I just wanted to say 'thank you' for your kind words and prayers. As I posted before, a Rosary is being said for Jeremy at the funeral home tonight, but I cannot attend since my husband has class until almost 9, and I don't think my two little ones would sit through it. Tomorrow is the burial, which I will be attending. It's going to be so hard. I know all the upheaval Becky is going through having just given birth, but not to have her precious little boy in her arms has got to hurt so much.

Right now our MOMS group is coordinating ways to help them out--besides sending a glut of food. They (Becky and Brian) both have family here, but I know they would like their church family close to them now as well.

I am the only mom left in the group that is still expecting (one woman had her second baby 3 weeks ago), and I can't help but feel a little guilty, even though nothing is my fault. Yesterday I made it through the day without tearing up, but this morning while I was fixing breakfast for myself, I started crying again. I know it will pass.

On a lighter note, I am having my ultrasound on February 16th (at 22 weeks, 2 days). We are taking our 5-year-old daughter to see it (don't think our toddler would sit still that long). She is convinced we are having a girl (she really wants a sister), and calls the baby 'she.' Don't trying telling her it's a boy :P

I will let you all know how things are going.

God bless you all.
