I'm getting old -lol!

WEll not really but I am getting older and I can tell it with this pregnancy. My vericose veins are awful. I have had alot of trouble this time with my iron levels and dehydration( I think the dehydration is from peeing every 2 seconds lol) . I failed my 1 hour glucose test but I passed my 3 hour. Thank you Jesus, I did have a ton of people praying. The 3 hour test was horrid and made me feel awful. I am now a little over 31 weeks so moving right along. It has been super super busy around here.
I have a praise report, a couple in our neighborhood and their children went to church with us yesterday. That is such good news. This couple has been struggling to make it and they have kids from different marriages/relationships that have already been through so much. We are studing the Love Dare Study in our Sunday School class and they both said they really liked it and is what they need. So please pray they will be back.
I wanted to say to that if you are reading this blog to try to reach out to somebody today or this week. There are so many hurting in this world, in our communities sometimes we are so busy we do not even notice it. Very sad how hurting some are! Please pray for these people.
My dh's business has picked back up full force. While he is stressed I know he is thankful!! GOd has really blessed this business. We give him all the glory and honor. Hope things are going well for everyone who reads this. HOpe I can blog more later.

Wow

where is the summer going??? I just cannot keep up with everything and I would update but I am so tired right now I cannot think of all we have done. WE have had a busy summer but Ithink the kids would say it has been fun. They have had something pretty much going on all summer. I cannot believe that next month our baby will be 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And then the next month we will finally have a baby girl again. Such exciting times. I do get stressed but I do love being a mom of many, things are never dull around here that is for sure. The girls also start dance/baton/christian drama the first of august so things will not slow down either. Not sure how we will work that in when the new baby comes but we will figure it all out. Our 2 yr old is doing so good with potty training , although he did have a accident just a few minutes ago but he has been pretty easy. I think he might be pretty close by the time the baby gets here which would be wonderful. Dh's business is a bit slow right now but I am not gonna stress cause God has totally provided for us in the past and I know he will now and in the future. He will provide for our needs. God is good, isn't he?
We are doing the Love Dare bible study in our sunday school class and I am also doing the Love Dare book myself and it has made a difference on how I look at things all around. It is a wonderful thing. It brings your attention to things you would of never thought of.
Yes the world is falling apart and going to as my kids would put it down there very fast but I know in the end good will prevail and that in the end victory is God's. My faith is sometimes the only thing that gets me through somedays. I do not see how people make it without the Lord. My prayer is you know the Lord and accept him as your Savior. If not you can, he forgives all sins and he loves everyone very much. WE are all his children. Have a blessed night.

still here

Well we have Vacation Bible School this week, I helped in the nursery. That was sort of tiring getting home late all week. hubby has been busy building a huge mega deck for one of his customers so we are both just exhausted. But the kids had a super time at Bible School. Next week the two girls are going to a dance camp thing, they will be taught baton,dance,tumbling,and cheerleading. My youngest has been so wanted to get into something like this and we have been hesitate because some of the music and dance at some of these places but this is a Christian lady and suppose to be a christian atmosphere. We shall see.They are excited. Today we have my nephew's birthday party to go to. My hubby is working today to try to finish up that job but he said he probalby will not have it all finished. It has been super duper hot this week, I have felt so bad for him. Yesterday here the heat index was 102, today it is suppose to be worse. Pregnancy is going well , getting bigger every day. It has gone by so fast I guess because I stay so busy. I cannot believe I am already 26 weeks! I had said we would be schooling all summer this year also but we have been so busy we have hardly gotten any school in, oh well got some math in this past week and have been working with the smaller ones so that is the main thing. We are using Christian Liberty this year so I do not have to fret about what I am going to do, I am super excited about that. In Sunday School we are doing the Love Dare study and I just love it, I think every church's young adults should go through it. Every marriage can use a pick me up. Society today just does not see marriage as important and it saddens me to the core. Well I better go get started on some laundry. Have a blessed day.

