It's a Baby, Not a Choice!

This is a bulletin that I actually just posted, but I didn't want it to just go away. So I'm posting it here in my blog, so it can always be seen and read. If it changes just one young lady's mind, then it's worth it weight in gold.

In September 1993, Brenda Pratt Shafer, a registered nurse with thirteen years of experience, was assigned by her nursing agency to an abortion clinic. Since Nurse Shafer considered herself "very pro-choice," she didn't think this assignment would be a problem. She was wrong. This is what Nurse Shafer saw:

"I stood at the doctor's side and watched him perform a partial-birth abortion on a woman who was six months pregnant. The baby's heartbeat was clearly visible on the ultrasound screen. The doctor delivered the baby's body and arms, everything but his little head. The baby's body was moving. His little fingers were clasping together. He was kicking his feet. The doctor took a pair of scissors and inserted them into the back of the baby's head, and the baby's arms jerked out in a flinch, a startle reaction, like a baby does when he thinks that he might fall. Then the doctor opened the scissors up. Then he stuck the high-powered suction tube into the hole and sucked the baby's brains out. Now the baby was completely limp. I never went back to the clinic. But I am still haunted by the face of that little boy. It was the most perfect, angelic face I have ever seen."

But what about if the baby had been aborted at a younger age.. say 6 weeks? When the baby is this young, doctors use the Saline Method, where they inject a salty saline solution into the mother's womb. You would think it would just poison the baby, but it actually burns it to death. Even though the baby is so young, on ultrasounds of the abortion, the fetus is seen pulling away from the poison as it is injected.. obviously wanting to stay alive. (The baby is intelligent enough to move away from the pain..but the child can't escape it)

Think about that before you say that unborn children can't feel pain.
PASS THIS ON IF YOU BELIEVE ABORTION IS WRONG.
Life is life, no matter how small.A baby cries for it's first and last time when it's abortedYou can deny but its true.
A baby is a living thing. thats like killing one of your friends!!!
ITS A BABY, NOT A CHOICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:

Oh, and just for those of you that want to comment and tell me I don't know what I'm talking about: I've been there. I've laid on the table while an abortion is performed. Trust me ~ it's the one and only thing in my whole entire life that I regret, the one and only thing I wish I could take back. I've also experienced the heart wrenching pain of losing a child after they're born, after I've held her in my arms for 33 days. EVERY child deserves a fighting chance, EVERY SINGLE ONE!!

Levels Quadrupled!!

Well, Dr. T called and my preggo hormones have quadrupled since Tuesday!! As long as they doubled then we were doing good. James says they've quadrupled because we're having twins. I think he's lost his ever-lovin' mind!! Can you even imagine me with twins?? No! Of course not! I would like get them mixed up or something!! Way to crazy. I'm scatterbrained enough as it is. I mean, don't get me wrong. I would love to be blessed by twins, but no. But seriously, that's not even the point at this moment. I am sooooo excited to finally be pregnant! I mean I'm trying not to freak out. I have to admit, I'm a little scared. The statistics are that this baby will be fine, but I just wish there was a way to know for sure. I do know that no matter what happens it will be God's will and even though I may not like what that is at the time, I do know it's the absolute best. So I'm going to bed tonight with an elated peace of mind. I'm elated that we're pregnant and I have the peace of mind that God has control over not only this pregnancy, but of my life, my husband, my son, my daughter and my future children. He will do what's best and I am grateful to just be a part of His majestic plan.

Oh Baby!!

Well, I finally got the call from my OB's office this afternoon to positively confirm our pregnancy!! The due date is Aug 3rd. Now I'm really starting to freak out a little.

Banana Pudding & Oak Cabinets Yumm-O

Today was the BEST day!! My Momma's banana pudding pushed me way past stuffed but it was soooo worth it! It was so nice to just hang out with my family ~ seeing Lissa getting bigger is sooo cute, watching the boys playing is just joyous, watching my Momma cook priceless (every now and then she'll let one of us do something). The whole day was just so peaceful, no fighting, no bickering. Just exactly what the holidays are supposed to be like. I wish Steph could've stayed longer, but some girl quit at her work and she had to cover. At least she was there for a little bit and the boys go to stay. I wish James would've been there, but when I got home he did have 1/2 the bottom cabinets done. How cool is that!! You can check out the pictures under Kitchen. Anyways, to say the least I am THRILLED!!! I just can't wait till he hooks the dishwasher up! Doing dishes in the bathtub SUCKS!!

Thanksgiving

Man I cannot wait until tomorrow!! My Mom started having Thanksgiving on the following Sunday a couple yrs ago to help me keep the peace (long story). Anyways, I actually really enjoy it. It gives me something to really look forward too. I'm really missing my Momma and Sissies!!! Also knowing Momma's cooking will be there, well that just makes it ALL worth it. Noone can cook like my Momma. I know everyone feels that way. You just can't beat your Momma's cooking. It's what you know. It makes you feel like a kid again. Anyways, I'm gonna try to sleep now, so I can get up and drive straight to Bartlesville first thing!
