14 weeks

Well, I finally had a doctor apt. today. I really like my new doctor. She's friendly, informative and great bed side mannor. I got to hear the heart beat which is always comforting. I have an ultra-sound next Tues to confirm due date of Oct 27. (one day after Charlize). However this baby will also be a c-section as Prescott doesn't perform v-backs. They do not have anesthieiologists on location at all times and it could take 30min for the on-call to get there. Small towns sure are different. =) But, she said she always schedules for 39 weeks which will be fine with me at that point to go a week early. That also gives the kids a week between birthdays which is nice. My sister Jodi and my birthday are 5 days apart and it always worked well to have our own weekend to celebrate.

God has been blessing us with work lately. Mike has two small jobs this week and then two larger ones coming up. At this point it looks like we have work for the next 4months! Praise the Lord. He is so good to us.

Charlize, meet God.

Charlize and I were reading a book about how God has created our bodies. Everytime we get to a body part we point to it. The last page just talked about God so I asked Charlize where God is. (even though I know He is everywhere) I pointed up toward the sky. She turned her head, looked up and said, "hi".

Thank you to everyone for all the prayers over the last few days. I felt every one! Monday was travel day as well as the first time I had been out of bed in 6 days. My mom got me to the airport and we found out the flight was delayed by an hour. (always happens to me in Omaha). Thankfully I was feeling well, just tired so I got to use a wheel chair and my mom got to come through security. We finally got on the plane which was only half full so I was able to use three seats for us. This helped a lot! Charlize had room to squirm and squirm she did for 3 hours straight! It was a lot of work and I had to make numerous appologies to the couple in front of us and she threw her book over the seat and pulled hair. Thankfully I didn't feel sick until the last few minutes.

When we got off the plane I couldn't find Mike. I wasn't strong enough to hold Charlize so I made her walk with me. All the sudden she was tugging on my arm. I thought she was trying to get away but then realized she saw Mike and was running to him. I'm so glad she didn't forget him. After a very long two hr ride we were home. The last few days we've been trying to make the 2 hr time change. (charlize got up at 4:30am Tues)

Today is my first day to be alone. I've been a guest in someone's home since mid Dec. and although it was a great time I'm just enjoying being by myself today. Mike and his parents are taking care of Charlize which is great since I'm back to jello and water and resting. I hit 11 weeks today! I'm hoping it's like last time and I only have two more bad weeks to go! I think I can, I think I can, I think I can!
