Well, last week was a tough week - it was full of ups and downs - but God is faithful and He never left my side.
Mark Gibson's service (our dearly loved Children's Pastor) was beautiful. It was full of reminiscing laughter and deeply-felt tears of mourning. However, not for one moment did anyone forget that we have hope in Christ Jesus and we will one day be reunited. God is good - even in the sudden death of a friend. Mark's life was a life full of passion for reaching out with God's love and he will be remembered fondly for the impressions that he made on so many young lives. Thank you all for remembering us and especially the family in your thoughts and prayers for the loss of this wonderful man.
Tuesday morning - nearly 24 hours after learning that I am indeed pregnant - I went to have more labs drawn. They went ahead and drew for all of my early prenatal testing, so that's done. I'm ahead of the game, here. :) Thursday I finally got the results of that testing and my numbers are increasing as they are supposed to...in fact they were even higher than anticipated. (This is great news!) My progesterone, however, was a tiny bit low so I am taking a supplement once a day for about 10 weeks or so. My first appointment will be next month on the 17th, so I'll certainly keep you posted on the progress of "Nemo". (Just before they left my outpatient surgery room at the hospital last Monday, Hubby, Kiddo and my mom were all watching Animal Planet. They had just shown a clutch of fish eggs and it reminded Hubby of the Disney show "Finding Nemo", so when I told him I was pregnant he said that he was going to call the baby "Nemo". Silly boy!)
Today, Kiddo had his shots and I got to tell his nurse why my surgery was cancelled...actually Kiddo told her - he is so excited. I love it. He teases me about not eating enough for two and occasionally we joke about the seats/chairs not being designed for two. He smiles or really laughs - I think he loves this even more than me!
Once we got home, we did school and Kiddo did so well. Next week we'll add more stuff to our schedule, but this week we're doing only what has to get done. Tomorrow I'll start Beth Moore's "Beloved Disciple" with my Tuesday morning group and Wednesday we'll have homeschool PE. Thursday we'll have a homeschool meeting in the morning and in the afternoon we have NOVO - the after school Bible club. As you can see, this is obviously our crazy-busy week - but we'll make it and we'll have a blast!
It's time to go...I wanted to update before I did my Bible study work for today so that you all would know that all is well in our little place in this world. We are healthy (with the exception of a little sinus stuff) and we are happy beyond belief. We are working through a busy week with complete joy knowing that God is working a miracle in our lives in so many different ways.
But before I go: If you had to pick your number one (today) favorite blessing, what would it be? I have so many that it's hard, but today? Today I am blessed to be carrying a child that God is knitting together right now to be perfectly suited for His will. Wow...I am truly blessed beyond measure!
Be blessed!
