We all know how awsome God is... and how great of a sense of humor that he has... WELL, through everything in our lives over the past 4 months, God once again is telling us that he is the one in control, not us. We all so often give God our troubles one minute and the next minute we start worrying or obsessing over them and then find ourselves giving it back to God. Mark and I always seem to learn things the hard way. About 4 weeks ago I was sick "in bed" with what I thought was a "stomach virus". After being sick for 8 days, I went to the doctor. He was puzzled by my description of my discomfort. He told me to take some laxatives over the weekend to see if I could flush the virus out of my system and if I wasn't better my Tues. to call and come back. Well, I was no better by Tues. I had nausea, fatigue and unable to get out of bed. I went back to the doctor and had an appt. with his partner. She listened to my symptoms and said that she was going to order a gallbladder ultrasound and some GI work. Then she proceed to ask me some personal questions and I explained to her that I could not be pregnant because Mark had a vasetomy over the summer. She proceeded to tell me that we should do a pregnancy test just to make sure. I agreed and laughed at her as she left the room. She returned shortly after with a huge grin on her face, I felt this over whelmimg heat flash over my body and I felt like I was going to pass out. I knew what she was going to say before she said it. I proceeded to tell her that, this is not funny and not to be joking with me. She wasn't joking... we have a little miracle baby on the way. Wow, I feel too old for this. We know that God has his hand in our lives and he is going to take care of us through this time. I am 10 weeks 2 days today. I am now medicated for my nausea day and night. Please pray that this will end soon so that I can see and feel the joy of this miracle in our lives.
Ethan set out carrots for the reindeer. He was upset that they did not eat ALL of the carrots. Our house woke up really early this morning. I think Ashton was up going to the bathroom around 6am. He came into our room at around 7am. I told him it was too early to go back to bed. Ethan was up not long after that. We couldn't hold them back any longer. Ashton, of course was like a bull in a china closet. We had to take a break from opening gifs to get breakfast and medication. They were both very excited about every gift that they opened. Every time Ethan opened a gift he would say, " this is just what I wanted". He is not hard to please. Ashton was happy with everything that he received. The rollerblades and ramp are probably his favorite.
