Wow, so I guess blogging everyday doesn't really work for me! LOL.

Everything with the pregnancy is going well. I am still sick and super tired. BUT I am in my 13th week today and that is a good sign. Hopefully I am about over the hump, and I will actually be able to get a little more done. My resolution for a clean house has fallen by the wayside as some mornings I can't bring myself to get out of bed until 9:30. I know some of you are jealous, but I throw up everyday and you don't so if you wanna switch....

Michial is doing great in school. We are working on a project about his ancestors. He is making a giant poster board with pictures and cut outs, stickers and glitter glue! I will post a picture of the final project. These sort of projects seem like more work for the parents, but luckily he has found some interesting things out about our ancestors.

Thats about it from here. Have a great weekend everyone

The New Year

So, this year my resolutions are to keep a clean house (as best I know how), to spend more time with Michial and then to engage my spirituality and relationship with Christ. So far I have been doing really well!

Cleaning my house, is never fun. It seems like every time I turn around there is something else that even though was cleaned a few weeks ago, looks as though it hasn't been cleaned in 4 years! I started on monday and only have two things left to do. Hallelujah! It is so nice to go to bed knowing that if there was an emergency in the middle of the night, I wouldn't break my leg in that emergency on the way to get help b/c there was too much clutter on my floor! So my goal is just to have one cleaning chore per day and I think that will work out.

I joined women's Bible study at church for Tues mornings, and I am hoping to get into the study titled Completely His. A friend of mine is joining me so I am excited. Mike and I also decided to join a growth group at our church on Thursday nights, which will really give us a set night to focus on us and our walk with God.

And as for Michial, we have family night on Friday's, and we talk alot more about what went on at school each day. He started basketball this week and he is excited to start a sport he has never played before.

So here's to a bright 2009!

Well, most of you know that I found out that I am pregnant again. I am 2 1/2 months now. And each day is still as nerve racking as the one before. It doesn't get any easier coming back from the tragic loss of a baby. Sometimes I feel guilty because it's hard to be as excited about this baby knowing there is still risk. Deep down inside I know that my life and my baby's life is all in the will of God, but sometimes that isn't as comforting as I know it should be. So if you happen to remember, prayers are always much appreciated. For comfort and peace and less anxiety.

As far as how I've been feeling...not so great! I have mostly night sickness that begins around 4pm and tends to last until I go to bed which these days has been around 7:30. I don't really throw up, just dry heave but I am extremely nauseous. The Dr. has given me some anti-nausea medication and if I take that then I am good for a few hours, but the second that wears off, it's back. Recently I have started to get some pretty knarly headaches, and today actually broke down and took an excedrin migraine pill, because tylenol just wasn't working...I had the headache for 2 1/2 days...not fun!

Michial still doesn't know yet, and we would like to try and wait until the baby starts to move. I am trying to wait as long as possible to protect his heart in the case that something does happen.

I have a lot of New Year's resolutions this year. One of which is NOT to necessarily loose weight (that will come the end of July!) although as soon as Michial goes back to school from break, I would like to go walking each day. My prayer for this year is for those who have lost their jobs to find prosperous new ones, to spend more "quality" time with Michial, to do my best to keep my home organized and a place full of love and peace, and to spend more time each day with God. And one more...to potty train my dog!

I will try and keep this up to date more often...not sure if anyone even reads it...but I think it will be a good journal for me to keep track of my thoughts.
