- My anxiety. My trust is in the Lord, I know that He is sovereign. But I get scared just like anyone. I hate surgery, I would rather push out 10 babies, than go through this. But, this is the path God has chosen for us to have our children.
- I get very sick immediately following surgery. They always put some kind of morphine mixture in my iv after they get the baby out. This medicine makes me VERY sick. Hours of vomiting. It makes it difficult to nurse and cuddle my baby.
- Pray that I can hold and nurse the baby immediately. We don't let the baby go to the nursery, Martie gives our babies their first bath. They are with us constantly. This can be difficult with me getting sick and trying to nurse.
- Pray for Martie. His back went out last Wednesday. Plus he has his own fears I'm sure. (although he doesn't voice those to me) :)
- Taylor gets very nervous. She understands what goes into the surgery and it scares her. She also sees me very sick afterward.
- Pray for all the children while we are at the hospital. Pray that they will glorify God with their words and actions. (especially since we won't be around to remind them) :)
- Rejoice with us! Praise God for His sovereign will!
- Lastly, pray for us to choose this babies name!!! That's right we STILL DON'T have a name. Trusting the Lord will give it to us at the right moment.

praying sweet friend!!
Hi. I got here via my sister & wanted to ask if you could request they also administer Zofran right before the procedure. It is a powerful antiemetic (stops nausea).
I had hyperemesis with both pregnancies and was on Zofran via my PICC line all day every day and also received it with my deliveries.
It is amazing!!
Don't let nausea ruin your special time with your family!
Talk to your dr. or anesthesiologist about it.
(Go to helpher.org for more info about hyperemesis. )
We will be praying for everyone...and trust that the Lord is in control. Can't wait to hear the good news! (and the name!)
- The Whole Hambrick Clan
p.s. May I bring a meal by sometime this week?
heathermommie- thanks for that info. I know they've tried several things in the past. I'm not sure of all the different drugs. I will mention that.
Jennifer- Thank you for your prayers! I'm so excited for you, and have enjoyed comparing your "nesting blogs" to mine. hehehe We have some friends and church members bringing some meals this week. Thank you though, you take this time and focus on getting ready. :D
So excited for you guys! I will be praying for a great day.
We love you!! And I will be praying for you (and everyone)!
We will be praying here in PA :) Bill and Josiah said they want you to have a girl and name her Alice...haha. I have no idea where they picked up that name. I told the boys that you were going to have your new baby today and they all screamed in excitement!!! Love you, and can't wait to hear the good news!
We have been praying for your entire family all weekend, and we are SO excited to see these beautiful pictures of Carissa! God is so good! We rejoice with you and your family and will continue to pray for all of you!
Love you! Tonya and the rest of the Nelsons
