Another setback

Well, Annie is still breathing on her own, which is great. But, now she has more gall stones, which is what set all of this in motion in the first place. The doctors are worried that the same thing will happen and that her lungs may collapse again. So, they are now considering taking the baby. Annie is only 30 weeks along. Jamie had her twins at 30 weeks, and they survived, but spent at least a month in the NICU. The doctors estimate that Annie's baby is about 3 1/2 pounds and would need to be in the NICU for at least 6 weeks. Once they take the baby, they would then be better able to assess what the problem is with Annie's gallbladder and see if they need to remove it. Anyway, I'm still worried about both Annie and Libby. Please continue to keep both of them in your prayers.

Annie Update

I truly believe in the power of prayer. Thank you to all of you who have been praying for Annie. She turned a corner yesterday and is now breathing on her own. She is still in the intensive care unit, but she is at least stable and slowly improving. Please continue to keep her in your prayers, as I know they are helping her. We love you Annie! Keep fighting!

More Prayers Please!

Annie's lungs collapsed last night. She is on a respirator. Please pray for her and her baby! I'll continue to keep you updated.

Pray for Annie

For those of you who believe in the power of prayer, please pray for my sister and best friend Annie. She has been in the hospital for over a week. She had gallstones, then pancritis (sp?), and she can't breathe and her heart is beating too fast. Then, to top it all off, she is 6 months pregnant and keeps going into premature labor. She seems to get better and then have relapses. I have faith that she will make it through, but she has to fight right now. So, please keep her in your prayers. Thanks.

The big 24

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

Don't you just love your birthday like I do? It's the best day. I have to work, but we are having a Cold Stone Cake, which always makes things wonderful. Then afterwards some of my girlfriends are taking me out to dinner (Elliott is in the middle of finals and can't do anything with me - but he did buy me a CD and a Cricket cartridge) and then we are going to see a movie. I love birthdays!

Team Edward or Team Jacob?

To all my Twilight series friends out there:



Are you on Team Edward or on Team Jacob?



I am undeniably and utterly in love with Edward. How can you not be in love with Edward when he has rescued the helpless Bella numerous times?? How romantic is that? I love that he is so protective of her, yet lets go enough to allow her to visit Jacob. That takes a real man to let his woman go have closure with another man she may have loved. Plus, everytime they kiss, Bella loses her breath and her heart pounds. She is so in love with Edward, and I think if she chose differently, she may regret it the rest of her life. Although, Jacob could give her a more normal life. He could stop being a werewolf and then they could have kids and live a happy life. But, I think Bella would always think "What if I had chosen Edward?" If she chooses Edward, she and Edward could be happy forever, as they both will be immortal. Plus, what if she chooses Jacob, and then he goes and "imprints" on someone else?? He hasn't officially imprinted on her.



My only hang up with Edward, is that one of the bases for him loving her is her sweet scent. Once she becomes a vampire, her scent will leave since vampires don't have any blood running through them. Will he be as crazy for her if she doesn't tempt him so? Plus, once Bella becomes a vampire, will she really still think that his protectiveness is all that endearing? Or will she start to think it's annoying since she will presumably be able to protect herself? I think their love is deeper though, which is why I think Edward is her better choice. She could barely breathe when he was gone. (I totally cried like a baby when he broke up with her!...am I the only one?) Jacob was a bit of a rebound, if you ask me. Yes, he was there for her in her time of need, but she never felt the same way as she does with Edward.



I think no matter what Bella chooses, she will always have a piece of both of them in her heart. I think it is entirely possible to love two people, no matter what other people say. In my own life, I chose my Edward. I'm incredibly happy with my Edward, and I wouldn't choose the other way if I could go back again. But, every now and then, I wonder about my Jacob Black. I'd like to know that he is happy, as I am. I think that's how Bella would feel, too. I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE FOURTH BOOK! Elliott pre-ordered it for me for my birthday!

Jane Doe

Well, they decided on a name:

Macy Nicole

Sorry, Haley, if I didn't spell it right, but I couldn't get confirmation of that from Mom. Such a cute name!
