Thoughts

As I’m nearing the end of this blessing that I have desired to experience for so long, I can’t help but feel a little sad. I’m grateful for this journey that has brought me so much closer to God, but I’m going to miss this little person kicking and rolling inside of me. I’m going to miss knowing that while she is sharing my body with me I can keep her safe from the outside world. I’m going to miss the convenience of having her tucked safely in my womb. I will miss being there for every moment of her precious life, knowing that soon, I will have to share her with the rest of the world. Feeling remorseful for getting caught up in the busy world that I didn’t get to relish every single moment of this miracle inside of me. I love her more and more every day. As mourn the closing of this wonderful journey I look forward to the adventure ahead. Soon she will be in my arms, my lips will touch her soft cheek, my ears will hear her sweet cry, and my heart will fall deeper in love. This journey will continue with my daughter, and our loving Heavenly Father because, I can’t do this with out Him.

HEAVEN!!!!

Yesterday was Monday...I hate Mondays (okay, I strongly dislike Mondays). Not just because they are the start of the week, or the end of my beautiful weekend, simply because it is the longest, most tiresome work day for me. I'm in charge of the Monday night dinner for the operations night crew meeting every Monday night. I plan on 30 men and a few women (very few) to eat BBQ or Mexican. I do not use paper plates...only the finest for our crew. Which means I do the clean up too. This wasn't so bad before I was pregnant but now Monday's totally wipe me out. So the few waking hours that I get to spend with my husband usually consist of me plopping down on the couch, taking my shoes off and unzipping my pants so the baby and I can breathe only to get up an hour or so later to stagger into bed. Well, yesterday I received a phone call from my sweet, concerned husband, who out of the blue promises me a "rub down" to which I reply "WOOOHOOO!" As the day drags on I keep the thought of my husband rubbing my aches and pains away in the back of my mind. Not sure that he will follow through with his promise but ever hopeful. At 6:30 pm I have finally got everything cleaned up and put away. I drag myself to my car and head for home in the hope that he remembers his promise. I get home and take one look at Phillip and he looks as tired as I feel. So I never bring up the massage that I have been longing for. We watch The Big Bang and when it's over I announce that I'm going to soak in the tub for a little while. Now I'm relaxed I've had my bath, my teeth are brushed, I am ready for bed. I go sit down by my sweet husband for a while when he tells me to grab the lotion. I get the biggest smile on my face as I hobble off to get the lotion. When I return he gives me the best neck and shoulder rub that I have ever had then he ask "what next" quickly I reply "my feet". Then he leads me to the bed room and I lay down and he sits at the bottom of the bed and rubs my feet until I feel like I'm in Heaven. Then he quietly shuts the door and lets me drift off to Heaven.

NUTS!!!!

I changed my background and it deleted all of your blogs. So if you don't see your blog on the sidebar will you please give me your blog address so I can put it back. I know I'm and idiot for not saving them. To all my cousins that have blogs please give me yours too so I can add them. Thanks a bunch. This time I will save them so this never happens again.

P.S. I'm planning on having Misty scan me (ultrasound) some time next week so hopefully I will have some baby pictures to share.

IT"S ABOUT TIME!!!

I have some news to share with all my blogging friends and family.... We (Phillip and I) are having a baby!!!! I'm due in September, so I'm not that far along but I think that most everyone knows anyway. We were able see the little bean and hear the heart beat last Friday. It was the best sound I have ever heard. I have been feeling pretty good so far (knock on wood), just very tired. I can't wait to hold and kiss this baby. I have waited a long time for this... so this baby is very wanted and much loved. Anyway I just wanted to share. I love and miss all of you, take care.
