No Snow Fun For Me!

I guess that childlike part of me that use to want to play in the snow is gone for now, or maybe I just don't really like being cold but I do enjoy the scenery. I took this picture of this little bird sitting in the tree in our backyard, there was a whole flock of them but every time I went outside to take the picture, they flew off, so I had to take this from the window and zoom in, I think it turned out pretty good! I am looking forward to playing in the snow with our child, that is if it ever snows again!

Appointment Update

We went to the doctor yesterday and everything is going well! I have only gained 1 lb. so far and the baby's heartbeat is good! That's it. Next visit, we find out what we are having, yay!

Prayer Request

I was informed today that our company policy has changed due to the economy. I will not be getting paid maternity leave now, I normally would get 6 weeks paid. This is going to be hard for us but we will make it because God is our Provider! I am grateful and blessed to even have a job because I know so many people have become jobless, our company has already let some go. I am blessed to even be getting time off (6 weeks) because under the Family Medical Leave Act, a company that has less than 50 employees is not required to do ANYTHING for you. Got to love this United States of America that we live in sometimes! If I could, I would pack up and move to Canada with my Mom, you get at least a year off with your new baby AND part-time pay! Wow! What a deal! You would think that America would be on the top of the list for providing for Maternity Leave and things of that nature.

The Flowers Have Bloomed Even More!

Giving God Glory!

I just want to take a moment and thank God once again and give him the Glory for this pregnancy! I was told 2 years ago that I was not ovulating and that I would need "help" i.e. fertility drugs to get pregnant. Well, I refused to believe that! I knew that God would heal me and bless us with a child in His time if it was His will. I even had a miscarriage last February but I did not back down and continued to have Faith that God would bless us with a child someday in His time! God is so good!

My Valentine's Surprise

I received these Friday morning at work! It just made my day! They are so bright and cheerful. I had to take a pic of every angle so you could see them all. They are even prettier now, some of the Lilies had yet to bloom but they did over the weekend. I will take another pic tonight!

Happy Valentine's Day from Us
