OUR GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD!
I am on a journey. I've fallen away from my relationship with God. I have let a lot of things slide here lately, but that is one thing that can't be let go.
This morning before the kids woke up, I was getting ready for work this morning and I was overcome. I immediately went into my bedroom and dropped to my knees. I pray, but I haven't been talking with God. I let it all out this morning, I let it all go, I cried, I spilled my heart and I gave up all of the weight that was on my shoulders!
It was amazing. I know logically that my relationship with God should be number one, before anything else. And I've been putting it last. Not anymore. I had an awful day today. My class was great, I have such an amazing group of kids, but it was a hard day for me personally. I even had a couple of teaches keep asking if I was ok today! I guess I had that look of thought on my face! But it's ok. I'm not worried, I'm not stressed, I know that all will be as God has planned.
I urge you, if you haven't in a while, to stop what you are doing, go to a quiet place and have a long, heartfelt conversation with God. And listen....you never know what you'll hear!! God is amazing and he wants to have a relationship with you. He wants to be your friend, your confidant, your Father. I urge you to go to him and give yourself to him again!

Third Midwife Appointment
It went so well. I'm so blessed to have Marilyn and Jeanne!
I haven't gained any weight since I saw them a couple of weeks ago. So still up just one pound for the whole pregnancy. I suspect that'll change now that I'm feeling really well! But my cravings are pretty healthy, so I'm really doing well this time around!
We heard the baby kick/punch and we heard the heartbeat after Jeanne had to tell peanut that he/she needed to be still for just a moment! Yes, another very active baby!! The heartbeat was in the 150s. They said it was perfectly normal and too early to tell if it was high or low (for boy or girl) because all babies heartbeats are high at this age. But it was perfect!!!!!!!
My blood pressure was good, 110/70 I believe. And we are just assuming I'm anemic because I was with Maddy and Izzy so Jeanne gave me the name of an amazing supplement that won't mess up my tummy. Ya!
They both said I look great and since I'm feeling great, things are GREAT! They told me to keep up the good work and they would see me in 2009! It looks like we'll have another appointment around the 5th of January and then the BIG ultrasound around the 15th!! I'm going to call the "Ultrasound Guy" at the beginning of the year to set up the appointment!!
Thanks for reading! I'm really pumped now, that sweet little baby is really there! And I'm so close to knowing what my little peanut is. I say girl!! Katheryn Anne Coker! But that's just my guess, I was wrong with Maddy AND Izzy, so who knows ;)

A wiggily Baby!
I have my third midwife appointment today. I'm so excited! We will be able to hear the baby's heartbeat today without much trouble! I'm so excited to hear that precious sound!
Yesterday I cleaned out my closet (Finally! Talk about a disaster area!) and it really pooped me out! So Justin took over and let me rest for a while. (God Bless that man, I swear he is too good to me!). And I felt the baby move!!! It is those tiny little punches/kicks and flutters almost like butterflies, but not! I've been feeling it ever since, off and on. It's like once it turns on it doesn't turn off! I LOVE those little kicks, thank-you God for those little kicks!!
I'm so releaved! Since we have decided that it is safest for the baby only to have one ultrasound (My midwives and I believe the research that shows that multiple ultrasounds have NOT been shown to be safe for unborn babies). And with Maddy and Izzy I had already had one ultrasound by now, so it's hard not to see that baby, even though I know it's the best. Feeling that movement just reassured me that my little peanut was ok!!
Isn't the miracle of conception to birth such a miracle???? I am 13 weeks pregnant and I can already feel this little peanut and hear the little heartbeat.....Wow, praise GOD!
My sister-in-law Kennye is due very soon!! She had an appointment a couple of weeks ago and little Hannah is gearing up and getting ready!! We are all sooooo excited to meet her! And Kennye is really doing well! It's so easy to get so run down at the very end of a pregnancy, and she's such a trooper! Her and Jared are going to be such GREAT parents! I can't wait until Bailey and Hannah get older so we can have a HUGE sleepover!!!!
On a side note, Izzy has learned how to open doors, Sigh. We have round door knobs and I was in the bathroom this morning and she came right on in! Agh! But I guess it's time! Haha, she's also speaking in sentences. Of course I don't really understand what she is saying, but every third word or so is "Izzy". Haha it's so funny! She's one amazing kid!
You should see Maddy's coloring skills. Wow, just suddenly she's developed this ability to color so well!!! I'll have to take a picture of the picture she colored at my moms. It's truly a georgous picture, we were all, quite frankly, shocked with the picture. It was beautiful! I knew this would be a big year of change, but I'm still in awe of how smart she is!
Well that is our update! I have commited myself to "babysitting" Maddy's "baby" so she can go to the grocery store....who knew I'd be a "gramma" at 24 hehehehe!! I LOVE Maddy's imagination!
