So this pregnancy has been so much different than Sophias. I dont want to say harder, just different.
Well, last week I started having cramp like feelings very low in my abdomen, which is what happend just a few days before Sophia entered the world, so I started to wrry. Well, I didn't think much of it, still to early to have a baby, so I sorta ignored it. Well, today I thought I better call. Turns out, I have a bladder infection. My nurse said my uterus and bladder are not friends and are both fighting for the same space, and the uterus is winning, making the infection in my bladder. I am on an antibiotic for a few days and hopefully that will clear things up. I was so sick to my stomach just thinking there could be somethign wrong with the baby or that he was coming early, but my doctor reassured me I was fine, the baby was fine, and he was going to stop anything from happening to early. he is a great doctor.
So that made for an eventful morning/afternoon today. On top of that, Sadie, our dog, has been running away. She is so silly and thinks its funny or something to take off. Three tiems in the past few days.... ugh silly dog. Anyone wnat her? She makes a great pet, when she stays in the yard and doesn't take off. The funny thing is, Charlie, who doesn't have the underground fence collar on never leaves the yard. Sadie has the bigger of the two collars, usually Charlies on, and she takes off and gets a buzz and Charlie stays and cries because she ran away. Oh fun.
Ok, so thats my day. I'll update more later. I always say I will write more often, but it never seems to work that way : )

So much to be thankful for!
So many days I stop to thank God for all the blessings in my life...
Today, it was the snow. I know it may bother me in a few months when it is still around, but today, it gave me a chance to take Sophia out to play in it and that was so much fun. Sophia had a blast being pulled around on her sled and of course I was running out of energy but it was worth it!
Plus, a situation I have been praying for is looking better : )
I have to say, this whole marriage thing, is very worth it. I dont know who I was talking to lately, about marriage and how a huge step it is and how it should not be taken lightly... it got me thinking.
My marriage with Randy isn't perfect. I wont lie and tell you it is. But God did not create it with the idea that after a few years to try it and then if it doesn't work, throw in the towel. NO... and dont get any ideas here, we are not having problems of any sort like that to cause us to want to think that... I'm just saying is all....
I love Randy, and all he does for me. He is a great man with a huge heart to serve God and to minister to people. He is a people pleaser and loves to have people around all the time. That is just one of the many reasons I love him and love to have him as my husband.
We are watching this video series in sunday school, and it has been so good. We have been married 3.5 years and I thought, oh we dont have problems yet, why should we watch this? But it has opened my eyes and showed me things to help prevent future problems! Imagine that!
He makes it easy for me to respect him because of the hard work he does for our family in providing and leading. I get so sad when I hear other women talk about their husbands in a disrespecful way. That is something I pray I never do... I always want to build him up in front of others. And if there are things that I may have a hard time with about him, I pray that I just keep it to myself.
Ok, I need to get away from the computer and finish packing. Tomorrow, we are heading to PA for Thanksgiving and i couldn't be more excited. I love this time of year and this year seems to be so special. Not sure why.
God is so good and has never not provided my needs. I know I need to keep trusting HIM to keep providing : )

Target made a mistake
Ok, so I know this unlike me to post twice in one day, or for me to complain or make a stink about things... but here it goes...
Sunday night, I found an awesome deal on a carseat at Target online. It was such an awesome deal, I almost bought two... jsut because I still wouldn't be paying close to half of what 1 normally costs. So I bought one and felt great about my purchase.
Well, today I notice my order was cancelled without any notification. I checked my emial and nothing there letting me know of why my order was cancelled. So I called Target and couldn't get through to anyone, due to high volumes of calls that night (probably everyone complaining about this car seat situation)
Anyway, I'm just bummed out I guess you can say. When a store has something wrongly priced, they usually honor that price. Why would they not do this online? I am sure giving me this car seat at this price isn't going to make the chain of Target go under or anything. I will be more willing to shop there again if they do honor this and give me my car seat at the price the wrongly listed. I know I am only one person, and my little voice wont make a difference, but I am considering going higher up in the Target cooperation. Somehow, I want to get this car seat.
I am so bummed too because I like to shop there, but I am really considering not anymore....

Doctor appointment update
I went for my regular doctor appointment today.. all is well with the little one!
I took Sophia with me, and she was so cute. I got on the scale, usually a scary thing, but only gained 4 pounds this month... woohoo... not bad. But after I got off, Sophia got on. She was 25 pounds.
Then we were listening to the heartbeat, and it was 136, right where it has been, and as soon as heard it, Sophia started to bust a move. I dont know if she was happy to hear her brothers heartbeat, or if there was a beat and she had to cut a rug. hehe... regardless, she made me smile yet again!
So we went to Meijer after the appointment just to look at some Christmas presents for her, and walking in, we saw a little boy and she was pointing and saying "caidan" which is the name of the little one I watch a few days a week. Even though it wasn't him, it was still cute that she made that connection.
I think having children is a blessing and Sophia continues to amaze me everyday. I hope I dont loose sight of that when the new little one comes. I know he will be very special to me and his milestones will mean a lot, but I hope to still enjoy my little Sophia as much as now!
My next appointment is December 19th... I will be 35 almost 36 weeks. I was surprised he didn't want to see me sooner, usually at this point the appointments happen every 2 weeks, but he wasn't worried so I shouldn't be worried either. I guess when I go again, I'll be within a month of my due date... so thats a reason to party!!
Ok, Sophia has left a wonderful smelly surprise for me, better take care of that. Caidan is supposed to be here, actually, 15 minutes ago, so I'm just waiting. Hopefully he comes! I will give the mom a call in a few minutes if she doesn't show up....
Ok, have a good one everyone!

