Yesterday we were informed that a kindergartener in our elementary school system passed away from H1N1. A 5-year-old little girl. I have a 5-year-old little girl! I feel helpless, fighting something I cannot see. This particuluar little girl had NO SYMPTOMS, which is even more frightening. What's a mother to do? I know-hand washing, cough in your arm, etc. But, where's peace of mind to be found?!
So we officially moved to New Mexico exactly a year ago. With the exception of twice, our 3 car garage has been full of anything but our vehicles! We've had a garage door opener, but had never programed it, as there was no need-until my dear husband cleaned it out. He changed my oil filter and programed my garage door opener so from now on, I can happily puch the little button and pull in. I have lived in several houses since moving out of my parents, but this is the 1st time to have my own garage door opener! I'm so thankful. For the husband who took the time and effort-the modern conveinence-and luxury-of the button that lifts up the door!
So, I am oficially 20 weeks pregnant. That's the half way mark-and I hope the 2nd half goes a little more smoothly! That also means that we have just about made it to viability age so that if the little guy HAD to be born, there's a good chance he'd survive. He still doesn't have a name. We haven't even narrowed it down. Chris calls him Elvis. lol. He's active, and the kids enjoy feeling him kick. I enjoy this part-the anticipation, the movement, etc. It's the joy of pregnancy.
I'm right in the middle of 'fall clothes.' There are literally HUNDREDS of clothes scattered around the living room as I sort, de-wrinkle and hang! We save the boy clothes and pass on the girls. After we buy a few more pants for Aubrey-we oficially need NOTHING. Yay! It's taken a few days, but almost complete. I still have to clean out drawers and get their rooms organized.
Church service was nice. My friend that lost her husband used to attend where we go before they moved back to Kansas. He sang in the band a nd a few members will drive down for the service. I don't think they'd appreciate a pregnant lady tagging along-that's a looooong drive! I will go down there in about a month or so, or have her come her for a break. It's nice to have the church family I do though-and I'm glad they're so supportive-of everyone. I couldn't as for more as far as our church goes. Destiny Center is amazing and I'm proud to be a part of it. I'm on the prayer team and we prayed for another family who had lost a loved one. They hadn't attended service together in 20+ years and I was honored to be a part of this new beginning for them.
The season premeire of 'Dexter' is tonight. It's been on the calender! I'll probably still be working on clothes-otherwise I'm hoping to create. Blessings. ~B.
I am blessed to have many praying for me during these difficult health issues; and God is listening. This morning, I feel better, and that's an accomplishment. I've even done a load of laundry!
We found out yesterday that this is a little boy. I kinda had a feeling.
The new items I ordered from Close to My Heart should arrive today. With any luck, I'll feel well enough to work!
Please keep those prayers coming my way for awhile. Each of your voices are a gift in my honor, restoring my spirit as well. Much thanks.
I've been REALLY sick lately. Last Tuesday I went in for an iv and fluids. Its really had me wuite down-hearted, but hopefully this new med will help a bit. I'm off of my fibro meds because they've been futile. Frustrating to be in so much pain. Today I had an ultrasound for screening. It's interesting how God works......if the baby had co-operated they wouldn't have gone internally, in which the discovered a large mass (tumor (NOT cancerous) outside my right ovary. At least some of my pain has a reason! It will be removed, the OB will decide just how tomorrow. I'm a little concerned -but just about recovery. My husband is THE BEST, but I don't want all of the extra burden on him of home stuff on account of me not being up to par-for whatever reason! They have little concern for the baby, and that's comforting. Thank you for thinking of me, and keeping me in your prayers. I appreciate it so VERY much and it's just what I need when I'm struggling myself. Yours in Christ-B.
