So yes Ladies, it is true. Totally prego.

I think I'm due end of June. Haven't been to the doc yet to know for sure. How am I feeling? I was in shock at first. Not as much as Wade, poor guy. We weren't planning on having our next one so soon but when it comes down to it they will be almost 2 years a part and it should be good. Wade says he is excited. I am happy about it and thinking how to squeeze another child in this house but then I think, Who cares. We will make it work.

All of this happening just adds to my thoughts lately that I am not in control at all of my life. The Lord knows what is best. I don't think I can go wrong having Him as my guide. Gladly take over sir~

Already I feel that I cannot keep up on the house. I felt like I was getting a handle on things. Now I simply feel lousy a lot. Just tired and my stomach doesn't feel good. But thank heavens that is the worst of it. My poor floor! I have to get to that this week. I mine as well serve Damon his food right on the floor. He throws it all there anyways and eats it when I don't get it cleaned up right away.

At fifteen months my son started walking! It feels like a miracle. Watching him walk around is so fun. I can see that he is happier. Now he wanders around from room to room making circles. He picks things up, walks around, throws things, walks around. So fun!

But this week I have two birthdays. One of them is on Thanksgiving day! AAAAHHHH

I'm going to try just going with the flow and be easy going. I'm pretty good at that lately.

Had a pretty good week. When was it? Tuesday? A friend of mine, knowing I had a lot going on this week came over unannounced and said, "Here I am for two hours to help."

It was like a breath of fresh air! Yay a helper!! And a big helper! I was so happy. She must have folded 4 batches of laundry. It was so great. We got a lot done and good conversation too.

Birthdays went well, Thanksgiving dinner went well. It all went well. I felt a lot of gratitude for my blessings. These were at the top of the list:

My best friend, partner and love of my life.

My beautiful, unique, special children who bring me so much joy.

The family I grew up with, their love and support.

Sisters are uniquely special. Cheryl called me last Monday just when I started crying. It was so weird because I took a break from stressful things I was trying to work out and sat down to have a good cry when soon after the phone rang. I saw her name and decided to answer it.

Two good parents who call at the right time when I need encouragement. Or leave me good messages. They don't criticise or judge. I'm grateful that my Mom and I are getting along better then we ever have as adults. My Dad is a steady rock.

I am most grateful for people. Relationships should be cherished. It is something that we can take with us when we die.
