Happy Memorial Day!!!!!

Thank you
To all who've served our country,
The good old U. S. A.,
And served in the Armed Forces,
Both near and far away,
And those who now are serving,
To keep our country free,
We thank you, more than words can say,
For our sweet liberty.

We know it's been a struggle,
And great sacrifice, too,
To be away from those you love,
And also who love you,
To keep America free from those
Who want to here enslave
The good people of America,
And many now lie in the grave,

Who've given their last measure,
To keep America free,
And many suffer hardships,
From sea to shining sea,
Who were wounded in the battles of
The present and the past,
And some of them are homeless,
And feeling outcast.

We owe a debt of gratitude
To each, and every one,
Who's served our country faithfully,
For victories they've won
Against America's enemies,
Who would enslave us here,
And rob us of our freedom,
Which to our hearts is dear.

May God bless America,
The land of the free,
And bless the Armed Forces,
Wherever they may be,
And may we honor all who've served
The cause of freedom, too,
Who love this land, America,
And our Red, White and Blue.

I am a huge supporter of our troops. I can not imagine what they must go through from day to day. My best friends brother is in the marines. I am so proud of him. He just got back from Iraq. I am so thankful he came home safely.

I tried to upload a video but it wouldnt work for some reason. So, maybe it will work later.

In other news, I am just waiting for my water to break. I thought for sure it would have broken by now because I have been doing a lot of walking & trying to be as active as possible. I even went out on Justin's boat twice in one day. It still didnt work. So, who knows...........I guess she will come when she wants to. Regardless she will be here this week. I just need to be patient.

Waiting Game

I had a doc apt today & Lyberti is doing GREAT!!! They scheduled my induction for June 1. I will go in at 8pm they want to monitor me thru the night & then on Thursday morning they will start giving me the drugs to make me progress. If I make it till next week. My doc checked me today & I am 1cm to 2cm & I am 70% effaced. Her head is really really low. So, my doc thinks I really could go anytime but she decided to schedule the induction anyways just incase. She told me to come home & pack my bags........lol so I did half way. We went for a walk after my doc apt to try & help thin me out even more. I started having a contraction while we were walking so I had to stop for a few min till it subsided. I am exctied that I might go on my own because thats really what I wanted anyway. At the same time its bitter sweet because my pregnacy could end any day. So, I guess we will see what Lyberti wants to do. I no I am going to miss being pregnant. Oh well life must go on. At least I have the reward God has blessed us with. Our preciouse little girl.

Other than that not a whole lot going on. Saidie is geting ready to have her pups. I think she should have them next week. So, we will see which one of us will have our babies 1st :)

I am so thankful that God is molding me & making me each and everyday!!! What an awesome God we serve.

My Baby Shower!!!!!!!!!!

So, my baby shower went GREAT!!!!! everyone was so generous. Libby got 5 baskets full of clothes plus more goodies for her & we got a good start on diapers and wipes. Thank the Lord. We are both ever so thankful for everything. Here are some pics of my shower.













I am so overwhelmed & stressed. I have been trying to get Libbys room organized & I am not sure when my doc plans to induce me. I have to go get a test done on Thursday & if the results are not good she is going to induce me on Thursday :( I just keep praying everything goes good. I really would like to try & carry her for 2 more weeks. My doc already told me that she is not going to let me go to my due date. She said she is going to defiantly induce me at 37 or 38 weeks & I am 36 now. So I am anxious to see her but I am just scarred because I dont know what to expect. I just keep praying Gods will because he know the future & whats best for Libby & I both.

God is so Good

This Sunday we had a great turn out at church for mothers day. Both sets of my Grandparents came to church. Which is good they all need the Lord. We normally have a mothers day program but this year Sis Janis (our pastors wife) decided that she wanted to do something different & let Bro. Scott preach half of the service. The message was such an encouragement & blessing to me. He preached on Prob 31. Its an awesome chapter but my favorite to verses are verse 10 "Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies." and verse 28 "Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her." This chapter challenges me more and more to be a strong Godly wife & mother. With God we can do what he has called us to do.

