No need to worry about your abilities-you are a very smart girl!<BR/><BR/>I try to keep up with your blogs but don't have an opportunity as much as I like. And then I can't always comment. But I love hearing about what you are learning and experiencing. We pray for you and think of you very often. It is so great to see Cayman thrive and grow into an even more beautiful little girl. I know it is because her mom and dad have amazing, multi-faceted beauty just pouring out of every part of them.<BR/><BR/>We love you guys!Sarah Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13174053690142354694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3926863313544025335.post-82740008786865079462008-09-25T08:14:00.000-04:002008-09-25T08:14:00.000-04:00And yet another beautiful post!

You are such a blessing to me Kristen!!! <BR/>I wasn't there when u delivered Cayman, but I was getting phone calls updating us and hearing the story of how Cayman instantly took to mommy's voice brightened my night when your mom called. Not only do you mean the world in my life, but you are also touching many many many lives of people all around the world that you have never "met" before. You are also touching one beautiful baby girl's life each and every day. It is so evident that Cayman adores her mommy!!!! (and daddy too, of course!!!)<BR/>We love you!!<BR/><BR/><BR/>And I think last night, when we were looking at your post, Ashalyn said to mommy and daddy that she is ready to come see Cayman again!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3926863313544025335.post-24646402561813778012008-09-24T22:19:00.000-04:002008-09-24T22:19:00.000-04:00Oh Kris - I will never forget that moment when you...Oh Kris - I will never forget that moment when you seen Cayman for the first time face-to-face -- IT WAS PRICELESS!!! I don't think there was a dry eye among us when we seen Cayman respond to your voice and the love in your eyes and in your touch and voice. It was sooo Beautiful!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3926863313544025335.post-29662861172102359792008-09-24T10:45:00.000-04:002008-09-24T10:45:00.000-04:00Kristen,What a great post! Writing is definately ...Kristen,<BR/><BR/>What a great post! Writing is definately your strong point! I don't understand poems worth squat! I was very impressed with your insight! <BR/><BR/>On future babies; I can't imagine how scary your delivery was for you! And while i'm not negating the risks the doctor has given you; as a labor and delivery RN I've seen MANY women who have "T" incisions carry future HEALTHY pregnanies and also have seen plenty of women have c-sections with general anesthesia with NO complications. I understand putting the 2 together does make any future pregnancies somewhat more high risk; but LOTS of things are high risk to me-like flying in an airplane when you don't know the pilot (I'm a bit scared of flying) and riding carnival rides when you don't know who put together the rides :) And driving down the road with the possibility of drunk drivers and other hooligans on the the road. Fortunately, we KNOW the 'Pilot' of our lives and the 'Person' who puts together this wild ride we call life and the 'Driver' of our destinations :) <BR/>Please don't get me wrong when I say these things, because you will be labeled 'high risk' and you will worry and you will be scared should you have future pregnacies! But doc's have to tell you these things to FULLY inform you of your risks (a.k.a-so you can't sue them). I also agree that adoption is a WONDERFUL, beautiful option that God has given us! I'm not trying to talk you out of it what so ever as God has certainly put this on your heart; I just don't want you to soley base your decision on your physician-although they have good and factual information. Just remember to talk to the Master Physician and see what he thinks :)<BR/><BR/>Kristen, I feel so lucky to have 'met' you. You are such a beautiful person and it's a priveledge to call you 'friend'!<BR/><BR/>Jill<BR/><BR/>P.s. As I reread this, I hope I didn't offend. Please erase it if I did. I in no way am trying to be offensive, but I'm not an eloquent writer and since I'm not saying this face to face, I don't want you to take this the wrong way. Doctors sometimes just frustrate me when they don't tell you the motive behind their actions and advice is 'sometimes' based partially (or wholey) on legality.Jill S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16844924489718494698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3926863313544025335.post-28098476684523559472008-09-24T01:12:00.000-04:002008-09-24T01:12:00.000-04:00Excellent post...of course as an adoptive mama...I...Excellent post...of course as an adoptive mama...I think it's an excellent choice! :0)my life:https://www.blogger.com/profile/02312183059834467151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3926863313544025335.post-85383830426888006952008-09-23T23:11:00.000-04:002008-09-23T23:11:00.000-04:00Kristen-I loved this post. Thank you so much for s...Kristen-<BR/>I loved this post. Thank you so much for sharing! I always wanted 4 kids and grew up in a family with 5 kids. I am sad about this, but I really have no desire to be pregnant again. Of course God is always in control, but with how traumatic everything with Miles was- I just don't think I could do it. Especially worrying if everything with a new baby would be ok...and then throw in finances and a baby who needs extra attention and Joe and I are pretty set on our family just the way it is. With Greta, I was so sad when she would hit each milestone because it meant she was growing up too fast. With Miles, it's been kind of a blessing to anticipate and cherish each milestone! So if he's our last- I'll never have to go through that "oh, my baby is walking already" instead it will be, "Praise God! Miles is WALKING!"<BR/>I would LOVE to adopt as well, but we'll see what the future holds :)Sherrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09654554496598065721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3926863313544025335.post-18248786438330726982008-09-23T20:32:00.000-04:002008-09-23T20:32:00.000-04:00Amazing post!
