Trusting in more than chicken and other subjects

Now that I'm pregnant, hubby went to the big boss about a promotion. Big boss said no. No promotion, no raise. This puts us in a slight financial burden for when baby arrives. So, now I have to trust God for more than just chicken. He knows our situation. He knows how hubby feels. He knows what our bills look like.

So, I won't worry, but I'm a believer in meeting God half way. In 3 months time, it'll be time for me to review our budget and add the baby onto the budget. We don't have room, but the Lord always provides one way or the other. We need to look at where to cut back or cut out.

Who knows? Perhaps by that time hubby will be offered a promotion anyway?

In other news, I love my composter. I was given one by my neighbors and finally set it up earlier this week. Every day, I've been adding whatever I can to it. Coffee grounds, tea, egg shells, fruit and veggie matter.... It has also cut back on the amount of garbage I'm leaving at the curb. It'll also save money in that I won't have to buy compost later. I get my manure for free from the farm next door. They have plenty to spare.

Today is a busy day. Due to the packed nature of this weekend, I'm switching my Friday chores to today. Thursday will be prep for the weekend. Today: laundry, bathroom, floors, dusting, tidy up, bills, etc.

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. :)
