Hi! This is my first ever blog post and to be honest I am nervous. :) I don't know why, I just am. So here's a little more about me. I'm a mother of 2 and a half children. The baby is still in my tummy. As much as I would like him to be out. My oldest, Mikayla, will be 5 in July and my second, Sophia, will turn 2 in January. I love my kiddos. They keep me busy. I love to teach my oldest. I think it's truly a blessing that I am able to be a stay at home mom and I thank the Lord everyday for this opportunity to watch them grow up. That's not to say I don't have crazy days. I think we all do, but my children make my life interesting. I have the best hubby in the world. I know for a fact that the Lord sent him to me. He is such a blessing and has helped me grow so much as a person. I've truly enjoyed the journey we are on. We will be married for 7 years this August. I can't believe it's been that long. I don't think anyone thought we would get married when we were dating but God had some other plans. I'm so grateful for how the Lord really transformed our relationship and helped us to see the best in eachother.
Oh, and I'm a couponer! I've only been couponing for about a year but I am so grateful that I started. I can't tell you what a blessing it is to get what you need and not pay an arm and a leg for it. God has truly blessed us with the couponing. I'm not an extreme couponer like that show but I do get away with some great deals on the everyday type of things my family needs and uses. I'm sure I will be posting things about that sooner or later.
So, with all that being said. I am waiting for baby number 3. We finally have our son on the way and are truly excited to meet him. I was hoping to meet this little guy sooner but I think he's comfortable where he is. I will be exactly 40 weeks this coming Sunday. I feel every single week of this pregnancy in my body right now. I am praying this little guy won't try to outweigh his sister Sophia at birth. All I can say is that at this very moment I am doing my best to stay distracted. I really don't want to be induced but I have this creeping feeling that I might be in store for an induction. On top of being extremely pregnant I'm sick too. Yuck! I have my first ever cold sore on my face. And it's not one of those cold sores on your lip that you can kinda hide with chapstick. No, No, this is a doozie of a cold sore on my chin of all places. My doctor even cringed when she took a look. My vanity would love to hide out in the house until it is all gone but the Lord is really speaking to me about being grateful that it's not something worse. And I am grateful. But I still have moments of feeling like a leper. Oh well, I'll get over this. I know the Lord will help me through this and through the rest of this pregnancy.
I must say that I am so grateful at the end of this pregnancy. Yes, my pelvic bone and hips feel dislocated but I couldn't be happier at this point because the Lord has truly answered my prayers this pregnancy. I normally have morning sickness the entire length of my pregnancies but only 16 weeks with this one. I know to some 16 weeks is still a long time but trust me, it's a lot less time that the whole 40 weeks! AND, I prayed for a son and got him. I'm just in awe of that becauset the Lord did not have to grant that for me and I would have been just as happy with another little girl running around. But I am so happy for my husband. I'm so happy that he will have a little man to train up. I can't wait to see their interactions with one another. God is so good. I still tear up when I think about the 18 week ultrasound when we found out we were having a boy. I feel so blessed to be having another child period!
I'm really excited to start this blog and I hope whoever decides to read it can be blessed by it or learn something from it.
Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever.
Amen. (Jude 1: 24-45)
