One of many things to be thankful for

For those of you that do not know, I was not supposed to have anymore children because of my health. After Matthew and Ella, I always knew that there was a child missing from our family. I would tell Steven all the time that we needed to have another baby. I knew there was another child waiting to come into our family.

I had not been on birth control for years and I do not get pregnant easily. I had go to the OB in Nov. for an annual check-up and ask for fertility med. I told Steven. He was not excited about the idea (he was worried about me) to say the least. I was very hurt but didn't want to do something without my husbands approval or blessing. I thought about it for a day or so and then I got down on my knees while he was at work and prayed to Heavenly Father about what to do? I told him that I wanted a baby and I felt that one was waiting for us. I said that I would not take the medication and if its meant to be I will get pregnant. I left my prayer in the Lord's hands and did not tell my husband about it. I filed the Rx away and did not think about it for 2 months when I found out that I was expecting our third baby! I then told Steven about my prayer and he asked me why I didn't tell him before. I told him that I knew he didn't want me to have anymore so I did it with out him. I was so scared to be pregnant and I was not sure what he would think. He came to me and told me that it was going to be OK. This was the baby that I had been talking about for years and was waiting to come to our family.

I walk around my house tonight checking on my kids and think about how blessed I am to have 3 healthy, active, and loving kids in my life. I count my blessings all the time and should count them even more.

Santa came early this year!

I have been needing and wanting a new laptop for the past year or more. Mine has finally stopped working and my husband is tired of hearing me cry, complain and so on about it. I also think he is tried of sharing his work laptop with me at night. So he bought me one, a Brand New Laptop of my very own. He surprised me with it last night and stayed up till the wee morning getting it set up for me. Thank you Steven/Santa for this great gift!

I guess I have no more excuses for not blogging!?

thatI was hoping for 9:29am and the Dr. said that it would have
happened but his shoulders where stuck and it took longer to get him out!


Nane (my mom) came to visit and help out with the kids.

Thanks Mom for all your help!
