Blessed!

I decided to change the title up this week. Nothing extraordinary or unbelievable has happened this week but I feel blessed. I am fortunate for many of this things I do have in life and so thankful for even the many small things.  Like a roof over my head, a good job and great friends and family. So many times in the rush of things we forget what is important to us. I am truly blessed!

Its has been 2 weeks since I posted last and I will try to give you the run down on what has been going on around here in Montana.  First you may notice a new design! YAY! I think Sharon did a fabulous job and I am so excited with the way it turned out. It just makes me want to blog even more...that could be good or bad. So what else is new this week. Well guess who is here...

Dusty!!! He is here to stay with us again over the summer while both of my parents work in Yellowstone this year. I am really hoping I get to go down and visit but its not looking good. The whole can't leave Great Falls cause I can't be 30 min away from a Hospital is not helping my summer plans out to much.

Also these last couple of weeks I have been working on my Masters what seems to be constantly. I am only taking 2 classes at the moment but that is plenty.  Finals week is this week, so I submitted one classes final and group project already and just have to take a test on Thursday. Not going to lie the test makes me a little nervous. Its for Accounting and Math is not my strong subject. Hoping it goes well though.

This is my plan this week between work and studying. I bought some plants to put in some planters for my front porch. I am hoping they turn out well. Jeremy and I went to the local nursery yesterday and he helped pick out some of the plants and of course help carry them to the car. Its so much easier having him around. Love him! I will post a picture once I have them planted.

So the exciting thing for this week is our 20 week ultrasound! I will be at the half way mark on Friday! Our appointment is scheduled for Wednesday May 2nd. I was actually hesitant to put this on here because I am soooo nervous about it. I know I should be really excited because we get to see the baby and see the gender and everything, which I am excited but now I am more nervous than anything. I am have been praying a lot lately and really trying to put my full trust in God (why is it so difficult sometimes). I just keep thinking Trust in the Lord with all you heart and lean not on you own understanding.Well I have been reading a lot more into than that but just a thought I had. Anyway, if you have a few extra prayers to give please keep the 3 of us in them. I came back this last week with a couple positive blood tests and still have the placenta previa and abruption. I still feel really positive about things!! I know I said I am having a hard time putting full trust...its true. But to some level i feel a kind of trust I have never felt before (call me strange if you would like). I know I am usually a Debby downer but I still feel really great and positive just a little nervous. I am ready for a normal pregnancy and would love for a Dr to talk to me and give be great news and great feedback instead of emergency phone calls.  I know I am asking a lot but I am so ready for Wednesday to get here and so not at the same time! We can't wait to see the baby and just praying everything is well. (it has been about 6 weeks since my last ultrasound). Thank you in advance...and thank you for the many prayers already.

Here is a quick update for this week...

How Far Along: 19 weeks- I had Jeremy take a quick picture after work on Friday. Sorry you can't really tell much...trust me my stomach is starting to pop out. 

Total Weight Gain: Umm...probably around 7-8 lbs. No idea if that is normal or not. I guess I will know at the Dr this week. 

Maternity Clothes: I couldn't fit into my blues on Monday and had to wear a Flight Suit. Oh well! Thanks to Amanda S and Heather B I finally go out of the house and got a few maternity items and had a fun dinner.  I still need to get some jeans though. 

Sleep: Sleep like a rock! Hope that continues.

Best Moment this Week: Jeremy is home EVERY night! He got switched to an 8 hr job and I love it! It made my stress level go down a lot and just makes me feel so much better. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!

Miss Anything: Tons...but that's OK! I miss being able to exercise the most and being able to travel. But it is all worth it and in due time I will be back out running and hopefully able to get out of GF. 

Movement: Yes! I am finally able to feel it sometimes and its kind of an awesome feeling.  

Food Cravings: Still loving cheese! I could eat grilled cheese sandwiches everyday and everything else with cheese to go with it. 

Gender: Still think its a boy but we will know this week. Yippee!! The heart rate is usually between 145-150. Any guesses? 

Wedding rings on or off: Still on

Looking Forward To:  Normal...if it possible. I think it is so that's what I am praying for and looking forward too. I am excited to know the gender so we can come up with some names (we have some names we like already) and maybe even do a little shopping. We have bought 1 thing! We have time...right! 

Thanks everyone for checking in...I really appreciate you taking the time! Hope you have a great week, until next time!
