Expecting and Kids

We are expecting!  I felt excited but yet scared too when the test came back positive on Holy Thursday.  But I knew I had to trust in our Lord. 

Baby is due in December.  And yes I do have morning sickness.  But this time I am so thankful that I am sick.  It isn't easy though.  I am also really tired. So right now I just listen to my body and know when I have to lay down.  Most importantly I try to take the time to thank God for all He has given to me. 

The four school kids are busy with the final days of school approaching.  Hannah has her 9th birthday on 5/17.  She was my biggest baby, weighing in at 8lbs. 10.5oz.  Brady is busy with Boy Scouts and baseball practice that Dusty coaches.  He is also busy at socializing with his friends which has consequences in school. 

Emma starts the day at St. Francis for religion but then hops on a bus for Kensler Elementary.  She was showing signs of needing extra one on one help.  So in April we had an IEP meeting.  We decided that it would be best to start her now, even though there was only 6 weeks of school left.  But to me better to get help now then wait.  What an improvement I see in her reading/language.

Being a mother has its many challenges and struggles but it is the hugs and I love you's that make my heart melt. 

Today I praise and thank the Lord above for all He has given to me.