busy times

I hardly get around to blogging anymore. I really miss reading blogs too but just not enough time in the day for that. This past weekend my wonderful mom and dad kept our kids so we could spend the weekend just my hubby and I. it was great!!! I did get to really missing the kids. My birthday is at the end of this month and I told me mom awhile back that I wanted her to do that for us for my birthday present so this was the weekend she could do it. then last night vacation bible school started at our church, I am helping out in the nursery. so needless to say this week will be really really busy. It starts at 6:00 and ends at 9:00! our computer crashed late last week so Friday night when we did not have the kids we went computer hunting and found a nice one, I hated to have to spend that money but we have to have a computer for dh's business. NOw I am just praying the guy we use to work on our computer before can get dh's business stuff off our hard drive and onto this computer. Pregnancy is going well, just getting super big. I do not like being pregnant in the summer. Baby girl is very very active. WEll that is about it. Better go.

what a Mother's Day

Well as I posted before I had a torn/seperated muscle at the beginning of the week. Then had tons of appts to go to. Then on Wendsday my youngest daughter got sick, then my 2 yr old son got it and then of course Friday I was not feeling well at all. I was suppose to go to a Mother Daughter tea with my mom, grandma, sister, and my 2 girls but of course I missed it due to me being sick and one of the kids still not feeling well. Then Sunday we were gonna go to church and after church go to my moms to grill out. Well we didn't make it there either cause I was still sick so I missed everything for MOther's day. :( then Sunday night our septic tank started backing up in the house so we had to spend the extra money to get it pumped out cause it was full. ugh!!!!!!!!! But on a bright note my husband got me a pretty necklace, anklet, and earrings for Mother's Day so not all was lost. And I do have so much to be thankful for, 6 pretty healthy kids. And a baby girl on the way that so far looks really healthy. My, the Lord has blessed us. All of the sickness and unexpected bills fade and other things come up but one thing I am trying to remember is God is good, and he is good all the time. He has been so good to me , even though I trully have never deserved it.

Things have been crazy around here!!!!

WEll we went on vacation to PIgeon Forge, Tenn. Took the kids to Dollywood, they had a blast and it was nice to get away. When we got back as many of you know we found out we are having ababy girl this time around. I am so excited!!!!!!!!!! Well then I started hurting on my left side, this past Sunday night we had Awana awards at our church and when we got home it was hurting something awful. I got up the next morning and almost could not get out of bed , felt like I could not breathe . I was so concerned for the baby, but I was like I just had a ultrasound less than a week ago. Anyhow to make a long story short and skip all the phone calling, midwife trying to figure out what she wanted me to do,etc... I went in and it turns out I had a torn/seperated muscle. It has been the most awful pain I have had in a long time. I think at times worse than labor. Of course I was suppose to be resting but the next day we has two appts. one at 1:00 and the other at 3:30, we did not get home from those till a little after 5:00. I was hurting something ferious by then but my wonderful sister and mom cooked us supper that night and brought it so I didn't have to worry about that. Praise God!!!!Then of course the next day I had to go grocery shopping cause we were out of everything. In the middle of shopping my youngest daughter says her tummy is hurting and starts crying , so I hurry through my shopping and sure enough we get home she is running a temp and eventually throws up!!!!!!!!! I am just like when it rains it pours. anyhow, she has been better today. Then to top it all off our 8 mth old has been super super whinny ,guess he is teething I dunno. He already has two teeth. But ya know as I was soaking in the nice warm tub last night I got to thinking in spite of if all I would NEVER want another life. I love my life and I feel I am doing what God made me to do and that is be mother and wife. IT may not be a famous job, it is a job we hardly ever get credit for but when I look at my children and see them smile or hear them say I love you, or my 2 yr old come up and ask for a hug it makes it all worth it!!!!!!! God is good, sometimes I think I forget that, in between the cleaning, homeschooling, correcting of attitudes,changing dirty diapers,kissing boo boo's,etc.....God is good and he is good all the time and he gave me these little ones. and they grow so fast!!!!!!! I want to start remembering to just enjoy it. I have wasted so much time with worry. I am just gonna start enjoying every moment.

We ARE Having

A GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) I am so excited. It will be nice to have a baby girl around again. I am so happy she is healthy, everything looked good at the ultrasound. Our God is a AWSOME God!!!! He has so blessed us.
I wanted to ask if everyone could please pray for my dad, he is having some health issues right now that are a bit worrisome. Please pray for him.
