One Year Ago...

I can't stop thinking of where I was in life one year ago. I had just found out that I wouldn't be returning to my job of 4 years the next year. I was devastated. I was scared and confused and angry and hurt. Fast forward one year. How am I feeling now? BLESSED! I knew God would use that terrible time in my life for His glory. I can honestly say that being let go was one of the best things that has happened to me.

God used that experience to grow me closer to Him, and for that I am eternally thankful! He has given me an experience that adds to my testimony and that I can share with others. I keep reflecting on the sermon from church on Sunday and how our pastor said that God teaches us best by letting us experience pain. It seems so crazy to us at the time, we may question why God puts us through something, or what we did to deserve it, and later on....maybe a month or so, or maybe even years later, we can see how His plan was worked out perfectly.

I am so thankful for where I have been placed at this time in my life. Never did I expect for things to work out the way they have.

I can't believe that I am married to a man who is so wonderful, he's my best friend, he can make me laugh no matter what kind of day I've had, he loves me unconditionally. I have the most adorable 2 year old little girl, who literally brightens each and every day. She has made the love in this house grow so much we are bursting at the seams! We have a new baby on the way! WOW!!! I can't believe I'm going to be a mommy AGAIN! I've got a wonderful job that is made up of some pretty amazing people who have become close friends and students who I love dearly. And best of all...a relationship with our Mighty God who continues to bless me and my family!

I pray that if you are experiencing a loss of any kind at this time in your life, that this may remind you of the Hope we have in the Lord!

I thought it was the end of the world one year ago...but I seriously can't imagine what my life would be like without that experience! Praises to the Lord!

My Lovely Baby Bump!

My belly is getting bigger and bigger each day. Even though I haven't gained any weight by the doctor's scale...it's definitely growing. There has been a request to see the baby bump, so here it is in all its glory! Enjoy! This is me today at 16 weeks.

The Week is Here!

We can't believe this is the week we will see our daughter. Some of you may be thinking, "What? How do you know? Your due date isn't even until next week!" Well, let me update those of you who may be thinking this. Last week, on Wednesday, we went to the doctor, hoping and praying that my body would be showing some progress towards having a baby. The doctor checked and informed us that the baby is still kinda high, and that I'm not 1 cm dilated, but I'm not 0 cm either. So she told us it was time to make a plan. Here's what she came up with. She said that if I am dilated 2-3 cm by this Wednesday, then she'll send me over to the hospital right then and start inducing me. But, if I'm not 2-3 cm then the following day, Thursday, she would do a c-section. She knew we were going to be on Fall Break and that we'd love to spend a couple of free extra days off with Ava so she said we could do it this week. She's going out of town on Fri...

January's Over.....What?!?

Where has the time gone? I can not believe January is just about over. Things have been crazy busy in our home, but still great nonetheless. Ava's getting so big! She's rolling over from back to belly and belly to back, she's playing with toys (her favorite is a monkey we named Milo), she's laughing and "talking" all the time; her personality is really starting to shine through. I can't believe our baby is going to be 4 months old in about a week. CRAZY! Other updates on our girl.....she's sleeping through the night, we were blessed that she started doing that at 6 weeks ( Babywise really helped with this!) She's getting rice cereal in two bottles a day during the week and she's also taking Prevacid . Both of these are because of her horrible reflux. They seem to be helping quite a bit. She spends the weekdays with our wonderful babysitter here at home and they love each other! In March she'll start going to daycare. I am a little nervous ...
