Prego Update...


Here I am now at 7 1/2 months! I am almost to the end! Yippie!

THE READING LESSON BOOK

Today I happened upon a great reading/phonics lesson that I am going to try on my 7 year old that is in need of some extra help. If you're interested in it to, check them out. http://readinglesson.com
They have simple lessons that do not take to long to use and it seems to really grow the childs confidence because of how easy they are. As a mom, I enjoyed the lesson, too.

Kleenex please...

Yesturday started off well, then went south for the rest of the day! I was very emotional. One minute I was happy and the next wanting to cry hysterically! My family took it all in stride and my wonderful hubby let me go off by myself for a little while! Thank you Jesus for an understanding man. Now I woke this morning feeling like myself again. I am going to have to just know that days like yesturday do pass and I can get through them with much GRACE!

Just So You Know...

My husband is recovering quite nicely! He goes to PT 3 days a week and also does his exercises at home 2-3 times per day. His attitude has been amazing-even when the recovery has had good/bad days. I am so proud of him!

My pregnancy is going really well and I am definatly past the stage of people "wondering" if I am pregnant or if I just like to eat! (True on both!)

Baby is moving sooo much. I can not figure out which way she is facing or what part of her I am feeling but she is very active! I love it though, because it is so nice to feel her. We are really excited to have her here with us!

I have 12 weeks of school left. Yes- I am counting! I told the boys and they were excited, too! It has been a great year and I am glad we were here doing it together. I have plans to buy next years curriculum in May so that I can have it and be prepared for the following year before baby comes.

I have again cut sugar from my diet. I really like sugar, but my body doesn't! So out it goes-again.

What a day!

Today my dear, sweet husband and BF had to have knee surgery. He is a trooper though! I think he prayed more for me than for himself! :-)
The day began early and went like this:

5am-I was up and at em'
515-I did my mile walking video-happy it was still a quiet house!
6am-the troops began to stir
615-kids officially up then dress, make beds, eat. I get up my love.
630-I get ready for the day, pack food for my hungry self and tidy up our home
740-we are out the door to drop kids with a friend
815-check in at hospital
830-we go to pre-op until love is taken back at 10:15 for surgery. Pics taken and many laughs from the lovely attire and get up! The nurses dimiss me right before he gets his happy meds--I was sorry to miss that part :-)
1015-1210-I am in waiting room enjoying my many snacks, crosword puzzles and free decaf coffee and hot cocoa! Dr. consulted me and said all went well, gave me cool pics of inside a knee and then I went to see my still grogy hubby.
1pm-We are released with 7 pages of instructions, crutches, and a really cool ice machine that is suppose to keep knee swelling down.
130-HOME!! We stood in the front yard a while because hubby thought he may get sick, but only phlem:-) inside we go.
200-He is set on the couch, hooked up with remote, h20, saltines, pillows, etc..
I leave to get meds filled.
230-Call from friend who has kiddos--they are ready to come home. We meet there and I go with them to store, pick up meds/food/ice.
420pm-HOME AGAIN! This time hubby is asleep, so we unload food and I get kiddos into showers. I had them after they played at park and football.
6pm-Dinner
630-stories/prayers
715-bed
currently--I am out of steam!!!

Going to bed, but praiseing GOD for his goodness today!

Random Thoughts

As I am writing this, my youngest is jumping in the corner with his sweatshirt to conquer the cob web he spotted while in time out! He got it and reminded me that I may need to get started on spring cleaning. :-)

I have a bunch of books and some clothes that I want to get rid of, so I found this site. kidscloset.biz I think it may be a fun way to get rid of things that I have been holding on to for a while. I went to the sale last year and found great deals for the boys snow boots. I might even make a little $ to put towards next years school curriculum.

Things I love and am thankful for: (random order)

*warm Spring days
*holding hands with my husband and best friend
*living out life with my husband and best friend
*the feeling of our baby moving in the womb
*my kiddos saying something so smart that they leave me speechless
*watching my kiddos sleeping
*scrapbooking
*bubble baths
*reading the Bible
*revelation
*the way I am loved even when I do not deserve it
*forgiveness
*salvation
*the CROSS and Jesus
*our health
*a good book
*home improvement shows
*friends

Just a few things I wanted to remind myself that I am thankful for and blessed with! It is so good to take stock and keep things in perspective.

Are you there God?

There are days that I wish that I could hear God more clearly. I wonder what He is up to and what His plan is, but I know He knows and we are not forgotten. But I wonder! He is Good ALL THE TIME!
