I am almost 29 weeks now!!! I can’t believe how fast it’s gone. I don’t do much these days. Between being unbelievably tired and not having a car still, I am usually home all day long during the week. I think it’s making me a bit stir crazy. I need to up my yoga, but I have been getting the danged Braxton hicks a lot and my preggie gym partner Deana was diagnosed with really low iron. So she is taking iron pills to try and get her levels back up. Until then she can’t really do the gym and I hate going by myself. Sigh…
Gracelyn is doing well though. I had an ultrasound last week and everything looks perfect. It’s comforting to hear, but all of Isabelle’s ultrasounds looked perfect as well. All I can do is pray that everything will be normal with her, and if not then pray for the strength to be able to handle it. Some days are just so hard. I wish we could find out what she has. I just don’t understand how the best specialists in the state haven’t been able to figure it out in the past year and a half. I always feel so bad about complaining. I know there are people who are having a hard time conceiving or have children with much more severe disabilities. In church on Sunday they talked about trials and how if we could see each other’s trials and trade with them we would probably want to keep our own. God gives us the easiest trials he can in order for us to learn the lessons we need in order to grow and get back to him.
In other news, we found a momma cat and three eyes-closed kittens in our yard a few days ago. We have put them in a box in our laundry room for now. Ben and I are both really allergic to cats, but what can you do? They are so cute! Our tortoise Humphrey is loving being free in our little front yard!! Ben is doing great with the bee keeping. He has learned how to catch swarms. We also got our first batch of orange blossom honey. It is delicious!!! We had biscuits from scratch with butter and honey after dinner last night. I think food always tastes better when you work for it like biscuits from scratch or vegetables from your garden. Honey is no different! It was so exciting to watch Ben make it.
Do you think food tastes better when you work for it?!

I wish that I could go to the gym with you! Oh well. Maybe I'll try to come over sometimes before Tim leaves for work :)
ReplyDeleteI am feeling better these last two days! So I'm thinking next week we can be gym buddies again :) Then we will feel much more productive. Its been so long since you had your car. I sure hope it gets fixed soon. Also you and Belle have the most gorgeous eyes! Love them.
ReplyDeleteAdriana, it would be so fun if you could join the gym with us!! Deana, I hope so I am going to get fat otherwise ha ha. I hope the car gets fixed too sigh... miss you.
ReplyDeleteHi my honey's! The testing is HIS truth, and is not to be angry or mean. HE gives us challenges to test our faith, and to as you said he also there is always someone is worse off. There are different types of "special" people, and hopefully we all can respect and treat those people kindness. Wish I could try your honey, it sounds delish. Kiss my nephew and great niece. You are all beautiful! Forever Love oxoxoxo
