Starting to Feel Pregnant!!

I am starting to feel pregnant. What does this mean---well for some of you pregnant and formerly pregnant moms know what I mean---Nauseated all day, sleepy and moody. Yes all the lovely symptoms of a blessing being knit in my womb. But I can't complain--I need to REJOICE in the life that is within me---The life the Lord has created.

What can I do during this time to feel better--- I need to drink lots of water, eat plenty of fruits and veggies, and exercise. These are critical things I need to do to prepare my body for the Big Day in September--- The day I will experience the most intense workout in my life. I need to train my body for this event. Have I started?--Not exactly. For now I am just thinking about what I will do. Ha ha ha. But above all the natural ways of caring for my body, I need to care for my spiritual body--- Feeding myself with the Word and praying and rejoicing in His goodness. Then I can have the strength to act upon the physical.

My prayer is to be fit spiritually and physically. Only by the Lord's help can I even begin to accomplish this. So exercising my spirit will bring the beginnings of the physical exercise---Do I make sense or am I just a pregnant mom speaking here.

Gotta Run because my six wonderful children need me---And maybe today I will pull out the fitness video or take the walk.

Blessings

P.S. Sorry the Shabbat Pictures have not been posted we have had some technical issues---They were downloaded on MIL's computer by accident and deleted from the camera. I will post some soon, hopefully

Oh I know the feeling OH so well!!! I am now ending my time with pregnacies.. I am hoping and praying that at least one more will be in God's will for me.
I do know that after my miscarrages I had a great respect for being sick as I knew the baby is getting what he or she needs.
I do think that taking the pregnacy in stages is the best. Do excercise but also rest in this stage. Rest both in the Lord and phyically.
Well my kiddos are in need of me.
BLessings, Beth

What Makes us Better Mothers? How do we View others?

What makes us better mothers? Do you homeschool or send your kids to school? Do you cloth diaper, use disposables or both? Do you breastfeed, bottle feed or both? Do you home birth, hospital birth or done both? Do you natural birth, use epidurals, or done both? Do you cook with whole foods or open up a box of Kraft Mac and Cheese? Do you home church or are a member of mega church? Do you wear a head covering, long skirts or have short hair and wear trendy clothes? Do you do attachment parenting or let your babies cry to sleep? Do you have 2 children or 20? Do you use birth control or not? Do you live on your own land/farm or do you live in a small apartment? Do you work or stay home with the kids? Do you immunize or never dare to inject your child? I am going to be very transparent and open with you all. I don't know if it's just hormones but what I have swimming in my heart and mind lately needs to come out. So this is the case for my posting this side of me. I know we can ...

Joyful Mother wasn't very Joyful....

A short little post to let you know I AM OK!!  I know the last post was rather hopeless than hopeful.   I am doing much better and I do feel like there has been a bit of a breakthrough in my attitude.  I have been letting every little thing on this journey bother me so very much.  It doesn't matter what it wass....it was bothering me.  I was even snappy to my mother-in-law the other day and it wasn't very pretty or Christ Like at all!!  :(    I am so very thankful my mom-in-law loves me unconditionally and embraces me even when I am ugly.  Seriously!  I was letting everything bother me!!  I had been making myself out to be a burden or a "visitor" rather than a daughter.  I wasn't allowing myself to be accepted rather I was making myself out to be a burden.  A burden that no one had put on me.  I did this to myself by listening to the enemy's lies.  After a good talk with my mom-in-law and with the Lord, ...

She is Here!! Welcome Ana Karisa!!

Just a quick update to let you know we had the baby!!  Yay!!!! :D Here name:  Ana Karisa (pronounced  A-nah  Ka-ree-sah  ) Born: January 30 at 9:15 PM Weight:  7'2 oz  19 inches  Beautiful little girl.   Here are some pictures and when I start feeling normal and not so much like a milk cow, then I will post the details of what took place on Delivery day. ( Ana about 5 minutes old) (Here she after her check up--about 30 minutes old)   (Coming home!!  1 1/2 days old) We came home yesterday late afternoon, and I am lacking much sleep.  I really haven't slept since last Saturday.   She is nursing a lot right now to bring down my milk.  I've been nursing around the clock.  Almost every hour.  I am doing this because she has been hungry and I need my milk to come in as soon as possible.  I am showing signs today of it coming in.  She is not so fussy and more content.   It is so easy to forget about those newborn days.  It doesn't matter how many babies you have had in the pas...
