For you viewing pleasure : )
This was taken yesterday, 37 weeks!
I am having the baby next week on Friday, December 10th.

Close Call

I bet you think I disappeared off the face of the earth, didn't you?
Well as you can see, I didn't. Life has just been busy and I have been enjoying reading other people's blogs.

I do want to give you a quick update though.
I am now 35 weeks pregnant with baby # 7. I am scheduled for a c-section (my 4th) on December 10th.

HOWEVER, last night I was in the hospital with contractions 2 to 4 minutes apart. I am praising God today that they were able to stop them (after 2 doses of Procardia) and send me home on bedrest.

God has a way of teaching us lessons. I am, by natural, a control freak (yes, I will admit it). God is showing me more and more that I am ultimately NOT the one in control but HE is.

Under Construction

Blog is Under construction.
Morning sickness is gone and I am feeling better (17 1/2 weeks!)

Planning on updating look and start posting. Plan is by this weekend!!

See you then : )

YES!!!!!

I am thrilled to announce that YES, I am indeed expecting (again!)!!!! : )

Number 7!!!!

I am 7 1/2 weeks.

I am due on December 20, 2010. However I will be having a c-section around 38-39 weeks.

Nicholas and the baby will be less than 15 months apart. (About 14 1/2)

Yes, we were shocked. I would have never thought in my "Advanced Maternal Age" I would have back to back pregnancies.

We are thankful for this blessing God has given to us.

Please keep me in your prayers. Morning sickness has struck. It isn't as bad as with Nicholas. I think in part because as soon as it started I called the doctor and got put on Zofran. Also, even though I don't feel like eating (and can easily go the whole day not eating) I have been forcing myself to eat. No easy task. I am finding that even though I feel sick before and during eating I usually feel better after and the morning sickness lets up for a little while.

Guess.....

December 20, 2010.

Still Standing....

Have you missed me? I haven't blogged in almost 7 weeks. Here's a quick breakdown of what has happened----

March 24th---Grandmother died (dad's mom)

March 25th---My Mom had a stroke

March 31st---Dad diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer and coded after the biopsy surgery.

Both parents were in the hospital at the same time. I spent 2 weeks going back and forth, spending hours upon hours out of the house. Have I ever mentioned how much of home-body I am? I can be home for days upon days without going out and be perfectly content with it.

Dad went to a nursing home for about 10 days and ended up back in the hospital. I thought we were going to lose him on April 16th. He is suppose to be discharged Monday or Tuesday back to a nursing home and then he will start chemo. Chemo is NOT going to cure him, just give him some more time.

Mom has been at my house for the last 2 weeks recovering from her stroke. She is coming along fantastically. She will be spending another week here and then transition back to her house.

In the last month my life have been turned upside down. To have BOTH parents be so critically ill at the same time has been heart breaking. All this and still trying to meet the needs of my 6 precious blessings. I thank God that I have such a wonderful husband that helped me through and filled in so much at home and with the kids.

I spent my time driving back and forth to the hospital praying and worshiping our Lord. I rested in Him. He has given me a peace through all of this.