I had not a clue what to get my mom for mothers day except a card. So, I decided I would spend the night with her & go with her to the nursing home on Mon where she volunteers & does bible study with the residents. I was curious how it would go at the nursing home because I actually use to work there & when I got hurt on the job last summer I really didnt leave on a good note, but everything went fine all of the residents and staff were happy to see me & my belly......lol. I thought it might make me miss working there but it didnt. It made me more thankful I dont because there is no way I would be able to do the back breaking work. My body cant handel it. I had to learn that the hard way. Oh well my mom loved it that I stayed. She misses me so much. She calls me about everyday but I understand its not like having me there. I do miss her to but I also really enjoy being married and having my own home. So, I am kinda caught in the middle.....lol

The weather is strarting to break. Thank goodness. Hopeful the rain stops for a few more days as well. So far we have not had any the past 3 or 4 days. Its been warm enough for me to open some of the windows in the house. There is nothing like having fresh air blowing thru the house. I love having the windows open :)

I think that is about it. Not much more going on Oh Jusin is getting put on 1st.........Praise the Lord :) He came home this morning & told me I almost jumped out of bed but I was nice & warm & I didnt want to move.....lol I am so thankful for God answering prayer. I am happy he will be able to rest his body needs untill Libby comes.......lol. I told him Saidie & I are not going to no what to do when we have to start sharing the bed at night.......lol he thought that was funny!

Here are the pics of Libbys curtins in her room & a cute pic I took of Saidie this weekend. I tried to take a pic on Libbys swing but my camra went dead right before I went to take it. After it charges I will take a pic.

Exhosted!!!!!!!

WOW!!! I am so tiered. I had a lot of running around to do today. I wish Justin could have went with me so he could help but he has been working a lot of overtime & he needed to get some rest. I couldnt wait any longer tho we needed groceries & I couldnt put it off any longer. So, I went I felt like I was gone ALL DAY it took me for ever because I cant walk very fast & plus I am a bargain shopper. So, I had my coupons all the grocery ads from around town my calculator & grocery list. I tried to stay out of peoples way. They were all looking at me kinda funny having all that stuff streched out & me punching away on my calculator......lol It prob is best I went by myself because I hate having people waiting on me. I think the savings are worth doing all that homework as I put it!

I picked Libbys Winnie the Pooh swing up today too. Friends of ours at church who had there baby back in Dec gave it to me because Estella has out grown it already. I am so thankful. Every little bit help when people just gives you big items like that. I will post a pic of the swing when we get it put together. I tried to do it myself but I couldnt I need Justins help!

I do belive that is it..........untill next time :)

Bitter Sweet

Passing out tracks went Great!!! we had a good turn out to come help. Justin was happy so many people came out. He seemed nervous but he did a good job organizing & sending people where he wanted them to go. I was able to walk the whole time :) I was proud of myself. My mom Justin & I were all in a group.......I think he did it on purpose.......lol but oh well I did good. I was just a lot slower than they were........lol

We got Libbys Stroller & Car seat it is so cute. I love it!!!! Her room is done! I just have to get her Winnie the Pooh curtain hung up. The lady at church that is making them for me does not have them finished yet.

I went to the doc yesterday and everything is okay. Libby and I are having a hard time gaining the weight I should be and my doc is concerned. She knows I am small so I guess she is more worried about Libby because I am not getting bigger. So, she scheduled another ultra sound. I pray everything is okay because if she is not getting any bigger my doc is going to take her early so she can get the nutrition she needs. I guess my body is not giving her what she needs :( I am so scarred I pray our baby is okay. I feel so worthless because I cant help our baby. I am trying to eat as much high calorie food I can but I dont want to eat junk food either. I just keep praying & I am trying to trust God. It is just hard :( Please pray for us. Justin does not seem to worried he keeps telling me everything is okay & Libby is fine. I know he is prob right but I cant help but worrie or be concerned.

Other than that I think that is about it here are some pics of Libbys room & car seat, Saidie making herself confy on Libbys changing table, & my flowering trees.......lol
