Ten Weeks To Go!!!

Wow...I'm 30 weeks today. It's flown by. It's been a very easy pregnancy, just like with Carly Beth. I'm having serious insomnia but I'm not complaining. Total weight gain is 9.2 lbs...I'm 1.2 lbs heavier than when I was 30 weeks with CB, but I'm still very pleased!

I'm hoping and planning to do so many things differently this time...God has really opened my eyes to a lot since the last time I was here. I know we will endure criticism but we are confident in the choices for our family.

God has done an amazing work in my husband. This summer we will be growing vegetables for the farmers market and taking honey from our three hives. One day, our family will be working together on our own little farm, bringing healthy organics to our community and changing people's opinions about food. This is turning into a passion for us. And I'll be honest...not having my husband leave for work every day definitely will out weigh the work we'll be taking on as a family.

We are excited to meet the new baby. We aren't sure if it's a boy or girl...I'm thinking boy but I could be wrong. I am so grateful for this miracle...I wasn't sure that we would get here again after losing two babies. God is good to us and thankfully He healed our broken hearts.

I Turned 30...and Life Went On

I've been 30 for 11 days. Thankfully, I'm not crying about it anymore. Actually, I was upset the days leading up to my birthday...I'm sure being pregnant was a factor. But once my birthday came, it was a pretty great day! I am prone to having birthdays that are less than fabulous...but since we are close to my family now, it was great! My Dad and Stepmom took CB on Thursday and kept her until Saturday. It was such a blessing!! I needed a day to myself and Hubby and I got to have a date night. Unfortunately, on Thursday night Hubby's Dad called to to us that his grandmother passed away. Her quality of life hadn't been good for a while, and we know she went to be with Jesus. Friday was my birthday and it was great! Hubby made sure no one forgot to call or text me, myna Aunt Di took me to lunch, my Mama took me shopping...and we had dinner at the farm with her, my stepdad and Samuel. It was a great day. Saturday we went on to Charlotte to celebrate New Years with the Lail's...and Sunday we were busy in Concord with Todd's grandmother's arrangements. Monday we traveled to Boone to bury her. In the midst of all that...Hubby bought a tractor!


Guess our farm dreams are on their way to coming true...
