Babies!

I've met two other women online who are due this summer just like me! Babies!! I'm so glad my online gals are excited for me. It's rather sad that those around me here aren't. It's not that they're not happy. Rather than the cheers and hugs I received after announcing my pregnancy with Baby Girl, I get, "Oh." Just a simple, "Oh." It's gotten so bad that I don't even want to tell anyone else I'm pregnant, especially a certain person who only days before I found out I am pregnant told me she hoped God would hold off pregnancy for me. I guess I just don't understand, especially in the Christian community, the neutral to negative attitudes towards pregnancy and babies.

I'll admit, I wasn't aiming for pregnancy this early after giving birth, but every since we started "breeding re-enactors" hubby and I knew we'd take what we were given, when we were given them with such joy and thanksgiving.

I received a call today from Concerned Women for America. Apparently, Obama wants his first action as president to be passing into law the Pro-Choice Act which would completely make abortion in most, if not all forms Federally legal and even if Roe v. Wade were overturned, this law would make the overturning null and void. The law would also force all tax payers to somehow fund abortions. (They've already done that in the county just north of me. Tax payer money was used to pay for an inmate's abortion simply because she didn't want the baby. This went through despite an overwhelming majority of taxpayers and voters who were against this.)

They asked for a donation, but I don't do such things over the phone. I asked them to mail me information and assured them I'd post their website on my blog. Do your homework, contact your politicians, and pray fervently for the unborn in America.

I'm very thrilled for you! Just started reading your blog not too long ago and was so excited when I heard your news, even though I don't know you! I'm 29 weeks pregnant with my third boy and I've also gotten the horrible responses, everything from "You need to get your tubes tied" to "Oh" to "Are you going to try again for a girl?" I don't know what people are thinking, but babies are such a blessing. I wasn't planning on having another baby yet, but God had other plans and I'm so excited to hold my baby when he's born. Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it's the Lord's purpose that prevails - Prov. 19:21

When I was pregnant with number three, I was always told - "anoooother one?!" Then, with number four, it was "don't you think you have enough?"

Well, we're happy for you, you and your hubby and children are happy, and God is pleased.

Children are a BLESSING from the Lord, but some people just don't understand that.

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...

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. :)
