one deep breath...finally. 

it has been a long time since i sat down to update my blog.  i  missed blogging and this sweet community....but must admit...i have had little inspiration lately.  i cannot explain it...but i do believe they call it 'burn out'.

i try to 'NOT' be a complainer, so i just sit tight, and ask God to put His arm around my shoulder and His hand over my mouth...sometimes i go quiet for quite a while...which is probably why i haven't said much....i haven't really had much to say......and you know the saying,

"if you haven't got anything ' nice ' to say, don't say anthing at all".

the good news:  God has heard our prayers.  and He has blessed us with a new house!  we are moving April first!  it is a great house with more closets and a garage, and a bathtub (thank you GOD for that! been bathing baby for 2 yrs now in a 'blow up tub' in a tiny shower". lol.

we will have a real fire place!  the kind you put real wood into and sit near on chilly mornings drinking hot cocoa!

we will have a garage to park our car in and store stuff, and a back yard for the kids to play in!!!

also... a great breakfast nook atop a tile floor!!  no longer will i have to worry about spaghetti in the carpet!

i am just so happy.  these little things most take for granted, (as i once did too) are all ours again soon.

and most importantly, i saw baby yesterday on the ultra sound.  i am 15 weeks along and feeling more human again.  i was given the heave ho from bedrest (3 months of it!)  and told to resume a 'normal' life once again!  i took my last progesterone 2 nights ago and am feeling a bit more confident about the future with our new baby.

although it is too early to tell....the u/s tech said she thinks it looks like a girl at this stage....and is about 80% certain.  funny thing because i really thought this was a boy!  either way...i am so deeply in love with this baby already that if it came out a monkey i would praise GOD anyway!

Thanks for stopping by my blog. Your writing about what you are going thru with this pregnancy touched my heart. My MIL had a hard time carrying a baby to term -- my DH is her only "bio" child, and when I think about God's divine plan, I am just humbled and praise Him. My heart just welled up for you! Praying for your and the baby's health. Many blessings to you!

On EVERYTHING. I'm so happy for you. I have several things I'd like to change about my house, too, and it sure is fun to imagine actually *doing* them! You'll love the tile floors.

So great to hear that baby is well. I can't imagine being on bedrest for 3 months--yikes! Wonder how that would work around here? Anyway, I'm glad things are going well!

Thank you so much for sharing your comment about asking God to put his arm around your shoulder and His hand over your mouth. And that sometimes you are silent for a while. Wow, I really needed to read that today. There have been times that I was discouraged and SO WISHED that I had kept my mouth shut. For no matter how many times you hear it, it is true. If you can't say anything nice, you really shouldn't say anything at all. I need to be reminded of that during the times of discouragement.

Gob bless you during your pregnancy and your move.

Cathy, Candace's mom, has sent out another EMERGENCY Prayer Request for Candace. (She also posted one in the middle of the night that Janne informed some of us of, as things are not going well). Please keep this little girl in fervent prayer.

Please remember the family of Missey who are having her funeral this morning. I will be having a post honoring Missey through "A Mother's T.R.E.K." and will keep you posted on that as well.

In Him,
Amy
