I am a mom of a cutie pie (very biased). And I wanted to share my experiences with others (including my cuties grandparents, great-grandparents, numerous uncles and other relatives). I love being a mom and can't imagine doing anything else.Six years ago yesterday James Haughery got on one knee and asked Emily Allen to be his wife. I said yes. And we started to plan our lives. Twenty-two months ago yesterday Alivia Haughery entered the world. She was part of what we started planning and dreaming about 6 years earlier.
Tomorrow we will walk into the hospital and hand her over to have a part of her removed. That wasn't something we could have ever planned or imagined. To say I am nervous is the understatement of the year. I am terrified. I want to live in a state of denial and not deal with it. I want to run away to a deserted island and take my baby with me. But the only way for me to be a good mom right now it to pack my bags, bundle up my girl and head to the hospital. I knew being a mom would have difficult times, hard decisions but I always imagined that would mean dealing with attitudes or obedience....not this.
Surgery is scheduled for 1. It is supposed to last 3 or 4 hours. Pray for us.

Emily,
I will be praying for Alivia and you and James tomorrow. I can relate to sending your child into surgery! It's a scary thing, but also an opportunity to trust the Lord!

When you hand livi to the doctors, just remember that the Lord will be in that operating room watching over her. You will be in my thoughts and prayers tomorrow.

Praying, Praying, Praying....
Emily (and James)
You are brave. You are full of fears, of course, but you are also full of faith and that is evident.
You are not alone. There is a whole network of people walking with you right now...as you enter the hospital, as you sit and wait...in the days, weeks, and years ahead. We (all of us) are praying and doing anything we can to offer you support and love. Most of all, the God of the Universe is with you and Jesus has his hand on your little, precious Livi today and always.
So much love for you...
Julie (for the whole Garner family)
XOOOO
