General Mood: feeling tired, due to busy schedule.


Ok so food has not been going good this past week. I have been eating out. Mostly because we have been soooo extraordinarily busy. I mean extremely busy. But I have been trying to eat in moderation when eating out.

Meaning for lunch I will have soup and salad, or soup and a half sandwich.
Snack is normally an apple with almond butter, second snack towards the end of the work day is peanut butter crackers, and I drink a ton and I do mean a ton of water.

There are some things that are the same this pregnancy, I am remember around week 7 I started to get hungry and have some nausea. This pregnancy is the same. I need a snack at least every 2.5 hours or I start to feel nauseated. I have to make sure my meals are not to big because if I eat to much I feel like sick.

Other than that this pregnancy has been so much smoother thus far than my Layna Bug. I threw up with her all day every day from 6.5 weeks to week 13. I was also a lil more tired with her. This lil one I am tired, and do have days of exhaustion but it isn't to the extent i remember with her. But that may be because your first pregnancy is so new and every memory of it seems exaggerated. One thing I do now that I did then is pray. I pray over this child all day every day. And I have a very special prayer time in the morning.

During my morning prayer. I pray for this family, I pray for this baby, I pray that the Lord's peace, love, grace and mercy dwell in this family from now to the tenth generation. My prayers encompass my life, so I pray for work, to be a better wife and mama, to really hear the Lord speak to me through the holy spirit and walk by faith and not by sight. It is the best time of the morning. I feel like praying in the morning helps me, helps this family and keeps me in lock step with the Lord.

I marvel at the fact that I conceived. Conceived without medical intervention, conceived a healthy happy baby..When every doctor i went to outside of Dr. Miller was like um lets give you these unbelievably strong hormones etc etc.  I just thank God. He heard my cry and answered my prayers. Now i am not saying that medicine does not have its place because had i not conceived we were planning on going to the fertility center at the beginning of the year but Hubby was not really for that and i was scared, but more scared of not trying. I just thank God that when I prayed to try one more time without any doctors He heard me and delivered me.

Just a side note, last night Hubbin and I were chillin and watching late night videos ran across a couple of rap and rock video's. I was like oh my God are our kids watching these folks, pass of this muck as music. One rapper in his video actually had a quick scene where he turned into the devil, makeup, horns and all. Another video the singer her visuals were so out there and they felt just wrong. I firmly believe that we need to monitor diligently what our children watch and listen to. I believe in art for art sake, but only to the extent that it doesn't border on devilish unbelievably offensive type of behavior and images. I think I am just changing as a person. That is all for now LOL cause i am sleepy.

Battle Cry:
All your children will be taught by the LORD, and great will be their peace.
