Week 10

By Monday, the baby will be the size of a really big coat button. It's hard to believe it went from 1 mm to THAT. It's not surprising then I suppose that I've been extremely tired.

I asked God the other day if I could have a break. He gave it to me on Wednesday.

I woke up refreshed, wasn't tired, wasn't feeling sick. It was glorious, and terrifying at the same time. I kept punching my boobs just to make sure they still hurt. Just to make sure that...umm..I was still pregnant.

I can tell you that the next day, I didn't have to punch my boobs anymore. God gave me a one day break only. Such a great sense of humor.

They say morning all day sickness heightens around week 9. I figured it can only go uphill from here right?

I also have been panicking a bit. My job right now is at an office, and it's training me to work from home. Which really is a dream come true for me. On another note, how will I manage when the baby comes? I only get a 5-week break. How will that ever work?

I have come up with a couple of plans. First one would be that I quit now and go find a temporary position to build up my hours/salary so that I can take a decent mat leave for a year.

Second, of course, is to work towards our business goal and replace my current income with coaching, sales, speaking, etc.

I have to admit, I never thought I was a survivor, but right now, I am in full survivor mode. I can't even see past what's right in front of me right now, let alone dream about how abundant our future will be.

It's time I go back to my circle of friends. This is what happens when I've been away from them for too long.

1 more week til my family is here for the big announcement, 2 more weeks until I get to tell the world.

And then I'll go back to my social circle again. I promise.

On a happier note: today, I was walking over to Starbucks for a coffee. And out of no where, and I'm not exaggerating, $10 fell from the sky right at my feet! Mind you, it was windy, so it very well could've been that someone took it out and it flew out of their hand. But from where I was standing, it felt like it came from the sky. So Universe, thank you. It bought me and another girl coffee with some left over for charity.

I asked God last night for an extra $5000 by the end of the month. Only $4990 to go!

Humbled by a Contest

About 18 months ago, Bryan and I went through some challenges in our relationship. We were at a point where we were deciding to stay together or separate amicably. It was both a chaotic and peaceful time for us. Chaotic about the unknown, but so much peace that no matter what happened at the end, we had nothing but love for each other. In the midst of it all, I had read about 8 books in 2 months to keep me occupied in the chaos. Then I stumbled onto a book that changed me.  It was a book on my wish list for the past 10 years. Yes, 10 years. And I am not sure what prompted it, but I finally bought the book. I won't go too much into Conversations with God. You can get it and read it if you'd like. It was exactly what I needed at that moment (isn't that always the way?). It gave me the peace I needed to let go of whatever ideas I had about our marriage. And from there, Bryan and I demolished what was, and built something new. A shift happened that I finally truly learned t

And Here He Is...

I haven't had much time to think about writing because well, juggling 3 kids takes up a lot of time! I'm sitting here with maybe 5 minutes to spare before the baby will need attention again, so I better get to typing quick! Each pregnancy has been so different. With Mackenzie, I was miserable for the first 22 weeks with morning sickness, and then I felt like I could be pregnant forever! With Bryanna, I was miserable for the entire 39 weeks. I could not wait for her to get out! With this one, I was miserable for the first 20 weeks with morning sickness, and then great for 17 weeks, and then the last 3 weeks...well, let's just say there were some tears. With it being one of the hottest summers, I could not wait for this baby to get out! Plus the inconvenience of not being able to pick up the girls when I wanted to, or bend down to give them a kiss - I just wanted to be mobile again! So when my first consistent contractions came I was so excited. We even took one last wa

Week 36 - Almost Cooked!

Or as my friend Tara would put it - almost marinated. Baby can come anytime now, but could use 4 more weeks of baking (or at least I could use it). The sleepless nights have begun. I'm feeling more and more uncomfortable as I walk, sleep, and eat. I can only walk so much before I'm out of breath. It takes me a minimum of an hour to fall asleep. And well, I'm feeling pretty nauseous these days, so food is to a minimum. All this is preparing me for when the baby comes, I can't wait! (note sarcasm) Had my baby shower this past weekend and it was great! The ladies in charge did a great job decorating and a lot of people made it out, which was awesome. We bought our first baby item this week - a playpen from Babies R' Us (it was 40% off, I couldn't resist!). Next up on the list is a stroller. STILL trying to figure that out. On top of that, I'm now on the hunt for cloth diapers. Do we just buy the package deal now, or buy a few to try it out to see if we even
