Something I Just Realized

I knew we conceived around the anniversary of my MIL's passing, but it also turns out I am due around the anniversary of my Mamaw's passing. Funny how things turn out that way....makes me feel I have 2 wonderful ladies looking out for this wee one & perhaps they had a hand in bringing her/him to us. Which is a good feeling to have.

I also want to reiterate how God listens to & answers prayers....I can surely attest to that! Look at how this blog started out, for instance. I got myself in gear and read some scriptures....just let them open up where they may & read....interestingly each time all mentioned having faith in Heavenly Father, & if a prayer was asked in faith & if you maintain that faith, that He will provide what you earnestly desire.

I am so very grateful that Heavenly Father has allowed us this opportunity again, and that He has provided what we earnestly desired. I feel so overwhelmingly loved and am so excited for this journey. Thank you God for this mighty blessing & for all your wonderful blessings!

A Not So Fun Part of Pregnancy

So, I am sick. Not sick like morning sickness sick, sick like cold/allergies sick....in other words, I feel like poop. The worst part about it is, I CAN'T TAKE ANYTHING!!! Until I am 12 weeks, no cold medicine is safe, according to my ob/gyn. I can ease my distress with benedryl, or I can use vicks vapor rub, and I can take tylenol.....none of which would really work worth a hoot. Oh baby, the things your mother has to go through already for you! Hehe (and of course I'd rather have you and deal with the cold, than to not have you....it's just why couldn't I have had this cold a few weeks ago before you came along? *wink*) Anyhoo, off to lay down & try not to sweat to death. Love you baby!

I Lied....HAHA!

Just in case you don't see the wonderful widget to the right.....I AM PREGNANT!!!!!!! God is GREAT!!!!! I have thanked Him over and over and OVER again for giving us this blessing. I should be due around October 11th, how grand! AND not only am I pregnant, but so are 2 of my friends! They are due before me though, some time in September I think. This is so exciting!! Thank You God for your Almighty Graciousness!!

This is all I'm gonna say....

YAY!!!!!

A Few Thoughts....

First & foremost.....dang it's COLD!! This little jot down will be short, as I am soooooooooo ready to climb into my bed in an attempt to get toasty warm.....maybe my hubby's back hair will finally be of some good use ;) Heeee heeeheeeee! I know, I know way TMI :P Tonight would def. be a good time to read in bed, something I have not done in a while & actually miss. Hmmmm....

Just wanted to say the countdown is on....in about, ohhhh, 4 more days I'll be able to start testing *YAY!!!* I hope & pray with all my hopes & prayers that I'll get a beautiful 2 lined test here shortly....c'mon God....PLEASE!?!?!?!

Lastly, it has been real nice having hubby off work for several days, and my son out of school Monday & today. There was alot to do in/around the house & it certainly helped to have several days in a row to get things done. We're getting there, finally, thank God! Only a year & a half after moving in here, heh!

Oh My Goodness The Weather!

Just call me a weather predictor....not a meteorologist mind you, a weather predictor. Without fail, it always either snows or sleets or we get at least freezing rain right around Garrett's birthday every year....it could be in the 70's one day and the next the world is freezing over! Funny how that happens, but once again this year I was right ;) Several people thought surely not this year seeing as it's been so warm lately, but as I type this, a very pretty snowfall is occurring outside! Although it is supposed to melt away tomorrow it's been very pleasant to look at. I do not like the cold....to tell the truth I loathe it....but looking at the snow from within the walls of my toasty living room is quite alright by me! Sharing this time with my hubby is quite alright by me too, hee hee! Who knows what this wintry weather might bring? ;)

Some Thoughts for Today....

1) My hair has gotten so long already, although unfortunately it's not going to grow much more....never has & probably never will, which sucks

2) I hate the color of my hair.....wanted it jet black & that's what it was dyed as.....did it stay that way? NO! *sigh*

3) I wish Jerry was home from work already....hated he had to go in to begin with

4) I am so thrilled, yet so shocked that Gabe just literally overnight decided he was potty trained, and is! This, after months on end of trying to get him to get "with the program", is just truly amazing & a Godsend.

5) I can't believe Garrett is going to be in Middle School next year....my baby is growing up too fast! Sometimes that makes me want to cry, for real yo.

6) I am grateful God listens, even if I am not praying per se....it seems sometimes things just come to me although I've not "asked" for them, such as when I was wanting some OPK's for TTC this month, but did not have the $ to get them in time for testing....well next thing I know I got some unexpected $ & was able to order them....God is good....hopefully He'll be real good & give me a baby to go along with the blessing of OPK's ;o)

7) I really need to try to go to bed earlier, considering Gabe is still not one to sleep late, even if he goes to bed late....I am sooooo sleepy but have so much to do today :( Maybe this is why I hate that Jerry had to work today, hehehe.

8) I wish I could win the lotto, although I don't play....either that or someone would just randomly give me a huge sum of dough....this not having any $ thing really stinks because there's so much I'd like to do to this house/land.

9) I really don't feel like taking Garrett to Scouts tonight....I know I have to, and I know it'll be good to get out of the house for a bit, I just don't like the "getting ready to go & getting the boys ready to go" part of it, heh.

10) I so should get my elliptical & work my very fat butt off, but don't wanna....I loathe exercising with a passion....maybe Jerry & I should go on "The Biggest Loser: Couples"....but then he'd probably be the one to lose 50 lbs & I'd be the one to gain weight! (& then I'd have to severely hurt him LOL)

Okay.....my brain hurts right now, so for now this has to end. Toodleloo.
