Prayer Request

Carson is still getting up in the night and I have been dealing with it okay because I am not working, but that will change next week as I am back to work bright and early Monday morning. The concern that has been weighing on my mind is the Ladies Retreat. When I realized Carson would be 2 months old at retreat time I was a little weary about leaving for that amount of time, but figured he would be doing okay during the night and I would just have to deal. As we get closer to the retreat and he is not getting through the night I am feeling pretty guilty about leaving. Our mornings here are crazy as it is, and to throw a short nights sleep into the mix for my husband is expecting alot. I'm afraid the whole time I am gone I will be worrying and on my cell constantly checking in. I really want to go because Laura is coming home, and Sherry is going to be there after missing last year, plus I miss Christy so much! The fact that Bethany is missing this year, the rest of the gang needs me there to keep them in line. I'm considering taking a year off. Don't freak out Charity........

I guess my prayer request is that Carson will start doing better so I don't feel so guilty and uncomfortable about leaving. At this point I just don't feel like I can go.

Mom...keep your ears open for someone at church who might be able to take my spot.

I am sad that you might not be able to go...but completely understand. Hopefully Carson starts eating and sleeping well soon. We will definitely will be praying.

Have you considered bringing Carson? There's always a couple of babies there. And I'm sure there will be plenty of hands to help out. Besides he needs to learn to "camp" at some point. Hope it works out for you. I'm actually iffy too. Carilion really screwed me over and I might not recover in time to afford the trip back.

I felt really bad when you said you couldn't go....because I went this year and you didn't go.
