Midwife appt.

WEll I had my second appt today. I am 12 weeks or so my first ultrasound put me at . Everything went well, she said I am just so exhausted because of hormones , we tested my iron levels and they were fine. She did say it could be my thyroid but she must of forgot to get my blood work done to see if that was it. She could not find the heartbeat so we did a ultrasound . When we were in the first room I told her I had already felt the baby, I knew by textbook they say you are not feeling it but I KNOW. She said she agreed that moms that have other kids and that are in tune with their bodies do feel them earlier. So , anyway when we went in for the ultrasound the baby was just bouncing all around, hence why we could not find heartbeat. My oldest daughter went with me and she just ate it up. The baby looked like it was waving already. On this ultrasound the baby measured a couple of weeks behind but she said it could be the old machine and she doesn't know what she is doing that well so we shall see my next visit which is my anotomy visit. So in 6 weeks I will go back, I talked her into 6 weeks cause there is really no reason for me to come back in 4. Plus when I go back I want it to be for my ultrasound and hopefully find out what we were having. I said by the way the baby was moving oh gracious it is another boy. LOL! SO that was pretty much my visit. She gave me some meds for my allergies. 6 weeks will take forever!

OH my what was that,

I am not sure what it was but I think I got a full nights sleep last night. :) I don't remember when the last time I got that. It has been so hard getting up with the two and being so nauseated and exhausted with this pregnancy. That was a peasant surprise last night. Dh's work has slowed wayyyyyyyyy down so if you could all say a pray about that I would surely appreciate it. Well I gotta go start the kids with this school work, have a blessed day.

okay

I just have to say it I am soooooooooooooooo exhausted. I wake up exhausted and go to sleep that way. This pregnancy has not been so easy like my last couple. I feel really bad at night and in the mornings. I know this too shall pass. But I am just sooooo tired. Please pray I gain some strength back, I know through Jesus Christ nothing is impossible but here lately just getting up in the mornings seems impossible but I know I have to.
One of my friends when I was in school , her mother passed away yesterday morning from a battle with cancer. It makes me all the more realize how thankful I am to have my mom and how much I love her. I think sometimes we take our mama's for granted. So maybe as you read this you could call your mom, email her, write her a letter, go see her and give her a big ole' hug because we are not promised tommorrow. Daily I see how blessed I am and how I take it for granted. Another friend from church her mom is really struggling with breathing and they are doing surgery Monday and it is something that is very touch and go. Please pray for these ladies and their families.

Busy is all I can say

While I enjoy my children and husband they sure keep me busy. I have not been feeling well this pregnancy, keep thinking I am trying to get the stomache bug going around but I think it is just the pregnancy. But as you mothers know we do not get a time out. I do have a great husband though that does help out but still there is always so much to do. I almost got overwhelmed yesterday. I never seem to get my list completed of things I need to do anymore. We have one son who is a bit trying, okay okay he is alot trying sometimes and lately he has been really trying us. Not sure why, guess it could be because he is turning 12. But he is not doing well in school, does not want to listen unless it is history or science. He HATES math! He only does half or less of what he is suppose to do in chores,etc... you get the picture. It makes things so much harder and really really frustrating. He is the one we have so much trouble out of, he is the one that drains me daily. I LOVE him to pieces though and could not imagine my life without him. But his twin is the exact opposite(while he is sneaky with the things he does) he does do really well in school and really listens. He does his chores just like he is suppose to. Does exactly what you say when you say it, works really well with his father,etc.... IF all our children were like that oh how much easier it would be. But i suppose it would be boring as well. LOL! I know God has something huge planned for all our children and that is why they are made the way they are but sometimes it really really wears on me. sometimes I just want to scream and say I do not know what to do anymore.
GOd has really blessed us so much lately. With a new addition on the way I was wondering what we would do for another bed once the baby got out of the bassinet. I knew we would figure it out,so I was not stressing but I like everything to be just so and planned out if you know me so I was thinking about it. Well Saturday morning our neighbor called me and asked if I knew anyone who needed a crib for free. Keep in mind I have NEVER in my life talked this woman. We have waved in passing but that is it. As long as we have lived here we have never talked while passing, never called each other,etc... but she called and asked. I was like are you serious. And she said yeah. So I explained to her that we were expecting again and wondering what to do. She told me she had temporary custody of her grandchild and he would not sleep in it anymore she got him a twin bed to go beside her bed and so she wanted to give the crib away. I was just dumbfounded. Hubby went and picked it up yesterday. This crib looks brand new. So pretty! Had a mattress with it, so we do not have to worry about that. Gave us the bedding, crib sheet, tons of baby toys , a lamp,and some CUTE blankets. There is nobody that can make me believe God does not provide!!!!!!! He does and he is so good.
I hope everyone is doing better financially. My husband's business is slowly picking up and we are doing pretty good. I know some are still really hurting and you are in our prayers.

This pregnancy

is proving to be a bit hard. May have something to do with having a young baby and a toddler. I dunno. But I stay exhausted and do not want to do anything. I mean I am sooooooooo tired. Or it may have to do with the two still do not sleep well at night and then I have to get up teach 4 others school and tend to the house ,etc... Or it may be..... this is a girl!!!!! Oh how I hope so.

well.......

not much going on here. Just super tired and been super quesy and nauseated during the day. Usually not like that so maybe it is a girl this time :) . 4 boys and 2 girls, yep it is time for another girl. WE have had a sick on this week so that always puts a kink in everything. Dh's business is going well and he is staying busy so we thank the Lord for that and all he provides for us. Not nothing much new around here except I do not think I told you we got a puppy for our son's 2 yr birthday but he is scared of it , he is coming around though. I like having the puppy but hate some thing else to have to clean up after and something else to stay on the kids about. Just been staying busy. I hate I do not blog more often but really do not have the time and when I do sit down to blog I am so tired I cannot really think. But I just want to say how blessed I feel. The Lord has blessed my husband and I so much and to Him we give all the praise for it. Without him we would have nothing. I seem to forget that some days. Well I just thought I would update everyone. I think I am going to go and sit down and read some in my Duggar book while the kids are playing happily. Have a blessed day and leave me a line. I love to hear from those that read my post. I have people all the time tell me they come on here but they never leave me a message , so do just that.
