never minded getting up at night. It was always my quiet time to just gaze at the baby. Congrats!!! I hope things work out.

THERE ARE EIGHT DIFFERENT WAYS YOUR CHILD CAN DIE ON A CORDED WINDOW TREATMENT
Read "How Safe Cords Kill" at www.pfwbs.org

THREE CHILDREN HAVE STRANGLED TO DEATH SINCE ANGEL DIED ON 8/11/09.
Brandyn Coppedge died on 9/11/09. Rosie Smith died on 9/30/09 and Thapelo Kwofie died on 11/1/09. The Consumer Product Safety Commission is no longer recommending safety kits. They are now recommending that anywhere children live or visit should be free of corded window products.

Thanks all. I can't wait this weekend is going to go sooo slow. I am trying to prepare my dd right now. She don't really understand. We are going to take her to the hospital with us on our visits then again Monday when we pick her up. I have to get everything again lol. I just gave all of dd's baby things away to a needy family (figures I would get a call now lol) so I have to go buy all new things lol. Oh well it will be worth it lol.
