How God Blesses and a Happy Hubby

As you may have read in a recent previous post, I ran out of grocery money and thus started to get a low in the food supplies. So, I treated it as a challenge to make meals with what I have. (Yes, I did go grocery shopping today to take advantage of some great sales, but I used May's grocery money and can't use the groceries until May).

Well, I had one chicken breast in the freezer. I needed two to make my chicken strata. I just figured I could still make the strata, but just be slim in the chicken department. Well, God feeds His sparrows, doesn't he? Hubby announced that he was going to visit a co-worker of his who was having a party. I bid him a good time. He returned later with half a chicken! I had MORE than enough chicken for the strata! Hubby had cold chicken for lunch too. He likes that.

So, today we had chicken strata for dinner. Yesterday was chili. Tomorrow is beef barley stew and Thursday is stroganoff. Friday, Saturday and Sunday, we're eating with friends. Monday will probably just be a simple soup.

Hubby commissioned me to get some pebbles to make a path from the driveway to the breezeway. Today I set to work to do just that. Two trips to Lowes and a little work, the path is set and hubby was thrilled when he got home! It looks so much better and will certainly cut down on the mud tracked into the house. It should also help with drainage in that area.

Here's one thing that boggles my mind.....
Sure, I'm pregnant, but it'll be a while before I even start to show. So, why am I already getting stains on the stomach of my shirts? Must be that increase in clumsiness that I experience while pregnant. :b

*LOL*!!!! I've had that ever since I was pregnant (my daughter's almost two now!)

Maybe because my stomach never went completely back to the way it was before? My shirts still stain there.... everytime!!

She's Here!

Our daughter was born at 7:17 pm, May 27th after only 2 1/2 hours of labor and 10 minutes of pushing! She weighed in at 6lbs 5 ounces and measured at 19 inches long....another little peanut! It was all-natural, baby! No induction, no pitocin, no pain relievers, no episiotomy! All prayers have been answered by the Lord except for her nursing ability. She's not a very good nurser, though she was a champ just after she was born. She's getting better, though and I continue in prayer that she improves. I pray that when my milk comes in, she'll be a great nurser. I'm also in prayer about her jaundice. Right now, it's not bad at all, but I learned with Bubby how quickly that can change, especially with her not being a good nurser. The picture above was taken yesterday. That's me and my son and daughter. Poor hubby's not in the picture because he wasn't at the hospital at that time. He was there earlier, but I sent him home to get some rest and some ...

Blessing, Wisdom, Modesty, Feminine Influences

My wonderful husband bought me a new vacuum! My old one threw sparks out at me, so I refused to run it for fear of my life. So, hubby bought me a new vacuum and it's wonderful! It even has a self-cleaning duster attachment! Hubby appreciates the hepa filter. I enjoy having a vacuum that actually does it's job. Oh, and my other favorite attachment is the special adjustable upholstery and stairs doo-hickey with it's own rotating brush. It's great for dog hair. I recently had my 4 impacted wisdom teeth removed. Hubby teased me that I was going to lose my wisdom, but I actually gained some! While I was in dreadful pain and recovering, I had to eat VERY carefully. During this time I learned that: 1. I eat when I'm not hungry...not a good habit to get into. 2. I eat too fast and don't savor my food. Therefore, I tend to eat a bit more so as to enjoy the flavor. 3. I put food in my mouth when I'm still chewing the first portion I put in. Blech...what a...

1 Week

Baby Boy is one week old today! He's doing so well and we are all smitten with him. I am amazed at his growth and progress in just 1 week! Baby Boy is a quiet lad who only cries when it is necessary (at least so far). During his wakeful times, he enjoys staring at patterns or his mommy. He's great at turning his head to look around and listens intently when I sing. He's not the strongest feeder, yet and prefers multiple quick snacks rather than spaced out dinners. His umbilical cord stump is almost ready to fall off. He likes to be swaddled and loves being held. So much so that when I do hold him, he falls asleep almost instantly, but if I put him down, he wakes up. Not all the time, though. :)