Chocolate Night
Last night we had a chocolate night. Oh my goodness... how wonderful that was! I was really good, and only ate a small plate of goodies. I could have been very bad and ate more than I should and gave my baby a sugar high, but I love my little one and didn't want to do that to him, and have him pay me back for it later in the night!
Ok, so a sidenote. My sisters youth pastor left her church recnetly, and she has always said what a good fit it would be for Randy and I, not to mention how it take us back to PA. I got off the phone with my mom and laughed, when we were this far along with Sophia we looked into moving to a new church, so lets keep the trend going. NO WAY! I started thinking of how much I love being where we are and how content I am. God has blessed us with a great church family and a great ministry here. I dont want to leave. I always thought when an opportunity came about to move to PA I would jump on it, but God has really opened my heart to this area. It is so awesome to be in a such a great church family.
With that said, we are not planning on moving and we never even entertained the thought, for those who were worried. I just thought it was funny that a church that would be so nice for us to move to would have a position open up, and I would be at this point in my life! What a blessing!
On the baby side of things... I am now almost 31 weeks along, which gives us 9 weeks to go until the due date. I am thinking he may come early, but not sure when. I dont think I'll go past my due date, but really dont know when I"ll have this little one. I'll be full term the last week of December, so Randy is ok with that too! Then I start to think, thats next month!!! holy cow!!! AHHH!! I'm not ready for a new baby yet! Yes, I am.... I just worry a bit.
Ok, gotta go. Just thought I would share my newest thoughts!

So, if someone would hav told me the second pregnancy was harder than the first, I would still go through it, but I would consider it first. Things this time have been so very different than the first. I know this little life growing in me is worth it though, I just look forward to having my body back and being able to sit without getting jabbed in the ribs or my bladde stomped on.
Today was a good day. I ddin't have Caidan again, two days in a row. That was nice. I got a lot done, cleaned, laundry, packed for the retreat, it was one of those kind of days where I can go to bed and know I did enough in my day.
Last night was pretty eventful. Pastor Doug had an awesome message about prayer and how we should be praying. Well, right after the message a man walked to the bottom of the steps and collapsed with a heart attack. I have never witnessed something like that and I did'nt know what to do. So I prayed. I got Sophia and I went and prayed. God is soo good. The man is weak, and the muscles around his heart causing the heart attack, but he is still alive. It really made me think that we never know when our last breath will be, so what will you be doing when you take your last breath? Have you impacted the Kingdom today? I have been really thinking about that lately, and last night really got my attenion!
This weekend we are taking our teens to a retreat at THE SPRINGS, only the coolest camp ever! I used to say SRBC was the coolest, but the springs has climbed the charts and in my opinion has passed SRBC... another post for another day. The retreat is a purity and holiness retreat. I am really praying that our teens take something home from this. I remember coming to a point in high school to not kiss until I was married... even though I didn't keep that vow, I learned alot through it. There is mroe to a relationship than the physical side.
Ok, its pretty late and I could really keep this post going about what I have just sprung in the last paragraph, another post for another day.
I am just baking the last tray of cookies for my sweet husband who wanted my moms recipe of chocolate chip cookies... so the love of my life... enjoy your cookies!

Tired, oh so tired
I know God is good, and why do I complain?
I should just end the post at that, but of course I wont.
I love my husband, but being married is hard. Being self-less is very hard. All I want (this week) is a crib for my baby. I am having a terrible case of nesting and feel the need to have a crib in the babys room. A crib that this little one wont even sleep in until he is born (duh) and then even some time after that! But I still find the need to have a crib!
I just wish I could be handed $5,000 tomorrow, then I can buy a crib, not even a super expensive one, just a crib!
Why am I making such a big deal out of this! Its not! I have enough of everything I truly need for this little one, and I know its not the material things that make a baby happy, but I do know that a place to sleep will make him happy.
Ok, I'm done venting over this. I am going to finish watching one tree hill then hopefully fall asleep. Randy is working tonight... probably till midnight or so, so annother night of falling asleep on the couch and then moving to the bed when he comes home. At least I have my two guard dogs... who are currently sound asleep and would take a minute to really wake up and protect me! oh well, they try.
Ok, to all you readers, if there are any!!! Goodnight!
