I got my name on the board!

We have a board at church that tells who is new and who is due. I finally got my name on that board! I always did enjoy looking at it and seeing all the info about due dates and then info about the baby after it was born. So, yeah, I am pretty excited that we are up there! Also, just to update. I left my job with my sister in law, it was just too much travel and time away from Kevin. I am now in need of something else for a little while but finding a job is a job. Please pray for me as we wait on the Lord. The timing of the Lord is gracious...this is a "seasonal" time and so I think that I should be able to find something that I can do until January. We will see. "As for God His way is perfect and His word is proven true."

random info

Just some random info for those of you who are reading my blog from time to time. I have been very weary. I am missing hubby a lot. I am working out of town right now for just a little while to help pay for baby. It is great and really no problem except that I love my husband long to be with him any time I can be. Last night at youth though, I was convicted about something. Pastor Tim was talking about love and how when you love something or someone you want to be with them all the time. I got to thinking that I cry sometime when I am away from Kevin and long to be near him again but, how often to I cry because I miss the Lord or long to be with Him? Not to say that I have never cried out to the Lord or longed to be with Him, but you know what I mean? I just need and want to be deep in the Word....therein is life!!!

BBQ hurt me. Spaghetti sounded great tonite but I think I am having a hard time. I have taken a few Tums and we will see if that helps. Mostly, I feel like you do when you swallow a pill and it gets stuck in your goozle!! You know what a goozle is right? Things appear to be progressing well. I do look forward to my Dr. Appointments and can not wait until I get a more defined "bump"!!

10 1/2 week appointment

Praise the Lord! I had my 2nd appointment yesterday! I am only 1 and 1/2 weeks from being through my first trimester. It has been a whirlwind and things have been great! I heard the heartbeat again and found out that I can get off the hormone medicine on the 20th. Also, I did not gain any weight! I am pretty pumped about that! I feel great and am looking forward to great things. Thanks again for all your prayer and support.

quick update

Not much new to report. Missing my friends a lot due to the fact that I am working a lot right now. Have a WONDERFUL husband but that has not changed. I have an appt with Dr. Simmons on Wed and am really looking forward to that. It will be about the 11th week and I am feeling pretty good. Hopeful that things are still moving along well. Things feel the same and we are just trusting the Lord to bring this blessing to full term. Thanks for all the prayers and words of encouragement. It has been a fun fun time.

my new favorite thing

First let me say that I love love love orange juice! I drink it almost every morning and this morning was no exception....however, this morning, I got the honor of throwing it up!!! Not only did I throw it up, but it was pouring down rain, I was in the car, and my head was hanging out the window...I think I will be a pretty good mom because I was able to drive, cry and puke all at the same time!! :) Now, on to better things....Do you know about the Boppy? Well, if you are pregnant, they make one for you. Yes, it is called the Boppy Total Body Pillow and it is for us moms. It is shaped like an "S" and part is for your head, part cradles your belly and the other part goes between your legs. I LOVE it!!! I would use it even if not pregnant. I love it so much that I have 2. One for my house and one for when I travel. That is really all that I have to report right now except that we are not finding out the sex of the baby.....did I tell you that already? Well today, I had a friend give me the cutest shirt that is solid black but in white print, is says, "Not Finding Out"...it is sooooo cute!!

"Food" for thought

Well, some of you have told me about ways to avoid "sickness".....some of you have said to eat more and some have said to drink more and others still have said to take the vitamin at night. So, today I am going to try the vitamin at night. I have tried to eat more....this morning for breakfast, I did pretty good and then at lunch, I was dying for Taco Bell...it was GREAT going down!!! I loved every minute of it but after a while, not so much!!! I didnt get sick, but I burped it up all afternoon!!! Then for dinner the best choice for me was a cheese burger and when it came, I ate two bites and was so full, I could not breathe!!!!! What is going on? Back in the day, I could have eaten the whole burger, fries and a piece of cheese cake!!! I guess this is good, because my goal is to only gain 25lbs. Some think that is an unreasonable goal, but I am trying to take care of myself. So, if this keeps up, I might just make it. This baby does like Mexican though I think. Taco Bell was a little much, but well worth it at the time.

just an update

not much to tell right now. Today I am celebrating my 8 year anniversary! My sweet hubby sent me some beautiful flowers. I am feeling a bit puny today. Very sleepy! I guess that is normal right? Have a bit of a headache and I think it is due in part to a lack of water.....I must do better in that area! Ya'll pray for me that I will take good care of myself and do what I know I must do. Like drink water.
