Its been a while,I know.
The past month or so has been so up and down.We've had so much going on.
Well for one the computer crashed,it was out for repair for about a month.We were not sure at 1st if all of my photos were lost or not and at one point we thought they were(always get a second opinion!!)To say the least I was completly devastated.All of our pictures were on that computer,years of birthdays,Christmases,vacations,ect,ect.It was all of my memories and the thought of losing them was more than I could take.I almost felt like I had experienced a death.Ok,I know that sounds a little dramatic but it was hard to accept.Thankfully we did get a second opinion and this guy told us he could fix it for sure and save all of our precious pictures.It was the best news I had heard my whole life!!!!So if you can learn anything from my horrible experience,BACK EVERYTHING UP!!!!
All I can say is God is watching out for us,and I see it in so many ways everyday.We have been trying to refinace our house for the past 4 years or so,there has always been one reason or another that it never worked out.Almost always at the last minute when our hopes were up,so we were always so disappointed.We had finally come to the conclusion that if it didn't work out this time we would sell.That was honestly the last thing I wanted to do,we have a new baby coming and the thought of going through the selling process and then the moving process did not excite me in the least.
When we closed on our house in '07 the housing market had JUST crashed and we locked in at a super high intrest rate,7.5%.So needless to say our payment was sky high!Thank God we were able to refinance this time,we were able to get a 4% rate and you can imagine what a HUGE difference it will make for us.I have prayed so much about this and I feel like this is God's way of telling me this is where He wants me.It all worked out.It just worked out in His time,not mine.I'm learning everyday more and more that He is in control and worry and stress is not in His plan for us.Patience and Faithfulness is what I've gotten out of this experience.God will provide!!Not always in the way you want but in the ways He sees fit.
The baby is growing so so fast!I went to the Dr. last monday for a checkup.Right now I'm 32 weeks,its flying by.He told me we would do an ultra sound and check the baby's size and if he or she is looking extra big(like Eli and Ava were)he would scheldule to induce me then.Thats in 6 weeks!!!!!!!!I have to admit I do feel a little unprepared,but we will get this done I'm sure of it!The baby shower is in a few weeks and after that I should be ready to go!I can't wait to meet this little one.This pregnancy has been different than my other 2.I have been really uncomfortable lately.My ribs feel bruised and my back has been hurting a lot.I have not gained as much weight as I did with Eli and Ava,which is great and I have felt really great this whole time,minus the 1st few months or sickness and the being sick during Thanksgiving break.Other than that I feel lots of energy and I've stayed very active.Not in the working out sense,but just on the go constantly,I'm sure it has somehting to do with the 2 kids and the job and all;)I'm sure that has helped me not to gain as much.So far 25 lbs,but compared to the 50 lbs with the other 2 I feel pretty good about that.
And....speaking of work,my last day was friday.It was very bittersweet.
I have been wearing myself out so much lately,getting up at 5:30 getting myself ready and the kids up and going,fixing lunches and working all day with 24 5 and 6 years olds has taken its toll.But I feel like its been good for me in a way,I've been busy.I've been eating super healthy,no mid day snacking on junk.
I'm going to miss my kids and the teacher I worked with,and all the wonderful ladies I got to know over the past year.It was hard to leave but much needed.I need to be home now,taking care of the house and my family.I feel like thats what I need to be doing right now.Who knows what the future holds but I plan on taking things nice and slow for as long as I can.I want to enjoy this time and I pray it goes by slowly and I can cherish lots and lots of memories.
Like I said God is watching out for us and I feel like things are falling into place.
Its officailly spring break,the kids have been going non stop.I'll post pictures very soon!
