My world on bedrest

I was afraid this day would come but I so hoped it wouldn't. I seem to hit a point in all my pregnancies that I start contracting way too soon. That day has come again. I started getting uncomfortable on Sunday. By Sunday evening I had to call my midwife for advice. After finishing all the cramp bark I had they finally stopped. Monday I rested all morning and then took a shower in the afternoon. About an hour later after sitting on the couch for a little while they were back again. A wine cooler and a hot bath helped. Tuesday and Wednesday I spent in bed. I hate it. It really stresses my family. I am trying to research what could cause this. I am trying to eat more protein and watch my diet more closely. I really want to be up and part of my family. This seems really hard at this time of year. I keep telling myself it would be worse if the baby comes early and I have to spend the holidays at the hospital. T was born at the end of 31 weeks and I am at 31 1/2 weeks so that makes me even more nervous. Lord please help this baby stay where he needs to be until he is healthy enough to be born.

Another Crazy Day

Well it's been another crazy day in my world. We had our church youth group spend the night after taking them to a concert. All but one just left. I think I can almost hear myself think now. Miss A is sick. Fever of 102 and a nasty headache. Mr B took all the kids home and then took Mr N to a friends to spend the night and go paint balling tomorrow and take Mr J tohis end of season football party. We were suppose to have a garage sale with the youth group but it was raining this morning. Thank the Lord for rain. I am ready to rest now. Hope everyone else is having a great and restful weekend.

Coffee Crazy

I have a coffee crazy two year old. Every morning when he gets up he comes to find me. Not for a snuggle or a kiss. No... for my coffee. He comes to me with little sleep filled eyes and his first word for the day is "boppee". I have to fight him for what ever is left in my cup. It is not really only coffee. It is anything in a mug. It may be coffee, hot tea, cocoa, anything warm. Now don't worry, I really limit how much he gets. It does make me laugh though. I am not loved because I am mommy I am loved for my boppee. And I love him and my boppee.

The world is quiet

Not much new here. The world is still quiet. My family is still sleeping. The animals are still sleeping. It is just me and my Jesus so far this morning.
I love this time of morning. Quite does not happen very much around here. Soon little ones will stir and I will hear "Mommy, whats for breakfast?" For now, it is my turn to play. I am off to find more creative ideas to be inspired by.
Oops, I hear little feet. I guess the quiet is over. Does anyone know whats for breakfast?

Welcome to the World of Me and Mine

Hello everyone. I am Me and this is my little part of the world. I have been reading blogs for a long time. I steal lots of ideas but I did not have a blog so I could not share my ideas with you. It is time too change all that. My oldest daughter L is teaching herself web design and java script so she will be helping me alot. Don't you love self motivated kids.
About my kids I have 7. L is my independent beautiful child who is all about Jesus. N is my oldest son. He is a football star and king of all electronics in our home. A is next. She is our princess. She loves dancing, singing and all things girly. J is the next boy. He is always going. He too plays football and does great. E is the baby girl. She like her big sis is very independent. She loves being outside and doing school with the big kids. T is the current baby boy. He thinks he is THE BABY. He loves to ride on the riding lawn mower (aka mow mow) with Dad and N and anything with wheels. G is coming to join all the fun around the middle of Feb if all goes well. God is still forming this little man so I only know him by his very active movements at this point. We can't wait to meet him.
I am very blessed to be the wife of my kids dad B. He is my best friend. He is an incredible cook and is currently smoking us a wild hog. YUM YUM. Last weekend he installed a new fireplace insert in our school room. It is beautiful. He still makes my heart flutter after 16 1/2 years of marriage. He directs the youth group at our church and leads the children and I in a closer walk with the Lord every day.
Me, I am the mom and the wife in my world. I am a daughter of the Most High God most importantly. I try daily to be better at all the roles God has given me to in this life. It is not always easy and I frequently fail, but His mercy is new everyday so I keep trying.
I really enjoy reading eveyones blogs and hope you will find something interesting here.
