Welcome Caitlyn

Caitlyn Elizabeth Richey is "due" to arrive on March 16 (same day as we go back to court for Baby L). So today we showered her mom, my sis, Lauren. She got lots of great gifts, and it was a fun time for everyone.


Lauren looks so good...she has seven more weeks to go and she is just glowing right now. This is the sister I blogged prayer requests for last summer (here). Prayers were answered...well, we don't yet know if or how much Caitlyn was affected by Lauren's indiscretions, but so far no tests have indicated reasons for concern. I do believe the Lord intervened in the womb and protected my soon-to-be niece. Lauren is doing so well right now, she always will be an addict, and she has to continue wanting to be healthy and sober in order to be that...but man, she is just such a different person today than she was less than 7 months ago...that is a praise to Jesus, for His mercy, and the grace He has exemplified in her life these last few months.
