Count down to due date

Wow, I hadn't realized so much time had passed since I last blogged.  I thought moving the office would allow me to have more of a chance to keep current on my blog. 

I am now 33 weeks pregnant.  Everything is going just fine.  I have had two baby showers.  They were such a blessing to receive some of the fun stuff I was not planning on buying.   God has richly blessed us with free stuff from family.  This stuff was the BIG stuff - car seat, crib, high chair, etc.  I am always amazed at how God provides for us.  

We received the full results on Jessica and they were not what I was expecting.  I have spent the last couple of months trying to pinpoint what exactly is wrong.  The state has labeled her learning disabled with low IQ.  I have come to realize that is so general and does not help when trying to plan her education.  I narrowed it down to a processing disorder with maybe some dsylexic.  I started giving her Omega 3's and putting walnuts and flax seed in all of our baked goods.  This seems to help with some of her reading problems.  I know it is not a cure all but anything that will help a little is better than nothing in my book.  I have been working on writing out goals for her this year.  Maybe we will see improvement in her low areas now that I know what is wrong and can change my teaching style to fit her needs. 

So often I wonder what happened that caused her to be this way.  Was it the overdose of pain killers that the hospital gave me when I was in labor?  Or was the stress of moving far away from family during my pregnancy?  When these questions start running through my head I remind myself that God is ultimately in control and he has a plan and purpose for her.
