I've been busy, tired, and too preoccupied to come on here though I'm sure I have a lot I could share. I was 5 months along yesterday and I'm still feeling tired, and already feeling big and uncomfortable. I question if it's my age, the baby's size, or the fact that I'm out of shape, but whatever it is I hope to be more energetic and motivated soon. My iron was low a couple weeks ago and I'm taking a supplement for that, but I haven't noticed much of a change, if any. It may just be stress though...Carson is working pretty steady, but where is the money? It is a trying time for most people, but we must turn to God and keep on keeping on. I had my ultrasound a week or two ago and Baby looks to be healthy and probably a big boy again since my dates were on. The only other two that my dates were accurate with was Dustin and Jamen. My big boys. Dustin was 9 lbs. and Jamen was 8 lbs. 9 oz. BUT WE DID NOT FIND OUT WHAT WE"RE HAVING!! It may surprise us and be a girl. So Colten is taking confirmation class this week with Gary Geer. I am excited for him to have the time to learn more about Jesus and to spend time with an elder in the church. I have mixed emotions though...I don't know if I'm ready to have a teenage boy who is closer to leaving me than anything!! He will probably take driver's ed. this fall too after he turns 15 in September. I feel like I'm being left behind. It doesn't make much sense since I'll be having a brand new baby in the fall too, but emotions don't make sense, I guess. So today I'm trying to find recipes to use my rhubarb with. I have rhubarb crunch in the oven now, but I thought it may be interesting to make some kind of chicken with rhubarb sauce, if I can find a recipe online. So we've been mostly dry all week (a nice change), but mostly cloudy too. This morning looks promising though. I'm pretty tired of the gray days. Where have our beautiful Washington summers gone?? I hear we have entered a 20 year pattern where we'll have rain most of the year. Maybe I'll get used to it after awhile...?

Yeah,it's a trying time for most right now. And like you said we most keep trusting God and keep on keeping on :) I am sorry you have been so tired. I have been too but I think I am still trying to catch up to not sleeping 23hrs when we got back from FL,the time change and hopping into getting up at 3:30am with Leon,not sleeping good due to stress etc. I too, have such mixed emotions of Felicity growing up,getting confirmed,going to drivers ed in the fall and getting her high school diplomia...we must let them go and it it sooo hard...I can REALLY scare myself when I start thinking of my lonely house after my kids leave me..then I BEG God for MANY grandbabies to feel my life!! and turn once again back to HIM and leaving it with HIM!!
ReplyDeleteYes,where have our WA summers gone??? I MISS them!! but even in that we have to trust God...love and prayers sent to you!!
I thought summers didn't really start there until July? We are finally getting warm weather here, but it keeps alternating.. It will be 90 for a few days then go down to the mid 70s.. Kinda weird.. Anyway I guess that song is true: the only thing that stays the same is: everything changes!! Our kids seem to be growing up so fast tho!!
