On another note

I decided that it was time to start reading the BofM to my sweet Audrey tonight. I have one that is illustrated so I thought that would be neat for her. And I need to read it again as well. She was sooo excited when I got the book out. She just wanted to flip through all the pages. So I had to sit her down and let her scream for a while until she was calm enough for me to read it to her. And as I read to her she calmed down even more. She loved the pictures, and she has always loved it when anyone reads to her.

After a while I decided that we needed to say a prayer before going to bed... And for the very first time, she folded her arms and closed her eyes for prayer. Oh that makes me sooo very happy. I had never tried just saying prayers with her at night time before. We have said prayers around her but never really tried to get her involved before.

Wow, what a night!

Now she is asleep with out making a fuss at all. I have a wonderful girl, who surprises me all of the time with the new things she is learning and doing.

Exciting news!

So about 1 week ago I was in the doctor's office having my Audrey looked at. (I was afraid that she might have been having an allergic reaction to some drugs...) And while I was there I asked the nurse practitioner, I think that is who we saw but she might be a doctor now, I dunno. Anyways I asked her about a few things for myself as well. And she decided that we could set up a quick appointment for me so that she could test my blood.

And you may have guessed from that little hint... the test was for pregnancy... And I am pregnant! I am not very far along at all... only 6 weeks.

But apparently with my last pregnancy I had things way too easy. This time I am feeling queasy almost all the time. And I try different things to try to help that queasy-ness but what helps one day or one time might not help the next, and that is very frustrating. And also I swear I am much much more tired this time around. Good heavens.

I need to find the energy to clean my house or I will go crazy... from the smells and everything... My nose is also super super sensitive to everything too.

But enough griping.... We are sooo excited to have a second child joining this family. You should hear my husband talk about it... It makes me happy. He says things like how he is excited about the little toes and feet. And that makes me wonderfully excited!

My Prayer

I am thankful to live in such times as these. This life is grand. It is good to know that there are good people in this world. I am also thankful that I can live in such a place as this where I can let my voice be heard and can maybe make a difference.

This last day has been historic. And I know that phrase has been said a lot. But I feel that it needs to be repeated. Historic. History been made. I believe that it is history being made, and I wonder if we made the correct decision. Oh don't get me wrong I am happy for this. But I can't help but wonder. Do I think it should have gone a different way? I don't know. I am happy today. And will pray that things go right tomorrow. I think that is all we can do anyways.

I feel the same way about the way I raise my daughter. Today I try and do what I think is right for her and for my sanity. And I hope that it will bring forth a beautiful, happy Child of God. So far things seem to be going well. And I hope things stay that way. But I still worry. Have I done the right thing?

And so that is how I go... Have we done the right thing? Who knows...

But today...


I am happy. So let us pray and hope for bright tomorrows.
