I hate shopping!!

Some things I am good at, others, I am not! Shopping is one of those things I am not good at. Many of my friends love shopping. Some find it fun or theraputic. Not me!! I just get frustrated, overwhelmed, and lonely (if I'm alone). I don't like being alone. Tonight, I attempted to shop wisely with coupons. It was a total failure. I bought things I wouldn't normally buy . . . because I had a coupon. Next time, I will stick to my list, let the coupons fit my list. Anyway, GrrrRRRRrrr!!! That was frustrating! :o/

7 weeks on Sunday!

We had the sonogram yesterday, and found out I will be 7 weeks on Sunday. Our estimated due date is November 8th. So, I'm not as far along as I thought I was. I'm a little disappointed because I've never pooched this early before. It makes me just feel fat. I mean the baby is the size of a tic tac! Anyway, everything looked good. That was exiting! Our baby has eye spots now, and buds for arms and legs. It really is amazing how we are created! God cares about this little tic tac in my womb. It is so good to know what stage I am at. Now I'm looking at the right pictures in the stages of baby developement. It is really awesome for our children as well. I didn't have a tic tac to show them. So, I showed them a whole allspice. I could tell they enjoyed having that visual. My little girl loves that little allspice as if it were the real baby!

We get to see the baby today!!

Today we are going in for a sonogram to find out how far along our baby is. We are so exited! I'm already pooching. So, I think we will find out that I'm about 10 weeks along. I'll post more tonight!

Housing a Soul

Last Sunday, we found out that we are expecting our fourth child. But, I wonder if that's the right way to say it. We are so exited at the thought of adding another "arrow to our quiver", but has God really promised us that? All we have is this moment. Tomorrow is not a guarantee for anyone. All I can know for sure is that God has chosen to use my body to create and house a soul right now. That is such an honor. We did not have the oppurtunity to share a life on this earth with our first baby. God created that precious soul in me. I housed that soul for 6 1/2 weeks. Then God took our little treasure right up to is arms. Now our child worships at the feet of Jesus for eternity. We chose to name our baby Faith because we felt that was what God was teaching us through our loss. Since then, we have had a boy, a girl, another boy, and now I am housing another soul. Yes I say I'm expecting. I'm just challenging the wording. Should I be "expecting" or should I just be thankful for each moment God lets me share with this precious soul whose body is growing within me? Thank you Jesus for this moment.
