Alrighty, has it really been almost 2 and a half weeks since I posted? Life sure flys on by even when you're really paying attention to time, and trying to enjoy each moment.
Well the biggest thing that we did in the last 2 weeks is that we took a spontaneous trip up to Oregon. It was lots of fun! It was really the only time that we had to go visit our families though, since my husband started his new job. We are glad we went but the it was way too short. It's never enough time to soak in every bit of your family though. Sure is hard to live so far away from your folks when you have such a little one at home that grows waaayyy to fast. The drive home was really hot (114 in Redding, CA) and very long (12 1/2 hrs) to get home. Phew... It's good to be home in our own beds but I'm missing those we left there. :-(
My husband started his job as soon as we got home and he has been doing great! He really likes this new job. It's good to have your husband come home and be so excited about learning his new job. Even though I understand about 25% of the "tool talk" that he comes home with, it's the exhuberance and joy that he has back in his life that I am enjoying. :-)
Another thing that has us so darn excited lately is that we will be adding another wee one to our family in about 7 months. :-) Yep, we are expecting another child. I am now about 8 weeks pregnant and all is going well. I have a really hard time keeping my eye on that, the fact that I am well (actually sicker than a dog) and this pregnancy has been my best one yet. I'm sure every woman in early pregnancy has fears of loss but mine seems so great. Those of you who know me even a little knows that my dear sister lost a baby of her own earlier this year. It weighs heavy on her heart still and therefore is near and dear to my own. I know loss, after losing my first 2 babies to miscarriage, that loss is very real to me. Even with my pregnancy with Josiah I had spotting and was scared almost the whole pregnancy that I would lose him. But this one is sooo different. Some days I have such peace in my heart that God is taking care of us and all is well. Then other days I am so scared to lose this child, and I just want to dig my feet in and say "this is my child, God, and you can't take it from me." And in the same thought, I know that all of my children belong to the Lord. Anyway... beyond my inner struggle... I am really happy to bring another child into this world and am ready for it... Bring it on!
Blessings to you all!
