Can someone please explain to me how to put the baby counter on the side and how to change my blog around. I am not sure my mind works that way. Help please!!
So the interview didn't go as well as we had planned or hoped for. First let me say that God is a good God and He does EVERYTHING for a reason even if we don't understand it. There are some things in Josh's past that have come up with his background check. He was honest about those things, but it is really delaying the process. I don't want to go into details, but please pray that the paperwork that is needed will go through and that Josh will have patience. I felt so badly for him. When he told me that basically it didn't go as well as he had hoped he sounded so down. It made me sad. At the same time I was angry. Not at Josh, but at the situation. These things happened almost 10 years ago and it is still coming up. But after talking to my mom and my sister, I realized that God is bringing this up for a reason. So please pray that 1.) Josh can see the good of this 2.) that we can be patient and realize that God has our future in his hands 3.) Whatever needs to be worked out or dealt with, will be! Thanks for the prayers.. I know it is going to be all good no matter what happens and I still think my husband is a great man!
On another great note, NO more morning/afternoon/night sickness! It has finally faded away. It was only really bad for about 3 weeks. I am finally getting back to exercising and eating for that matter. I am noticing that my stomach is getting a little more round already. I am 9 weeks tomorrow.
Also if you can say a prayer for Samuel. His asthma is acting up a bit and Josh and I are in the midst of making a decision about how to treat it. The doctor wants us to put him on a steroid twice a day until pretty much April. I am not so comfortable with this at all. I am torn on what to do. Usually what I do is give him the nebulizer with the albuterol every 4-6 hours depending on what he needs, then I give him pulmicort (steroid) twice a day for a week, then once a day for another week, but I'm not sure that's going to work. So please pray for wisdom for Josh and myself. We are going to see the Pulminologist and discuss our options for him. Lets pray healing!!!

Today is the big day for my husband. He is going on his hopefully final interview with the FAA to go over his security check. In English, basically we will hopefully find out when this move to PA will be happening. I am so proud of my husband. Today I saw a look on his face that I haven't seen before. He looked truly proud of himself. I think he tends to not give himself enough credit about how much he does do. I mean really if you think about it, he was a single guy, going to school, doing his thing when we found out we were having Samuel. Instead of running away and not taking responsibility, he was the first to say " it is going to be ok. I will make sure of that. " So we got married and he continued on with his schooling, work, and taking care of a very pregnant wife. Then came the day Samuel was born, he was right there supporting me, holding my hand through the whole thing. As soon as he saw his son, pride just was all over his face. He was my lifesaver those first few weeks. He did all the diaper changing, getting me things I needed while I recovered. Just to go back to school and work after working so hard helping me. He has been a constant supporter financially of this family and has done an amazing job. Never once have we felt that we weren't going to make it financially. In the midst of all of this, he graduated with his Bachelors degree, became an officer in the military (huge accomplishment, lots of sacrifice!) and now is on his second baby. All of that hard work is finally starting to come through. It hasn't always been easy, as a matter of fact its been hard a lot of the time, but Josh took in in stride. Not always perfectly, but to the best of his ability. Josh I am so proud of you! Thanks for being the rock of the family. Love you!!!!!
I will keep you guys updated on what goes on today!!

This is so strange. I am really so sick compared to Samuel. I am also EXTREMELY tired. I'm not sure I remember so much the beginning with Samuel. But I do know that when I was first pregnant with Samuel I was at college, no real responsibility, no husband, haha...that's bad by the way... but I did plan a wedding in the first 4 months. But I was cooked for, cleaned for pretty much and I did light work. So I'm thinking that because things are so much different now, that is why I am a little sick. Who ever said morning sickness was just morning...that is garbage. It's all day sickness!! Who were they kidding.
I am so excited though, I went to the doctor on Monday and saw my little baby's heartbeat :-) I always kind of hold my breath until I see the heartbeat. It was so cute and it made my heart melt! Last time I went to the doctor I was so early in the pregnancy they couldn't even see the sac that the baby was in. This time the sac was huge! All you could see up in the right hand corner was this little dot beating so fast! What I love about my doctor also is that he gets so excited too. I saw him light up when he saw the heartbeat and started telling me all kinds of facts about a baby and it's heartbeat and he ended the conversation saying "Isn't it just amazing...That is your baby!" I got really excited. It brought me back to when I was pregnant with Samuel. I remember the first time I saw him right after he was born. I was astonished at the fact that this was my son. This is that little thing that was kicking me for all those months. I thank God for the opportunity that has given me as a woman to carry a precious little life inside of me...so special :-)

So, I'm not feeling so hot. I think I was sick maybe one time with Samuel, but it has been a couple days of...hmmm..should I eat? Doesn't feel like I should!! I am still excited and a little nervous. How do you do it with 2 kids? I was just thinking about how tired I get during the day. When I was pregnant with Samuel I could just rest and relax, now my schedule depends on whether Samuel takes a nap or not!! But I know God is in control, and I am thanking God that I am not throwing up, just feeling like it :-) So say a prayer for me when you get the thought! Love ya all!
