• This IS the day the Lord has made let us rejoice & be glad in it!

  
  

  On that note.  Its my goal for the next 10 weeks.  Each day is a good day!  Its a day the baby stayed inside growing & getting healthy.  Its a day my other kids grew & learned & stretched their wings. 

  
  

  My mom has just announced that on Wednesdays until their homeschool organization starts up she’s gonna kidnap my kids after their nap.  Now that just REALLY hurts my feelings   NOT!  They’ll love it, I’ll get a break.  WOO HOO!

  
  

  Rob got up out of bed and laid right back down.  He has a headache bad enough that he threw up.  I’m hoping he’s not got the flu just over did it yesterday.  Sooooooo he’s off work today.  And in bed.  He claims he’ll be getting up later.  We’ll see.  I cringed girded my belly and went & got some firewood (just enough for the fire RIGHT now)  May have to do it again.  *sigh*  Don’t worry I’m carrying small loads.  We HAVE to have heat.  

  
  

  Kaylin did VERY well in her “new” room.  Rob has the wall almost all the way up.  Just a couple pieces of sheet-rock short.  And that shouldn’t take him very long at all.  So we almost have a bedroom again–not a bedroom/recroom/laundry room.  LOL

  
  

  He has announced he will NOT be doing any more building until after the baby is born.  I agreed.  Agreed BEFORE this project.  But we did NEED the wall, and he would have resented me telling him NOT to work.  So I actually was a teensy wise in the handling of that.

  
  

  I talked to my midwife yesterday.  As I faced another all day onslaught of contractions.  (in tears at some points).  We decided not to freak.  HAHAHA.  And she gave me permission to take some ibprofen if things get too achey. 

  
  

  I am allowing myself tears when I’m in pain.  But I will NOT allow myself to have another pity party.  I knew that ptl was a chance I took when I got prego.  Or a 2 month early labor as the case may be.  So I will rejoice in this too.  I spent 98% of my last pregnancy resenting all my aches and pains.  And realized how much I’d missed.   

  
  

  I was VERY VERy good yesterday and I still had a LOT of very timeable contractions.  So have my doubts that being good is proving anything.  But I guess…I’ll continue to be (mostly) good.

  
  

  I wasn’t supposed to have another midwife appointment until February….but it looks like I’m going to every two weeks a little bit early.  So we scheduled one next week.  Where I will be having a feber/fiber nectin spelling???  test.  It determines whether it really is pre-term-labor.  (theory is)  And of course another internal.  I have a feeling…..I’ll be having a LOT of internals.  *joy*  bwahahahaha

  
  

  I was really really enjoying a not traumatic non-dramatic pregnancy btw.    Oh well.

  
  

  My kids are watching Clifford.  They are getting more then their fair share of tv.  But poor guys…their housebound along with me.   

  
  

  Father God, I need you to help me to stay strong.  I need you to give me the JOY of my salvation.  I thank you for your love.  In your sons name, Amen
