Ladies,<BR>I am pleased to report that there appears to have been the final contact with OW...no evidence of any kind since the week after July 4th, when I thought he might be wrapping things up. (Note to AW...you were right about the cell phone. I tested it. Bless your heart for letting me know.) BIG changes in H since then as well....very helpful, tells me he loves me, kisses me upon arrival and when leaving for work, very excited about the baby (told me Monday morning that he had thought about the baby all night at work....about how much he loved her already and couldn't wait to be able to hold her.)...and (drumroll please) yesterday he put his WEDDING RING back on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<P>Of course, it came off again when he went to sleep and he won't wear it to work...but he did wear it when we were running errands. And today he saw mine lying on a table and questioned me about it...seemed upset until I explained that my fingers are swollen. His coment then was for me to please not loose it.<P>So I give thanks to God many many many times a day, and i pray for each and every one of you here who have been so good about praying with me through this ordeal. Also, I wanted to ask a question.....have any of you read Power of a PRaying Parent? I was given a copy at my baby shower this weekend. In light of how much I learned in POPW, I was touched that my friend had gotten the parents book for me to begin praying for Ana Marie even before she gets here.<P>I know that some of you are having a really tough time still. Know that my prayers will be with you eventhough I will post less often now that school is starting back.<P>Bless you all,<BR>Kim

hw,<BR>I thought about changing my name on this board too...but so far, haven't come up with a new one. Maybe I'll surprise everyone with my new identity soon. Truth is, i feel like a completely different person now. I take nothing for granted, and find joy in such small things. Most of all, I have an inner strength now that I never had before and a trust in God that i had never fully relied on before.<BR> <BR>Kim

How 'bout.....<P>emptyinside...NOT!<P>Congratulations and keep on seeking God. That's great news!!<P>Aloha,<BR>Mrs.O<BR>
