Come Right On In!

This is one shower that I am thrilled to take part in, along with my friends from the olden days at Choosing Home.

Following the loss of her first son, and then subsequent years of infertility following the birth of her daughter, our dear friend and former web mistress, Jenna, is expecting a baby.   Jenna’s daughter, who is five years old, used to pray for another little baby every night.   God has heard her cry, and those of her Mommy and Daddy, and has sent this new little one who is still growing on the vine.  Isn’t God MARVELOUS!  I am still just breathless at it all.

If ever a woman deserved a party – Jenna does.  

It is just a joy to reunite, one more time, with the other gals from Choosing Home, and celebrate the Lord’s goodness to our dear friend.

Think of this as a multi-roomed party.  Dawn kicks things off over at Choosing Home.  Lynn will be sharing some recipes there as well.  Molly shares some of Jenna’s story, Dawn gives Jenna (and you) some wonderful gifts of decorations for baby’s room and favorite books for little ones, Ann V. delights us with scripture, and me?  I’m posting some of my very favorite links, custom assembled for Jenna.

Dive right in, enjoy the fun – and feel free to leave Jenna congratulations and prayers and well wishes in the comment section below.  We love you, Jenna and family!

Jenna,  Here’s a good link for baby names and their meanings. Isn’t it so much fun to search for just the right baby name?

And here’s my favorite place to buy maternity clothing.  You can find ANYTHING here. 

Jenna loves to work with yarn – so here’s a BUNCH of free patterns for baby items.  And here’s some more.  There are so many incredible yarns out there that are a pleasure to work with.  Hey…that gives me an idea….

While we’re making something…how about the directions to make a wrap to carry baby in?  It doesn’t get much more simple than this!  Jenna can make just about anything with her hands.

And although this site is meant to help women who carry breech, this site taught me so much about how a baby lies within the womb, and how to help it get into position for birth.

Here’s a link to Super Baby Foods by Ruth Yaron – which is one of the things I’m going to be sending to Jenna while she waits on the little bean.  It is THE BEST BOOK hands down on the issue of feeding a child for ANY mom!

Last, but not least…this is the neatest site about saving money and making homemade diapers out of just about anything.  It’s called Frugal Diapering…and some of them are so cute!  

Speaking of CUTE, you need to head over to Jenna’s site to see the ultrasound pictures of her ….well, go see for yourself!  They are just posted today. 

Thank you Jesus, for the work you are doing!

Delighting WITH all of you -
