crumbs!!!

So it's seeming to be the point in my pregnancy where my uterus doesnt want to behave. Ive started having contractions more regularly than is comfortable for myself, my doctor and my family. Guess it means time to lay low and quit cleaning! But there lies the biggest problem- something that can only be describes as a CRAZY feeling- I get it quite often now... to clean! I have never been the cleaningest person ever before in my life but something about this pregnancy makes me feel ocd or obsessed or something. I dont like it, my husband feels like I undermine him I'm sure because I'm always going over what he has just done with a fine toothed comb and then making my adjustments. Crumbs! I hate crumbs on the counter or stuck on food in the sink or grime on the stove top or little food droppings on the floor around Graham's chair. All of it makes me spin out of control and into a frenzy of cleaning! And one thing leads to another and next thing i know ive organized a closet, swept, mopped, vaccuumed, dusted, wiped down couters and table tops etc. Which reminds me i had better tell my husband about cleaning the fridge because its probably going to be my next victim if i go nuts again... for now its "rest time" just what the doctor ordered- like really he insisted... or else!!!

this did not end well...

He was just trying to be cute and get a laugh outta me. Which he did, i snapped the pictured then in an instant the toliet seat slid down around his neck. It was loose enough it didnt choke him but tight enough there was no getting it off... I have to admit I was panicking, thinking of the 911 call... uhhh yes my 2 yr old son just got his toliet seat stuck on his head... daddy walked in for lunch to us both crying. He looked for big scissors to cut it off with no luck in finding any... the idea freaked me out anyway with as much as he was flailing around! It was then that i had a flash back to my dear little brother Travis, who always had his head stuck in something... BUTTER! Let's butter his head up and pull it out... yes pertroleum jelly or even vegetable oil might have been a better choice but we were desperate and in the moment and out came the stick of butter. He held really still and let us butter up his head and ears and forhead... he loves butter... and daddy was able to pull hard and get it off but not without bruising the tops of his poor ears!!! Graham quickly settled down and licked the butter off my shirt that he had rubbed on there in the struggle and holding and calming afterwards. He also gets his second bubble bath of the day to wash the butter out of his hair. Now we have a funny story to tell... ???

Power of Prayer

Power of Prayer
During today’s sermon on Acts 3:1-10, “First Healing”, I was overcome with such joyous tears in remembering a time I felt “healing” by prayer.
When I went into premature labor around 24 weeks in my first pregnancy and I was in the hospital being told there was a good chance I would be going to a bigger hospital to have a VERY premature baby I broke down. I was terrified and lost. I remember my doctor coming in and asking if he could say a prayer for us at one point and I began to think back to other experiences when someone prayed for us in a hospital. It usually meant a bad outcome was expected… So as you can imagine I was hesitant to allow him. It was the last thing I should have felt at that time. But we did let him pray for us, he stood around my hospital bed and held hands with all in the room and he asked for God for healing. That He might keep me and my baby safe and let this pregnancy come to term so that we would have a healthy little boy. In that instant I felt a strange calm. I might not have looked it on the outside but I felt it in my heart. No matter what, we were going to be ok. And we were. We made it to 37 weeks and I gave birth to the most amazing gift, a healthy, beautiful baby boy we named Charles Graham. I thank HIM every day for that healing.
Now that I am in the midst of my second pregnancy and had surgery as a precaution around 13 weeks when my Doctor asked again if he could pray for me I did not hesitate, in fact I wanted to yell “PLEASE DO!!!” He again asked for healing and that God would allow this surgery to enable me to have a healthy pregnancy and a full term baby again. I am doing great and I have all the Faith in God that in 3 short months I will have yet another beautiful, healthy blessing to hold in my arms.
Dr. Nord offered what he had. Even he as a doctor could not promise me healing, but he could pray that God would grant me that. Dr. Nord’s Mission Statement is “ Ministering the love of Christ through healthcare”, I’ve seen this hanging in his office many times over the past 8-10 years I’ve been a patient there and the reality of those words finally hit me today. And wouldn’t you know that’s exactly what I needed at that moment. Thank God for a Dr. Nord who has been such a blessing to our family just by being a good Christian and offering us the power of prayer.

Day 15: A Picture of something you want to do before you die


It'd take me a while to find a picture of me in my thinner days, so there isn't one here. Possibly when I have time to dig later I will post one. But that's what I would like for myself and my family is to be "healthy" again. Not asking for the size 0 I was in high school not even the 6 I wore in college. Just to be a healthier weight so that I can enjoy everyday with my amazing family.

Day 11: A picture of something you hate.

Truly it's a love/hate relationship. I'd love it if I had enough to share with everyone. I love it when there's enough to pay bills, But let's face it that rarely happens... SO I hate that it rules over our lives and that it's gone before it's here most months, and that it's soooooooo disgustingly dirty!

30 Day Blog Challenge: Day 1

Day 1: A picture of yourself with 10 facts

1. I'm a procrastinator. Always have been, most likely always will be. I married one too.

2. I'm getting to the uncomfortable stage in pregnancy. I told my husband the other night "If U do this to me again, I will divorce you". Up until then I was unsure or whether or not I wanted another. I can honestly say now I am probably done after Ms. BellaRose makes her appearance.

3. I can say with 99.9% certainty that my Baby Girl's name will be BellaRose. Spelled like that, with no space.

4. I am TERRIFIED to have a girl. My mom thinks it is the universes way of paying me back... I believe her, hence being TERRIFIED!

5. I feel like my heart could burst with love for my husband, baby boy, baby girl, and nieces and nephews! It's ridiculous how much one can LOVE!

6. I wish money didn't exist. It just makes life so difficult and depressing somedays. And if we must exist in a world that relies on it, why can't I be rich?

7. I wish I could give my Grandma the moon and the stars. But mostly a nice house and a cushy bank account for the rest of her years.

8. I wish I were better at Forgiving and Forgetting. And telling others how I feel good and bad. Sometimes the bad is easier for me. Why is that?

9. I want to be closer to Christ this year. It has been a goal of mine for quite sometime and I'm working towards it.

10. I really want to go on a vacation with my boys before we add a member of the family. Even if it's just a weekend in the Dells at a water park. It would be oh so nice.
