Erin, Wow. Yesterday you were saying you had back pains and I said it was like with Grace's contractions, and it was.
Praise God you are both well and ok!
I really wish I was in the states to see my friends baby and to give you a big big hug!!!
Hmmm lucky I have bought stuff for Mr Isaac and you already so now I just have to search my desk for your address again..... 
Praying for you, Klay and Isaac
Love you lots!

Erin, you're amazing.
God is good. I had told Erin I would get her a swaddler from our hospital and she joked with me (this was maybe 2 months ago?) about "having lots of time"....so I hadn't gone to get it yet.
Today I have had her and Isaac Terry on my mind ALL DAY and I just had to go get her one so I fed and changed Adam (which makes it more real about Isaac, that I have my little one here and he is so BIG compared to hers), but I got him ready and went down to the hospital. The little store in the birth center is only open for one hour per day.
I kept thinking on my 15-minute drive "What does a baby 2 pounds, 14 ounces even LOOK LIKE in size?" I couldn't picture a baby so small.
Got on the parking ramp elevator only to be joined at the next level by a woman who got on with a teeny tiny Moses basket with THE SMALLEST BABY I HAVE EVER SEEN inside it. The mom was smiling ear-to-ear as the other elevator-riding-lady and I asked questions. He was born early, he currently weighed just over 4 pounds and he had been home for 3 days. HE WAS BEAUTIFUL -- and there he was, laying there before us all snuggled in his little basket. (Thanks, God!)
So I trucked my little one to the store in his carseat (which now my kid looks like he's about 5 years old compared to that little guy in the elevator), but I got to the store with 10 minutes to spare, got the swaddler in green (the only color for preemies, but it's a beauty), chatted it up with the clerk and left, passing the Labor & Delivery area I had given birth in.
There was a wall of "NICU Reunion Quilt" photos that I thought I'd stop at just to see how small the kids are, and get a feel for what good company Isaac Terry is in.
I stopped and one photo caught my eye, and one photo only: Grayson, who was born Sept. 7, 2006 weighing 2 pounds, 14 ounces.....seriously, ladies, by this point I'm in tears -- the exact weight of baby Isaac, and here is this curly-haired little 19-month-old boy in this picture. His parents had written that he was "a normal 19-month-old into everything and doing great".
So that just really lifted my heart and I thanked the Lord for His goodness to me and how He was watching over Isaac and his parents down where they are.
God is so good. I will keep praying for Isaac, Erin as she heals, and Klay as he goes through all this with his family.
Love,
Jeanie

I live in a small town and don't have much access to restaurants. I wonder how I could get her money or a GC quickly.
Most places, you can buy GC's online. Maybe you could even have it mailed to her address instead of your own?

you can either purchase one online from the place that you want, or you can go to walmart (or maybe other stores have this too) and buy gift cards for various places (Chili's, Applebees, etc...) from the store. Or you can go to a bank or mall and purchase a Visa type gift card, that they can use anywhere... just keep in mind that those have to be used by a certain date or they start taking your money off the card in fees.
Erin, I'm still praying for you, and I was speaking with my mom on the phone today and told her about you, and she is also praying.

Praying for you guys ... brings back memories of when my twin nephews were born ... three months premature. One weighed 3lbs, 1oz .. the other was 1lb, 3oz. Today they are healthy 5 year old boys with that lovely 5 year old 'curiosity'.

I am glad you are able to go see him soon. Also PRAISE GOD For taking care of him!!!! Oh my gosh Erin I find it so amazing that he can breathe and that everything is fine except for the fact that he does have to grow. I cannot believe you are a mom already. I was just talking to you yesterday and BAM today is a totally new day! That is just so confusing feeling to me lol I cannot imagine how weird it must feel for you and Klay. LOVE YOU ERIN!!!!! Tell Isaac I say "hi baby!!!!" You can tell him that your Canadian friend said that. 
Moo! 
my soldier!
