Give Thanks

I am full of thanks right now. My Savior loves me and has a plan for my life. And though most days I don't understand this adventure I can trust in my Savior who loves me. Thank you, Jesus.

I work this afternoon and don't have time to download pics. That will have to come tomorrow.

I have a break from severe back and nerve pain and am so thankful. Monday after work I could barely walk and kept waking Jesse during the night as I would cry out when I moved. Not good. I found relief after a massage the next day and I have been trying not to over do things and lift too much and have been diligent in my stretches. This never happened in my other pregnancies, but ouch!

I am soaking up so much from the Bible study I have been attending on Wednesday mornings(well I have been learning all week long in the Word, but Wed is when we meet). Thank you, again, Jesse, for encouraging me to go.

Spring is here. It is in the air. I can feel warmth on my face when I step out the door. And we have been soaking up the Vitamin D. Thankful for spring.

My nephews, Lawson and Landon turn 2 today!

I have a huge to do list of things I want to get done before the baby comes. We got to check a couple of them off the list this week. Yeah!

We moved Grace into a full bed and Hadassah into the toddler bed. Hooray!!!!! So far, so good. Oh, and I am almost embarressed to post this, but with the bed move we took away Hadassah's nuk for sleepy time. I was such a wimp this time around letting her keep it. But since she moved into her new bed she has only asked for it once. However, now she does like to ask to go potty, like her big sister does, right after they get tucked in at night. She is still doing well during the day using the potty and I am so thankful for that.

This little one in my womb is so busy!! Kicking and moving. Kicking and moving. I can't believe it some days. Reminds me of Grace. She was a mover and Dassah barely moved. It is fun to feel the action and Jesse can see and feel the kicks now, too, so that makes it even sweeter.

I am getting ready for our gardening. We have our seeds and a plan, but need a little more time to get the soil ready. We are trying watermelon this year and acorn squash, since we eat so much of it. The girls are getting excited.

I promised the girls a quick walk before I leave for work this evening. So, off I go.

Oh Jo! I'm so sorry to hear of all of your pains. It makes me hurt. I will be praying for your endurance and strength to hold up. Your little ones are so precious and growing so quickly. My boys were so active in the womb...maybe a boy is due this time around?!
