Spring Break!

I thought it'd never come, but I am officially on SPRING BREAK!!!  Ya-hooo!!!!  We really don't have much planned for the 2 weeks I'm off besides working on our backyard and fixing that up.  I've develop a recent interest in gardening, so have been planting up a storm!  Now, a lot of my seedlings need to be replanted.  It's so exciting to watch the growth process (I'm weird, I know!).  It just makes me appreciate the small things so much more.  It also keeps me in constant awe of how God takes a little seed (dead) and grows it (gives it life).  How often do I forget how "dead" I was, before choosing to follow after Him.

I'm including some pictures below of what we've all been up to this past month or so.

Praise Report

Baby princess and I had another ultrasound yesterday afternoon, and Praise God!!!  They found her stomach!  She is one BUSY girl!  I have my Dr. appt. on Thursday (1 week from today) to go over everything else.  Everything looks good though with measuring 1 week large.  Thank you for praying for us!

Now, we trying to "patiently" wait on the Lord to bring a response about Tim's interview he had about a week and a half ago.  :)

Pampered Chef Show

I would like to trade shows with you! If you are able to host a Pampered Chef show (cooking or catalog show) for me, I will return the favor! It can be as simple as passing around a catalog for me and collecting $150 worth of orders! Message me if you are interested!

Baby Week at CVS!

It's Baby Week at CVS!  This week spend $25 in select baby products and get a free umbrella stroller!  Umbrella stroller is Cosco brand.

I also got a freebie coupon in my e-mail for candy (up to $2) and got a $1 off cereal (when I scanned my CVS card).  Below is my loot...just over $6.

Prayer Requests

It has been an exciting, but rough week!  On Friday evening, another niece was born AND we found out we are having another GIRL!!!  We are so thrilled, especially Tim, who is just over the moon!  We're still trying to agree on names. :)

I had my Doctor's appointment yesterday afternoon that did not go at all as planned.  I have to redo the ultrasound because they could not see the baby's stomach.  Now, this could be due to the baby's position or something blocking the view.  Kinda freaked me out, but will pray and wait.  My second ultrasound is in 3 weeks.  The next think I found out was that I quite possibly have a kidney stone.  When I gave my urine sample at the Dr.'s office, it was pretty much pink.  Totally freaked me out.  The doctor said there is A LOT of blood in my urine.  I'm supposed to call if there is a lot of pain so they can do a stone treatment - which I am thankful I am not in!  I've been ordered to drink A LOT of water to help dilute things.  The doctors really don't want to do much if possibly since I'm pregnant.  CAT scan is a NO because of radiation, and ultrasounds are not the most reliable to detect the stone.  SO we pray and wait... 

Work has gone from crazy to INSANE. 

Please pray I will stay calm and not let the cares of this world make me unstable.  Pray for a GOOD ultrasound of Baby Princess in a few weeks.  Pray also with this issue with the kidney stone.
