Some random thoughts.

I have 4 weeks left until my due date, but we realize she could come sooner and she could come later. I had a doctors appointment on Monday and when the doctor told Carl and I that I'm not yet dilating (which is normal) Carl later told me he wanted to ask the doctor to just check again...lol. I think he's anticipating this child a little more than me :)

We're praying that she'll come right when she is supposed to, probably like a day after all our insurance stuff works out...God has impeccable timing like that and I think he'll do it. But he is God and I am not so alas i have just come to the conclusion to trust him no matter what.

The wind is really blowing around here right now...it's making me a little nervous actually...but I'll be okay. I'm such a scaredy cat when it comes to storms, I've never really been able to sleep through them only a few times as a kid did i sleep through them. Now it's like I'm alive, alert, and awake all the time lol...

God provided us with a gift card this week for a breast pump, we're really happy about that I was ready to make with out one...but I'm glad that I'll have it just in case :)

Trying to make good use of my time at home. I've been doing my bible study and praying a lot. Mostly praying for strength to encourage my husband as he has really long days and is feeling "thin" as he puts it right now.

One way i try to encourage him by is just by keeping a clean house for him...which is big for me because i really hate cleaning. But when i asked him if it really makes a difference to him he put it into a new perspective. I never knew how happy it makes a man to come home after a long day and find a clean organized house.

The nice thing about my husband though is he doesn't expect miracles out of me and he knows that some days i have more energy than others but even if one day all i do is make the bed for him it puts a smile on his face....that makes me feel significant and important.

I've been having horrible heartburn at night. Like not being able to sleep kind of heartburn, so i asked the doctor if it was okay to take more than 8 tablets of Malox a day...he laughed and said of course but suggested i also try some stronger Anti-Acid.

Funny thing happened Sunday morning. I woke up and i started to wake Carl gently by rubbing his back...this did not last for long though because the most painful leg cramp set in. Well, lets just say my gently rubbing turned into severely hitting and yelling at him to get up and help me...lol. The poor man thought i was going into labor the way i was yelling at him...lol and it took him about 5 minutes to figure out how to help me.

I'm on my way to another ladies bible study, I'll let you know tomorrow what i've learned and how it went. I may even blog about the snacks provided...i'm loving snacks right now...lol. I know lame right?
