I already feel so stretched with three children, I don't know how I'll handle four. I don't feel like I meet everyone's needs as it is, and soon we'll have another person to care for. To provide for. And I'll be 40 when this little one gets here.
Ian continues to work hard to find employment but hasn't hit anything yet. Thankfully his employment insurance was finally approved this week. I'm praying for the perfect Ian Job to present itself soon but in the meantime he's rockin' the stay at home dad gig.
I've been having some weird dreams lately. I get up about every two hours to go to the washroom and then my dream picks up right where I left off. Last night I was dreaming about seal clubbing. Awful, right? I know! When I came back to bed I told Ian about my dream and that I hoped it didn't continue. It did...sort of. Instead of dreaming about seal clubbing... I dreamed the seals were clubbing....you know, in a club.
Sam and Ian are away on retreat this weekend with the jr high youth group. They're heading a couple of hours north to do all sorts of outdoorsy stuff in the freezing cold. Not sure what I'm going to do with the girls but we always have a special time together.
Last night I had a prenatal appointment and it went well. I weigh 13 lbs less than when the specialist weighed me a couple of months ago. I heard the baby's heart beating and kicking at the doppler thingy. I'm measuring right on target. The only downside of the appointment was that my blood pressure is up a bit more and he's doubled my medication. I'm trying to stay as calm as I can about things, and Ian is taking wonderful care of me and ensuring that I'm resting as often as possible.
Sam has different names for the baby at this point. If it's just moving then he calls it Squirming Steve. If it's kicking, then it's Kicking Kevin.
My temp assignment continues to go well. I met with the VP of Finance today and after the meeting he told me I was doing "a fantastic job, just terrific". It made me feel really good about what I'm doing there.
Last night I went to my mom's for dinner. She made my favourite casserole and it was so nice to spend time with her, catching up. I miss seeing her.
I love maccaroni and cheese, and I could eat it every single day. EVERY SINGLE DAY.
And that concludes my update.
Glad to hear your appointment went well and that your family is taking good care of you! Everything will work out just fine...you'll see! Hugs! ~The OTHER Pregnant Kate! :-)
ReplyDeleteThat was a wonderful update! So glad everything went well at your appointment yesterday!!
ReplyDeleteThat new little one will slide right into place.. God blessed you with this miracle baby and he will not let that baby go with out. He gave this child to you and Ian because he knew you two could love it and raise it in a Godly home.. everything else will fall into place.
Keep those feet propped up and the macaroni in the belly :) Hope to talk to you soon girlie.. ((HUGS))
Ha! I love how you ended this! I love mac n cheese too but it's gotta be cooked right, not boxed. :)
ReplyDeleteI'll be praying for you. Keep holding tight, God'll see you through.
I was missing your updates! Tyler is right...that little one will ease right in like she (he?) has always been there. Trust me, I know. I had those feelings too, and somehow, He always makes things work.
ReplyDeleteSoon, you won't be able to imagine a life without that little one...
Love ya!
Thanks for the 'drive by.' So glad baby & your job are doing well.
ReplyDeleteYour plate is super full--but God is gracious! Praying He'll supply all your needs from Ian's job to balance with four children! What a great testimony of God's grace that your boss sees what a great employee you are!
ReplyDeleteBy the way...I had a craving for egg salad today! Ah! If you lived close, I'd make a double batch to share! :)
