Last Week: There really wasn’t a last week, so I am starting from scratch. But I did manage to start a guild challenge on Friday and finish it on Sunday.
This WeeK:
- Pack for Retreat
- Go to Retreat
- Sew at Retreat
- Have fun at Retreat
- Come home from Retreat rested and rejuvinated
- Pray for Diva and the baby
At this point they feel Diva’s issues are Uterine Iratibility. There are several causes and no real solution. The meds they have her on wear out after 5 hours and take an hour to cover the pain once her 6 hour dosage is applied. So, she is not having a good time right now. But if it means baby is going to stay put a little/long while we are prepared to help her through this stage. It’s a lot better than expecting the baby to come anyway, but there is still that possibility. So we wait. Continued prayers are VERY welcome! We will get through this with grace from God, and appreciate the intersessions on our behalf. Diva told me the other day she felt the prayers and good thoughts, no doubt in her mind.
As of the time of this writing, Monday afternoon, she was going to be weaned off the meds to see what happens with the cramping. Hopefully at the time you are reading this we have a better understanding of what the rest of the pregnancy may look like. Fingers crossed the uterine cramping subsides. Thank you!
Linking up with Texas Quilt Gal!

I’m just getting caught up on your posts from the last week, Chris! What a time you and your family have had. I’m so glad you’re feeling better and your mom is doing well, too. Sending lots of prayers and good thoughts for Diva and the baby! Meanwhile, I’m glad you’ve gotten in a little stitching therapy – the guild challenge runner is beautiful. Enjoy your retreat this week!
Oh man, I feel for Diva. Cramping is NOT fun at all. I will continue to pray and think positive for her and the baby and all of you.
Your runner is gorgeous!
Thank you Linda, it has been a hard few months, but we are coming out of it stronger in faith and knowledge. And the love we have felt from all of the prayers has been phenomenal! It was what got Diva through quite a few scary moments. > >
Thank you Diann, I know you have had your struggles lately with your mom’s situation. I pray all is well with your family. > >
You are definitely ready for some better news. Hope the cramping subsides for Diva and she and baby are able to rest until delivery. Enjoy your retreat! Keeping you all in my prayers!
Thank you Judy. Momma and baby are home, baby is still secure in her momma’s belly!!! They have no answers as to why this happened, but they are confident they can avoid a preterm labor for a while longer. > >
Praying for Diva and baby as well as you and all your family! Have a wonderful time at the retreat!
Thank you!! Diva sternly told me I was not allowed to back out of the retreat. LOL! > >
She’s right – you really need this! Relax and refresh!
That is a very neat project.
I’m glad to hear baby is still cooking – still sending good juju for a good long bake for the little one!
Thanks! We still need all the good vibes to keep EC put a little while longer. > >
Hi Chris!! That guild challenge piece is so pretty. I love all those fabrics you chose – what doesn’t go with gray Grunge?!! Obviously, God has his arms around both Diva and E. I’m going to continue to ask for that – we want the baby to cook longer and Diva to not feel stressed or pain. My fingers, toes, eyes, legs, and arms are crossed for good news. {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne
Thanks Roseanne, I will be sending you an update later!! You, Sue, and Mom have been champions in the prayers, we so appreciate it! > >
Praying for Diva and your whole family. Amen!
I thank you from the bottom of my heart!!! > >
You made a beautiful table runner (?) Chris, and how fast you were.
Sending prayers and my best thoughts for Diva and the Baby.
Yes, it’s a table runner. Thank you. I had the vision from the first announcement of the challenge in July, but just wasn’t ready to start until August. And then my August went south! LOL. > >
Yes, rest up and enjoy the time at the retreat! Keep busy. Still praying.
Thank you Cindy!! Diva won’t let me back out of the retreat. LOL! > >
Since my daughter’s BF got a job and I now have to watch the young grandchildren while they both work, my sewing and crafting time has gone way down.
I see pack for the retreat on your list. Funny! I put that on my list too. My retreat is Sept. 24th and 25th, but I want to know I’m ready.
What a wonderful thing you are doing for your daughter. Sorry it’s eating into your craft time! I will be having fun starting tomorrow and all the way to Sunday! Let the retreat begin. > >
I Love you table runner, hope you don’t mind me trying something similar you have inspired me for a few Christmas themed gifts
Inspire away! Have fun. Thanks

Continuing to send prayers for all of your family.
Thank You! I will have an update tomorrow morning.
