All Is Well...

So far things are going pretty well around here. While I have moments of frustration or irritation about all the medical bills that keep piling up and all the other expenses we have, most of the time I really don't fret about it. This is a HUGE praise because I am very much a worry-wart and this is usually a stressor that causes depression and such. God is good and will continue to see us through.

Baby (a.k.a. "Nemo") is coming along just fine if the latest development is any indication: I now have morning sickness. It does affect me all day long, but only if I eat too much, not enough, or if something doesn't settle well. :) No real surprise here, though - I figured that as bad as my morning sickness was with Kiddo, I'd at least have to deal with it for a short while. I'm not concerned and I don't think my doctor will be either. I eat small meals/snacks whenever I'm hungry. Speaking of feeling nauseated...ick. :)

Kiddo and Hubby are quite well and are pampering me day in and day out. Hubby gives me back rubs and brief massages as often as I ask and Kiddo - though frustrated with his homeschool work the last few days - has continued to make sure that everyone knows that I'm pregnant and prays for Nemo and me often. And today we finally had a big breakthrough on his schoolwork, so even that is picking up. We also had homeschool PE this morning, so Kiddo has had a great morning and will have a great night at church tonight, too.

I need to figure out what we'll be doing for dinner, so I have to go. I just wanted to hop on and let everyone know that we are doing well. It appears that we're in for another nasty winter storm tonight through Friday, so prayers that our power holds out and that we can stay warm - as well as all the other thousands of people who are likely to be affected. Also, my father-in-law is out of town for work and might be traveling home in this weather...please pray for traveling mercies for him.

Much love and many blessings to you!

I'll be praying for you too Misty. Praying you'll have a peace to know that God will provide and that you'll feel well throughout the pregnancy.
That's so sweet that your husband gives you massages and takes such good care of you.
I love the button you added that shows how many days until "baby" arrives. Very cool!
Take care Misty!
Love,
Valerie

On the Brink of More Change...

I can feel it. I am on the cusp of something new. Something different. Something beautiful. I still have no idea what God might be up to - and I am truly okay with that at the moment. I have completed another round of Freedom in Christ. God spoke to me in so many ways...and He continues to do so. I feel so very valued and treasured by my Father. I am in relationship with Him in ways that I always wanted - yet never really felt were achievable. As I have put forth the effort to come to Him more consistently and with a growing desire to go deeper, He has been unendingly gracious and faithful. So as I fall on my face, He gently leans in and scoops me up. The panic and anxiety that once ruled my life are far less, and the calm amidst the  chaos has grown exponentially. I know where to go when it begins to grow again...and it does. Sometimes. Yet God is always ready when I call on Him...and that in and of itself are a learning curve for me. I've learned that others are not constant. Sh...

I Have Returned to the Land of the Living...

I promise that I'm around and making it here! It's been pretty crazy what with starting school and becoming a leader in our homeschool support group. (In my defense, I didn't realize that was what I was doing. I thought I was going to coordinate the holiday parties...turns out when you only have one active officer, said officer reserves the right to make you a leader in that group. Hmm. The things you learn. :) School is going okay...or should I be more specific? Social studies, Language Arts and Science are going okay...mathematics? Not so great. We have determined that Hooked on Math is NOT a good match for my child. He gets SO frustrated he winds up in tears within seconds of the MENTION of "Hooked on Math". (While I must admit that a portion of this is due to his processing issues and I want him to learn to be more flexible, I NEVER want him to be THIS stressed out. Therefore we are searching for a new math program/curriculum. I am very interested in Math-U-Se...

Keeping My Eyes Fixed In the Storms of Life

On September 20th, my father-in-law collapsed at home. My mother-in-law called 9-1-1 and emergency crews arrived within a few minutes. During that time, he stopped breathing and had no heartbeat. Emergency crews were able to revive him, and he was transported to a local heart hospital. The next two weeks were nothing short of torturous. In order to stop potential brain damage, he underwent a procedure that chilled his core body temperature almost 10 degrees and then after 24 hours, warmed him to normal body temp. Doctors were unsure if he would awake. However, after 12 days on the ventilator, when it was removed, it was like someone flipped a switch. He simply woke up. Even the doctors were amazed. Still groggy from the medications used during that time, he remembers nothing from that time, until about 5 days later, shortly before he had his pacemaker installed. Twenty-two days after his "cardiac event", he was released from the hospital. Still quite weak, he continues to g...
