Moving again....maybe

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. My camera cord is missing so I can't upload pictures onto the computer right now. There are some really cute ones from Ty's birthday party that I can't wait to share.

So, since I don't have pictures, I figured just a general update would be good. Pregnancy is going well. I had very minimal morning sickness compared to the other two and that is all gone now. I feel pretty good. I just started the 2nd trimester and have gained 1 lb so far.

There is a new stress in our life however. As of today, the house we are living in is for sale. Aside from not knowing where we will be living in the next few months, now I also have to deal with strangers coming through to see the house at all hours of the day and into the evening. We are suppose to be given 1 hour notice before someone shows up, but there is a lock box with a key out front so if we aren't home, they get to just walk in and show themselves around. We are going to go through all our valuables and lock them in the safe tonight. We were also warned that just because we are suppose to have an hour notice, doesn't mean we will actually get it. Some Realtors will just show up expecting to show the house. Now I'm afraid of people just walking in on me and the kids because they have access to a key. This house was for sale last year and sat on the market for 6 months without selling. On one hand, I'm hoping that happens again so we have time to save up to move, on the other hand, I'd love to move now so I don't have to worry about people walking through my home all the time. Unfortunately, after putting $1000 into the car a couple weeks ago, we don't have the funds to just move right now. That and we had such a great deal here that moving will add $700 to $1000 to our monthly bills. Ugh. This is not stress that I needed to deal with while pregnant!

Oh, man! That happened to us. Right after Asher was born, they put our duplex on the market. Our neighbors were told they had to get out then, but we had another month on our lease. But we knew what was coming. And our neighbor was pregnant and on bed-rest. We were just lucky we got this ministry house. I'll be praying for you! Oh, and later we found out that our old place is back to being rented (never sold I think) for a higher cost (we also knew they were going to increase rent for the remainder of our time there. So we got out as soon as we could.) I hate it when things like that happen!

Almost a decade!

 I have not posted anything on this blog in about 9 years!  The kids are growing up, and last night, as teenagers, Kezzy came across this blog.  “Mom!!! You have a blog?  Can I read it?”  Since then, she and Titus have been reading everything on here, reminiscing about how cute they were when they were little.  It got me thinking that maybe I should resurrect this old blog!  I have another child now (Theo) who was never even mentioned in any previous posts, and very little is on here about Annabelle and Philemon!  I’ll have to think about what I want to write about, now that the kids are older.  In the mean time, here is a new picture of my now much more grown up children.  This picture is of me and the kids on Mothers Day.

Raquelle is here!

Raquelle Elizabeth was born Sunday March 5th at 5:49 AM after 41 hours of labor! I was sent home from the hospital 3 times Friday and Saturday because I was not making very fast Progress. Contractions started out 3 min apart Friday at noon and got really strong by about 11 am on Saturday. I could no longer stand the pain so they had to keep me this time. By 4 pm I was at 3.5 cm and Contractions were 2 to 3 min apart, and so strong I was shaking uncontrolably through them. So I begged for an epi (gave up on going natural after the first 28 hours). The epi was the most traumatic part of the whole thing. As they were putting it in, my blood pressure dropped dangerously low and they had to rip it out and give me two shots of epinephrin to raise it back up and then start over. The 2nd try, they put the needle in too deep and punctured the fluid behind the epidural cavity, which caused the fluid between my brain and spinal cord to start leaking. This causes horrible migrain headaches that th...

The Dream Giver

I haven't written in a while, but as I start to toy with the idea of moving away from facebook, I find myself toying with the idea of reactivating this old blog.  I'm not sure what direction it will take.  Perhaps an overview of things I am learning?  Perhaps cute stories about the kids and every day life?  Maybe an occasional allergy friendly recipe... I don't know.  For now, I am a firm believer in life long learning and mentorship.  I strive to discipline my brain and my personal development daily with books I read, what I watch or listen to, Bible studies, and people I hang out with.  I just finished reading the book "The Dream Giver" by Bruce Wilkinson, the author of "The Prayer of Jabez."  I was surprised at how much I really enjoyed this  book! A short overview.  "The Dream Giver" is about a "nobody" named "Ordinary" who lives in the land of "familiar."  Every day, he wakes up and goes to the same job.  ...
