Thankful Thursday

1. Today I am thankful that my husband did not get called in to work at 12:00 a.m. He is still totally exhausted from having to work Tuesday from 12 to 3 p.m. I'm not sure if he will catch back up on his sleep.

2. I am thankful for our precious baby. (scroll down a few a couple of posts to see a photo) Believe you me, before I have this baby you will be sick of looking at it!! :)

3. I am thankful for a very understanding boss who let me come in an hour late to work today because apparently my body was just informed that I was pregnant because I was very nauseated this morning. But I did not throw up because I just don't do that. So I'm hoping that it was just a one time thing!!!

4. I am thankful that our mission trip is next week. I am so excited about going back to see all of those precious kids!!

5. I am thankful for a loving God who has truly blessed Nick and I with this baby! I can't wait until January.

Prayer Request

I just received a phone call from my dear friend Ducks and Books, aka Jenny, who asked that I pray for one of her daughters KayLee. If you have read her blog you know that this precious one is suffering from another UTI. Jenny was able to move her doctors appointment to today. I ask that you please pray for this precious baby girl that God will heal her and the doctors can find the true cause of all these infections and stop them from coming back!! Their appointment is at 1:oo.

A Little of This and A Lot of That..................

Sooooooo.......................I have been trying to think of something to write since last Thursday, but I have just been drawing a complete blank! So I thought I would share a few things about how I told Nick that I was pregnant and our family also.

We had been trying since January to get pregnant and May rolled around and nothing. I thought we would just wait and see what June brought, but it turns out that God had other plans. Our 4 year anniversary was on May 17th. I had been feeling a little sluggish and really just thought it was stress from work. My sister,NOONOO, had called the day before and was telling me about a diet that she was gonna try and I told her that I had just gotten through eating a quarter pounder with cheese for lunch. She asked me if there was a "reason" that I was eating something like that and I said "no" because I thought that there was no way I could be pregnant because we were even using an ovulation kit and it didn't work. Soooooo........ on our anniversary I decided what the heck, I'll take a test and see. I did the test and thought that I would just leave it laying there, walk away for a while and then come back later. Before I could get out the bathroom there was already a plus on the test. I had to look at it a few times before I could believe my eyes. When it finally hit me, I hit my knees by the bathtub and started to praise God for His many many blessings. What a time of praise I had with Him. I could not wait till Nick got home. It was all I could do to not call him and tell him over the phone.
When he got home from work, he came around the corner with his anniversary card behind his back thinking he would beat me to the card giving. Well, needless to say, I one upped him when I pulled out the pregnancy test and showed it to him. He was shocked but he did not faint! HEHE! He was one happy "Daddy"!! We could not wait to tell, but because I couldn't get a doctors appointment for a month, we had to keep our mouths shut!

So a month went by and I went to the doctor to confirm what 5 other, yes 5 , tests had confirmed. When Nick got home from work that day we went up to his Mom and Dads to tell them the news. Of course I had to tell them because I don't think Nick could even say the words out loud. So I just went with-"I'm going to rock both of your world's with what I'm about to tell you." Before I could even say it, Tom said "Your pregnant aren't you?" I said yes and I don't think he thought that I was serious until I had to tell Sharon Yes a lot because all she could say was really? really? really? They were excited but I think Tom thinks he won't get to ride his motorcycle all that much anymore. Everyone that we told has been very excited. Of course we had already told My parents because I knew my Dad would not be home last week after I went to the doctor and I wanted to tell them at the same time.

Anyways, enough of my ramblings!! Have a blessed day! To be continued.......... I go to the doctor next Thursday and I'm sure there will be a photo to show!!!

Thankful Thursday

First of all, I just have to say that I am thankful for everything. I mean it-everything!

I am thankful that I can finally tell people that I am pregnant! Yes- PREGNANT!
Can you believe it?????? I am 9 weeks and counting. We go for our first ultrasound on July 5th which, by the way, is Daddy Nick's birthday. What a day that will be!!!
I can only keep a secret for so long!!

Thank you Lord for your many blessings!!!

Have a blessed day!!

Everything turned out so well and I sort of miss it already!! I just love being around my kids and watching them learn all kinds of things!!

Could you repeat that please???????

The other day my hubby had to go for his yearly check up to make sure that his blood pressure was still under control. FYI.................. About a year ago he thought he was having a heart attack and we had to take him to a doctor where they said that all was wrong was that his blood pressure was too high. So they sent him off with a prescription for some meds and told him to get another check-up in a week with his regular doctor which we did not have at the time. So I made an appointment with a local doctor here in our wee little town and come to find out his heart skips a beat. So he had to go for all these tests and they eventually just put him on a mild blood pressure med and that has worked thus far. Sooooooooooo back to the other day......... He went for his check up and they found that his cholesterol was too high. May I remind you he is only 26. They told him to cut out the red meat and of course that is not an option for him because he can't live without it! We were discussing with his mother about how his doctors appointment went and how the doctor told him that he needed to cut out the red meats. His Dad was listening to our conversation and I could tell that he was wanting to say something and low and behold this is what he told my hubby to do.... "If you would just cook the meat a little longer then the doctor would leave you alone!" Talk about hilarious!! He won't live that down for a while. But if it weren't for him I would be the only one with stupid outbursts. HEHEHEHE.

Happy Birthday Lacey!!!

Alex Is Finally Graduating!!!

My nephew Alex is finally graduating from Kindergarten. He has been good for 4 weeks now! No paddlings! YEAH!! He will not have a formal graduation, which I can not believe. I guess his school doesn't think it's a big thing anymore. But we decided to throw him a party tonight. He got a cake with his name on it and some ice cream also. So I guess you could say he had a blast.So here is a photo of him in his cap and gown. He looks like a professor!!
