Just chillin'--Update #3

I wasn't going to leave an update today because there isn't much to update you on since yesterday. Actually, the contractions are not coming at all. I still do get the Braxton Hicks contractions but not the working ones much. They come sometimes throughout the day but not at all like the first night of early labor signs. As far as it looks and feels, no baby coming anytime soon. Unless my water brakes. I've had this happen one time before and that was with my last baby (#7-Ephraim).

I am carrying her so low. I have plenty of room to breath but she is so low in my womb that I wouldn't be surprised if my water broke. We'll see!!! You just never know. You can't judge how things will go by the other pregnancies. Every pregnancy is soooo different. I have learned this with each one of mine.

(This is the mood I am in today....Just Chillin')

For today, I am continuing to do some nesting and carrying for my other babies in the house. Trying not to focus on "WHEN" the baby will arrive. I am just chillin' here at home. I live in Florida so I am hoping for cooler weather. It has been "hot" these past few days (mid to upper 70's). I know that sounds gorgeous to some of you Northerners. I've been pregnant during the summer and I do prefer this weather way more than those hot 96*+ weather we get down here. This weekend it should be cooler, with a freeze a couple of days. Yay!!

So enjoy your day and kiss on all your babies. I am going to be enjoying each and every day of this pregnancy, since it will soon end. Pregnancy can be rough at times but there is something exciting in the "air" when the thought of a new baby arriving soon. :) It feels like Christmas all over again.

Blessings,

Chris

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, ...

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 ...

Turn that TV off!!

Finding time to blog has been a little tough lately. I don't know why. Maybe it's because I feel I don't have anything good to share but then again that would be totally out of character for me because I am one of those women who can talk your ear off for hours and share with you my life story. Truly! So.....not having anything to say is just a big excuse.....ok so maybe it is finding the time. As of late, I've been really, really striving to do the best I can in being a good steward over my time, children, and homemaking. My heart's desire is to have an orderly home, orderly children, and a peaceful atmosphere. There are those days where I dream of being in a place where life is a bit simple....where I don't have modern technology like computers, tv, game systems trying to grab the attention of my children. I don't know why this is so easy to "default" to when a "break" is needed or when I need some "alone time" or j...
