January Blahs - and how to beat them

Oh, what a "blah" month this is! It snows several times a week. It's cloudy most of the time. And now we're facing an arctic cold snap with sub-zero wind chills.

I'm beating the blahs by eating healthfully, exercising every morning (even if it's just marching in place while I watch the 6 am news), playing with the kiddos and going through the house with a fine tooth comb.

On to preggy news...I had a miscarriage scare last Friday. The bleeding was only spotty and stopped and by Saturday and Sunday I had stronger morning sickness and greater fatigue. However, today I don't feel pregnant, so now I'm back on the "am I going to miscarry" road. Only time will tell.

God bless you dear sister,excedingly and abundantly with his precious gift. I have been reading your blogs for sometime now. I have never left a comment before but this time I had to. I wanted to let you know that you have prayers coming to the lord from the great state of texas. Btw, great job on the blogs. I feel like you write for the real women and not the perfect women some blogs come across as. Thank you!!!

My thoughts and prayers are with you, Kate. I noticed that your ticker is down and I hope that it is not because you lost the baby.

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. :)
