Kris :: Blog

So it's been way too long since I last blogged...
Ah, life has been pretty good lately. I didn't know what to title the blog, so I chose how far along I am. I have to apologize to my friends for not being such a great friend lately. I'd love to hang out more, but I'm sure you wouldn't appreciate my puking everyday. I think and hope and pray that this morning/all day sickness will be over this week. Though, I never thought I would be thankful for being so sick. A sick momma means a healthy baby. :)

I'm technically 12w1d according to LMP. but Baxter is measuring one week ahead. That means the due date was moved one week to April 28. I'm sure the baby will continue to grow big and strong. I should be able to feel movement within the next few weeks, and I cannot wait. My next appointment is November 5, which includes another ultrasound. The doctor wants to see if the placenta migrates from being right on top of the cervix (complete placenta previa) to the side of the uterus where it should be. Please pray that things will be where they need to be. Baxter is healthy, though, and that is what matters the most to us.

I went to a Ladies' Retreat in Grafton, WV (Tygart Park) this past weekend and it was so beautiful there. The leaves were changing and the mountains were echoing the beauty of fall. It made me feel like a child again. The speaker was very good, but I think what I appreciated the most was the scenery so colorfully painted by our Creator. With a palate of reds, oranges, greens, browns, and some purples, He dabbled the scenery with such brilliance and splendor.

Oh, yes, before I forget, we're looking at houses in the neighborhood. We decided that for the rent we pay now, we might as well pay a house payment, which is half the amount. We're not moving away; hopefully a few streets over! That's my life in a nutshell, for now. :) And... we signed on the house today. Hopefully everything works out so we'll be in there for Thanksgiving!!

Not tonight, not ever. I know people say I'm wrong but people have been wrong too, far too often. And I think maybe this heart was made just to break, maybe it was. And maybe I just need to take another pill. And maybe none of this is real, none of this is real....

But that's not how I feel.

This group was a great Idea!  Now if we could only get some more people to sign up.

Psalm 42 (New International Version)

I often switch the thinking in my brain to a much lesser analytical spin,

Today was much different,

I had discovered too much tinkering with one project had left me yearning all day for more knowledge,

Little did I know how deeply I would get into the bible,

Thoughts of creation became part of a film with the stars Adam and Eve,

The Tree of Knowledge eaten from by these two,

Sin described in detail in Genesis,

A beginning to the bible,

So much to study,

So MUCH GROUND TO cover!

Oh my heart leapt!

 

I don't know why I keep posting every 10-11 days. I guess something new happens during those intervals. Actually, nothing very exciting has happened; I just wanted to add to my blog. I've been reading Beverly Lewis' Abram's Daughters Series, and it's quite good. I am addicted to them-- Book 5/5 now. I've still been exercising every-every other day. I guess I've finally disciplined myself enough to stick to something. It's way hot in here now, so it's time for either a shower or just to keep reading my book. Later.
