Big News...

I am aware that I have not written a blog post in over a month, but this last month has been quite crazy! I guess almost two months ago, I knew that something was different. After a quick test, my suspicions were correct when the test came back positive. Needless to say, Jude wants you to know that:


In case you can't read that, YES, he is going to be a big brother! We were shocked and thrilled all at the same time! I am 12 weeks today and I am due December 2nd. It is hard to believe that by Christmas, I will have two babies!!

This go round has turned out to be quite difficult. I have been very sick! My weight has been on the steady decline. I have been going to the doctor every week. Once I lost 6lbs in two weeks and ended up having to go to the hospital to get an IV. I have tried different medicines and nothing is seeming to work. Thankfully, my mom is off of work now, and helps tremendously with Jude! I have have had two ultrasounds and everything with the baby looks great!

We are so excited and thankful to have another little life growing inside me! We are praying for a healthy baby and a healthy momma! Hopefully, since I am almost through the 1st trimester, things will start looking better for my eating habits! :)

Winter

Image
Winter: cold, dark, long, dreary, depressing, dead. That pretty much sums up my feelings of winter being a Florida girl.  I hate winter. Everything is dead; the grass, the trees (at least the leaves on the trees), the flowers and this winter was no different. It started out just like stated above and then turned into a blizzard. Things were happening and I didn't understand why. My life had entered what seemed to be an eternal winter state. But I had forgotten that winter was only a season and that this wasn't going to last forever. There was no spring in sight for me. Thankfully God swept in the way he does and gently reminded me that this is all part of his plan. He spoke the world into existence, he designed the seasons, and He did it all for His glory. God wanted to teach me something else this winter. He wanted to show me that it's all about Him.  You see, we did have a long cold winter here in NC and right when we thought it was almost over, we were hit ...

Turning My Grief into Gratitude

To give you the quick recap on my life in the past five years: I moved to North Carolina for college, met and married Michael, and wanted to start a family. After this, things went quickly from really good, to really bad. I was able to get pregnant right away. I lost the baby . I was able to get pregnant again the very next month. Again I lost the baby . Even though a year has gone by, typing the words, I lost the baby, makes me want to vomit. Admitting that I now have two children that have died seems unreal. At the time, I felt like I had to regain composure quickly. I was teaching sixth grade and my life seemed like it was moving on a rollercoaster. But now that I am a stay at home mom, I feel like I think about them more often. What would they have looked like? Were they a boy or a girl? Would I have had twins? And I am left with no answers. It seems like after over a year of grieving, God has finally brought light to this area in my life. Yes, I lost two pregnancies and that...

Being Completely Satisfied

As I reflect on the past and even examine my life now, I often find that I become consumed with whatever is going on in my life at that time. I will focus all of my thoughts and attention to this matter until it is resolved. To give you a few examples, at one point in my life, all I wanted was to be out of my parents house, then it was that I just waned to graduate high school, next I wanted to graduate college, after that I could not wait to get engaged, that turned into I couldn't wait to get married, then if I could just have children everything would be fine. I thought all of these were life and death matters at that time. If I could only get that 'one' thing in my life, I would be happy and satisfied. But when I lie awake at night for hours, not able to sleep because I am thinking about what I want my future house to be like, something is wrong . The fact is that when I get that 'one' thing, something else will soon repl...
