So I have not blogged in quite some time, like alomost 4 months. So here is my little update. Matthew and I moved back to Roseburg. I currently work at Comspan again, something I said I didnt want to do again, but hey sacrafices had to be made. I am 34 1/2 weeks pregnant and feeling every bit of it. Matthew and I are looking forward to our little bundle of joy and getting our own home soon. Until next time.
Well Matthew and I had an appointment on the 2nd of February. It was just a general check up on the baby and myself. Since I am seeing a new doctor I had to run through the million questions again, but that was okay it was all worth it. The doctor's say that the baby is perfect, which Matthew and I are very thankful for. The Ultrasound Tech said the baby weighs aprox 11 oz right now. She is super active and likes to kick! Oh yeah IT'S A GIRL! That was the most exciting part of the whole thing, finding out what the sex was. Anyway I have a little ultrasound picture here for you all to see, it is of the baby and in this picture she is sucking her thumb.
Hello all. I haven't blogged in quite some time now and I am probably back on Sabrina's "abandoned blog" list. But that is alright. Matthew and I actually just bought a computer, so I have a good excuse, no access to the internet....no access to life it seemed like. Anyway just an update on what is going on with Washington. Matt is working at Liberty House Financial- He likes it! He is a hard worker and he gets noticed by the Managers as a persistant man. (Awesome Work Ethic) He usually works about 12 plus hours a day so we dont really see too much of each other right now. Early mornings when he wakes me up!!!! (to ask me if he looks hot) and in the evenings, late evenings when he comes home. I spend the majority of my time relaxing and getting as much rest as I can. However I do have a job. It is only on two days a week, Tuesdays and Thursdays, at the Church. They have a preschool class that I help out with. It is only like 3 hours each day, so the rest of the time I see if GL needs and help with any of the projects they might have. I go to worship with the GL class as much as I can. Right now only two days a week, but it is really nice and refreshing. It is fun to watch another class go through all the spiritual growth and revelation that comes to them. It is a deep class. About the Baby- I am finally starting to show. I dont just feel like I have gained a bunch of weight anymore, cause you can actually see the bump now. Hopefully it is evident that I am to other people. Nothing like feeling that you are not attractive anymore! But that is over, the only problem I have now is clothing. Maternity pants look like I am swiming in a pool of material. I practically have to hike them up to my ribs so it doesn't look like I am wearing a diaper!!!!! Maternity shirts are still too big, so for now I just buy a Large and stretch out all others. It will be nice when I can wear maternity clothes and be a hot momma, for now I will stay inside (away from civilization) and wear sweats. Well that is all I have for now and I will update when I get to it again.
So I gave my two weeks notice the other day, well a couple days ago! I am glad that I get the option to quit working for a while. It will be a nice vacation for me! So the place that I work for really wants me to stay through the holiday season but there is no way that I can. Besides the fact that I dont want to, my husband and I have talked about it and the decision is no. Matt got the job offer in Washington so we will be moving shortly. I am sad to know that I will be away from my family members and my good friends, but at the same time we have an oppertunity of a lifetime, and we also have friends up there so it wont be so bad. Not to many people know that we are taken off for a while. Our family and some friends but it is not common knowledge. It is a bittersweet time. We know that Washington is the place for us at this time, actually it was like 8 months ago, but Matt and I were not married and we really wanted to stay in the comfort zone. Well the zone is gone and its time to move along with life. I am a little nervous about finding another job up there. I absolutely must have insurance for the baby and me, so I will be looking once I actually get settled down in Washinton. It is really crazy how all this has happened so fast, its good but crazy. Anyway I dont really have anything else to say so til next time. Have a good one!
I dont have the picture for you all, yet, I am afraid to scan it. Some little bird stated that photo copiing will fade the picture out. Who wants to ruin the first picture of their child. I don't. Anyway this entry is for all those who insisted that I was having twins. HA HA HA. I have only one child growing within. There is not another one behind it either. In fact it was my first question- how many are in there? Silly but I had to know. I have been checking out the internet to see a better picture of the baby, they are so cool, the detail in them is nuts. This picture is of a baby at 8 weeks, right were I am. All kinds of crazy things are going on with the baby right now. Here is info from one website http://www.pregnancy.org/pregnancy/fetaldevelopment1.php Week Eight Cartilage and bones begin to form - At the end of this week your baby will have already completed 1/5th of the journey 'til his/her birthday! The basic structure of the eye is well underway - The position is more "newborn" like already! The tongue begins to develop Intestines move out of the umbilical cord into the abdomen. Body grows and makes room - Two months along and this little one is growing inside and out by leaps and bounds! The fingers and toes have appeared but are webbed and short Baby's length (crown to rump) is 0.61 inch (1.6cm) and weight is 0.04 ounce (1gm) Isnt it absolutely amazing that all this is taking place as I write this!! The very same way that it has been said that when an astronaut goes into space there is no way that they can deny there is a God, anyone who has expierenced being a mom, and all the developement that happens CANNOT DENY THAT GOD IS ALIVE AND REAL!
So as if the whole world doesn't know already....I am pregnant! And totaly excited about it. (A lot of people get the wind somehow, names will not be mentioned, but I know who you are!!) Took the suprise right away...I found this cute little picture of a baby eating a daisy. So stinkin cute! Anyway I have talked to numerous people that have been pregnant in the past, just to get an idea of what to expect. I asked a lot of questions about how I feel, like being tired all the time, super irratable, moody- it is so sparatic- seriously worse than PMS. So yeah, had the first doctors appointment yesterday, the one where they just ask a hundred question about your health and your family history. My favorite question..."What shoe size do you wear?" Totally odd, but evidentally it has some relivance to the size of child you have. Please God, 7-7 1/2 lbs. Healthy! 8 1/2 lbs is nuts. I have another appointment tomorrow, it is my fist ultrasound. I get to see what that little zygote looks like in 3-D. Actually I don't think it is a zygote anymore. LOL. Well it still looks like a dinosaur, but with human characteristics. Great thought! Yeah so if I somehow get to a scanner I will get the picture online so all can see the little person inside. I am sure some are asking about names, but at this time I chose not to say much about it because everyone has an opinion and I dont want to hear the negative ones. I will say that for the most part the Names are biblical and have a very strong meaning, which I absolutely adore.
Isa 62:10-12 Go through, go through the gates, Clear the way for the people; Build up, build up the highway, Remove the stones, lift up a standard over the peoples. 11Behold, the LORD has proclaimed to the end of the earth, Say to the daughter of Zion, "Lo, your salvation comes; Behold His reward is with Him, and His recompense before Him." 12And they will call them, "The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD"; And you will be called, "Sought out, a city not forsaken."
Personal Note: RHS graduate, attended a year of leadership training at Generational Leadership. Recently got married the 29th of May (which by the way, was everything I dreamt it would be) I am currently employed with Comspan USA. I would like to attend college in the near future and eventually become a mother of some healthy twins (that is for Laura).
Spiritual Note: I have a desire to see my generation set free from cripling mentalities and illnesses. I believe that God has incredible calling on mine and my husbands life.
