Hooray, I have today off of work. I can't wait until I never have to work! haha. That would be nice. Anyway, Happy Monday!!!!!
I mean, really hit rock bottom today. I was at the gym the other day and working out and I saw my stomach and was thinking "sheesh all of this exercise and it won't go down." Then it dawned on me, I'm pregnant...oh ya..then its ok. Well I was already feeling a little sad after that, then I walked into the grocery store and saw a young girl about my age in a really cute outfit and her hair done really nice and I LOST IT. I burst into tears, turned to my husband and said "I LOOK OLD!! I JUST WANT TO BE AWAKE ENOUGH TO STRAIGHTEN MY HAIR!!!!!" I continued to cry without stopping for about 10 minutes. It's official....the hormones have kicked in....
BUT JOSH GOT A JOB AS AN ASSISTANT MANAGER!!!! Hooray!!!!! This is a great stepping stone while waiting for the job with the FAA. Thank the Lord. This is such a relief. We will now be able to get a 2 bedroom apartment and I won't have to work when this baby is born. THANK YOU JESUS!!! He is a great provider :-) I am proud of you Josh!!!!!
I have such fond memories of Elim. I must say I miss it quite a bit. I know that all of you pretty much that are on my blog are from Elim. Do you guys have any suggestions for schools that take Elim credits? I did the two years there and I am looking to go back to school this January. The only problem is I would basically have to start from scratch with the schools here because Elim credits are not relevant to the degree I am going for. I don't care what school I get an associates from, I care about what school I get a bachelors from. So any suggestions would be great!
I am going apple picking hopefully soon with Samuel. He is getting better, but he is not quite there yet. Poor kid..Hope he's better soon :-(

Saw the new baby again today. Looks like a big round blob. Strong heartbeat, measures perfectly, and is doing wonderful. 10 weeks and counting!!! Did anyone watch that show 17 kids and counting? hmmm.... Interesting...anyway, I love my new baby already. Looks smart (really because the head is about 10 times the size of its body at this point..haha.. ) Hope everyone is great!!!
So my three worst fears are realized.....
1.) Samuel is really sick with pneumonia
2.) I have a mouse in my apartment (MY BIGGEST BIGGEST FEAR!)
3.) All while Josh is gone for the weekend....
Ok God, what is the point?
So as ironic as it is, I have this strange peace about me. Last night it all started. Josh went to drill (he goes once a month with the National Guard) thinking that he was coming home last night and leaving today for the day. Wrong. He was leaving last night, called me in a panic and said "I HAVE A HUGE PROBLEM, YOU HAVE TO PACK A BAG I"M LEAVING IN A HALF HOUR!" So I race all of his stuff to him just as the bus is pulling out....He's going to be gone until Sunday. Then, fear number 2. I go to bed like a responsible adult at around 10:30. I get a phone call from my husband at midnight. I get up to talk to him because everything was so rushed. Right as I get off the phone with him what do I see? Oh ya...A little black mouse running out of my bedroom. My first instinct? Run like hell to a chair. So I did just that, called my husband back in a panic and what did he do? Anything a typical mean male would do. Laugh hysterical. "Your on your own babe. Sorry." So I called my brother and after a few mouse jokes about nibbling at my feet, asking for it to cook for me, la la, I finally got my brother, my sister, and her boyfriend over to try and kill the mouse. Guess what happened? Nothing. I slept at the house by myself, dreaming of the mouse, and when I wasn't sleeping, I was hearing it run in and out of my bedroom. It is a miracle I am alive today. No one understands my fear of this little mouse.
So then, comes Samuel. He has been sick with asthma for about 2 weeks now. He is on pulmacort, xopanex, pregnisone, and cingulair. What does that add up to? HYPER. Anyway, he wasn't getting better so I kept bringing him back to the doctor. Nothing. So tonight I saw he was really delirious and just didn't look right. So I brought him to the hospital. What did they find? Pnemeunia and an ear infection. But thank God I have been treating him for the asthma because it could have had long term effects on him had I not been treating him. Thank God! He is finally of the pregnisone which is a really serious steroid, but he's still really being drugged up. Please pray for his healing. I now have to add an anti-biotic to the mix. My poor baby.
So there is my weekend so far. So what is God doing? I prayed a prayer that God would help me to trust him in every situation. I would like to personally thank God for bringing up EVERY SINGLE situation he could think of. But, you win God...I trust you!!

Thanks Sarah!! I got it! SOOOO fatigued lately. Holy cow. I forgot this part of pregnancy I guess. Everything is going good here, God is still faithful and meeting our needs. Nothing really new to blog about. Oh ya, doctors appointment on Monday! Yay!! I get to see my baby :-) I'll let you know how it goes!
