Hey everyone, yes I’m still here! Thank you so much for all of your comments and emails about cold remedies.
I feel like I’m not completely out of the woods yet, but it definitely hasn’t turned into a full-fledged sickness.
All that’s left is a slightly sore throat and major sleepiness.
Yay!! Hopefully crisis averted, thanks to all of you!
I mainly haven’t blogged b/c there is nothing AT ALL to say.
Same old, same old over here.
I’m looking forward to Thanksgiving next week, we will be going to my parents house.
Thanksgiving is J’s absolute favorite holiday, I know he hates being away.
I’m pretty sure he won’t even get a turkey dinner. =(
I’m thankful for the distraction of my parents house.
No use in sitting around thinking about how it COULD be.
I need to concentrate on how blessed I am. And I really AM.
Last Thanksgiving I was pregnant and miserable
(especially when I was warned by J’s grandfather not to eat all the food as I was walking through the buffet line) good times.
This Thanksgiving I have this sweet girl:
PP- Crate Paper, vintage sheet music
die cuts- Amy Butler/K and Co.
alpha- Making Memories
Can you believe how big she is getting?
Y’all she is the sweetest thing ever. Yes, maniacal too, but so so sweet.
People constantly stop me and say she is the happiest baby they’ve ever seen.
Those of you who have been reading my blog for a while might recall that
I was in complete shock when I found out I was pregnant with Sadie.
H was only a year old and we didn’t think we were quite ready for another baby.
I knew Jimmy’s deployment was coming up and oh man, was I scared.
I had so many conflicting emotions during my pregnancy.
I was so worried I wouldn’t know how to share my love, how to give Sadie what she would need.
But oh, does the Lord know what he is doing even when I don’t.
He gave us the happiest, loviest, funniest, sweetest baby right when we needed her.
She has been such a sweet gift and especially now, she always brightens my days.
A gentle reminder to me that I am not the one in charge.
I cannot plan out every little detail in my life.
Right now I’m having to think about that a lot,
I’m having some things happen to me health-wise that have made me try to analyze everything. Will we have more kids? Should we? When?
And Then I hear the Lord softly say “Relax. I have plans for you. You are not in charge. Just listen”.
So I do.
And He continues to bless me.
I hope you all have a beautiful weekend and that YOU are blessed beyond your heart’s desires.
