Through It All

I was feeling all down about still being pregnant.  I had a VERY difficult conversation with my doctor about choosing not to induce labor at this point.  He was trying to persuade me into inducing labor yesterday.  Am I uncomfortable and anxious?  YES!  I just want to wait a little bit longer.  I was angry and hurt about how a doctor who delivers babies could be so rude and arrogant.

And then I had a moment when I saw a light, a little glimpse from God and realized that I am blessed beyond belief.  I have carried this baby full term and I am able to have children…3.  This delivery may not happened the way I want but I have someone who is bigger than me and his plans are way better.  Will I still need to see this light more, this little reminder from God, most definitely because it is easy for me to forget that I always have God's grace and love in times of frustration, sorrow, and pain. And on this journey as a mother emotions that I never thought existed come from somewhere inside me.  I am so thankful for not having to take this journey alone.  I am so grateful for my earthly family and friends, especially my husband who supports and loves me through it all and I am most thankful for my heavenly father .

How my children are different?

So I had impetigo on my face(of all places), a very noticeable red oozing rash.

The kids both commented on this.  Here is what they said:

Korben:  That stuff on your face is yucky Mama.

Kenzie:  What happened to your face Mama?  Do you get hurt?  I will get a band aid and help your boo boo  feel better.  And I will give you a kiss too. Don't be sad Mama.

Still waiting...

40 weeks pregnant and still no baby.

Happy Day

No,the baby isn't here yet but....

We have made the decision to hire a landscaper to cut our grass.  Check "cut grass" off the list of things to do each week.  Oh how I love seeing our newly cut lawn each week that my husband didn't have to spend an afternoon doing.  And the landscaper is our neighbor so he hooked us up with a pretty sweet deal.

Korben:  Mama can you please clean the toilet it smells really bad and looks really dirty?

Kenzie:  Yeah, it is really stinky.

Me: Eventually.
