Thank you Toni
Many of you here may not know my friend Toni personally, but I wanted to come and post a special thank you to her.
Yesterday as I was waiting in the hospital to come home, my doe Magnolia couldn't wait for me any longer. My son Wes was here to witness the birth of two healthy buck kids and as Mark says the judgement call was my own , so I called Toni just incase something went wrong in her birthing the kids she was to have. Our friendship began years ago when she wrote me to ask about Mini Nubians and Sept 2006 she boarded my trio of them that came from OK untill we got moved up here to Red Creek and settled in our new home. Toni lives only about 7 miles from me via the backroads and I am and will be so thankful that the Lord brought her into my life. She is truely only a phone call away and comes and does things most folks wouldnt do. She has fed my goats and checked on them many times and she comes if I need her help with things. She does a good job at disbudding kids, birthing kids and she is truely a real and wonderful friend. We both love
our goats and our children. We both seem to have a like for fun things like antiquing and auctions, finding treasures to use and have in the home. We both like Country Things. We at times can talk for hours on any of the above subjects...If we only had time to talk more often. We come to see each others kids when born and talk about their care.
She was so sweet to gift me last year with a DeVal Milk Pail that hooks up to a milking machine, someday I may have the machine to use it with, but it sits in my diningroom reminding me of things past and things to come. I went to an auction last year and bought her 6 runner ducklings, knowing she was looking for them, she recently started getting her first eggs from them. She traded me Red Hens for them and they are all laying also. Having Country Folks you can count on in time of need is a great thing.
So, Toni, thank you for always being there and always just a phone call away. That doe being saved means so much to me and without you here to pull her since she was breech, she may have been lost. Toni has Nubians with some really impressive Milk lines. She also has a Mini Nubian doe. She loves her nubians a bit more now then the mini's but I guess I just like my Nubians on the tiny side. They are both wonderful milk goats. I hope that each of you has a Toni you can call on , in your lives...
I am blessed to be able to call Toni, friend.
Blessings and much love

27 weeks and counting... 13 to go !
Time just is flying by with this pregnancy, seems only yesterday that I found out we were exspecting and now
here it is 13 weeks away till Daniel is born. Each Day is a blessing and each kick and movement is a joy to me.
So far I have gained 10 lbs. I was 256 and am still only 253, so I feel good that I lost some before gaining any.
If Daniel is anything like his big sisters he will be 9 lbs or bigger, Faith was 8.15 1/2 and Hope was 9.8 1/2.
My blood pressure has been wonderful and I had my glucose tollerance test done last week, so all is well
thus far and we are thankful for our new son to be born January 28th 2008.

Embrasing Children even in the later years...
A very sweet freind named Patti said that seeing women like myself embracing children even at my age (43) as the Lord blesses my womb, was a blessing to her. Patti, the Lord has plans for each of us, the bible says " He makes the barren women the joyful mother of children". My children are DD 24, DD 20, DS 18, DS 14, DD 5 and DD 4 and our newest blessing due in January 2008 DS. Between DS 18 and DS 14 I miscarried in 1991. In 2001 we lost another to miscarriage and Again between DD 4 and the new blessing DS due in January, we lost 3 more to miscarriage.
You start to wonder if you will ever be able to carry babies to full term again, miscarriage and infertility are hard burdens to bare. I am the oldest of 7 in my family, having so many siblings and being from a large family made me desire whatever size family the Lord would give me. I wasn't always quiverful minded, as I was in an abusive marriage from 1986 to 2000.
So I kept saying when I am 30 I will be done having children... But the Lord changed something in my heart back then and well the desire for my blessings has never gone away. There are times I have set it aside and learned not to dwell on it.
Knowing that the whole time the Lord would have his will in my life, no matter how old I was. Well as I said, when you miscarry so many blessings and there is no apparent reason but Dr's keep telling you Oh it is natural as your getting older you know, your over 40 now..... It wasn't what I wanted to hear, nor was it what I believed to be true, as my own mother never miscarried once and she had 7 of us and my " little sister" was born when my mom was almost 45. Not to mention that she and my grandmother never went through menopause till 55 or so. So why would I think that what I was going through was normal for my life or any womans life. I questioned the validity of my Dr and midwife at the times statements. I asked for testing on my internal functions and this year after another miscarriage in February 2007, I asked for my hormone levels to be tested. All my OB said were within normal range to be able to get pregnant still, but you get that same old speech about the risk of having downs babies and the like. OK so if my hormones were ok , what was wrong ? Well about two years ago a friend suggested that I might be suffering from LPD Litunal phase defect...(spelling is off here) I guess that my body was not producing enough progestrone to carry a pregnancy. So I went out and searched for something on Hormone imbalance and balancing my hormones ect. Dr John Lee wrote this wonderful book or set of books. What your Dr may not tell you about peri-menopause: balancing your hormones between 30 and 50. What your Dr may not tell you about Menopause. He also wrote a book called What your Dr may not tell you about Breast Cancer. So I read the second one, then bought the first one mentioned here. I joined some groups on yahoo about Natural Hormone replacement therapy and the like. I learned alot I never knew, I mean about things as women we really need to know about our bodies and how they work. From my symptoms back then I surmized that I was low on progestrone and used Natural Progestrone Cream for 6 months, morning and night for 14
days between the time I ovulated and starting my next monthly. I can honestly say I felt better , was not as moody, didn't retain fluid as much and my asthma and allergies seemed non existant. I was also using Whey Protien shakes and taking good vitamins. (Shaklee) which I now am an independent distributor . I didn't get pregnant during that time, so I quit using the Progestrone Cream, thinking it wasnt the issue. www.emerita.com or look for it on www.amazon.com Emerita Paraben Free Pro-Gest natural progestrone cream. Well long about last December I again became pregnant, didn't use the cream and lost another baby to miscarriage February 28th. So I thought more on things I was doing and using and adjusted my vitamin intake and supplements and what I was eating...
and in May on my 43 birthday I felt rather sick that weak and thought I was suffering another virus, till acid reflux set in and I decided well since I get acid reflux when pregnant, I would call my Dr and go get a blood test as the nausea didnt seem to go away after a few days. Well the night before I was to hear back from the Dr I decided I am going to start using the cream again and did from that night on. That next day he called and said you are pregnant for sure and need to go to the OB Dr. 4 weeks later I was still using the cream went for my appointment and for the first time got to hear my DS Daniels heartbeat 164 beats per minute then. As I write he is awake within my womb and ever growing and getting bigger and expanding his territory in there... kicking as he goes. I truely feel that if I had not started using the cream, my own body wouldn't have made enough progestrone to carry Daniel to term. The Lord just impressed on me that I needed to be healthy and something was missing here that needed correcting.
So , here I am 43 and pregnant for Daniel Josiah Finn, Our first son together and so thankful to the Lord for showing me that I needed to educate myself in how my own body worked, listen to my own symptoms and do something about it. God is faithful.... Even when the wisdom of this world is foolishness to Him, we can count on him to guide us in the right way to go and what to do.
Embracing and loving my children is natural to me, it comes easily and is what God intended from the start.
To my sisters in the Lord I wish only to share my story so that maybe you can seek the Lord and overcome.

Abeka 8th grade Science or BJU Earth Science 8th grade books needed.
Does anyone have Abeka 8th grade Matter and Motion Teachers Key and Test/quiz Booklet and answer key.
or BJU Earth Science Test book and answer key ? I am in need of one or the other to use with Michael
this year. WE are doing BJU Earth Science but he is finding it harder to do and unless I can find the test book
will need to make up my own tests, which seems like alot of work to do. I am also in need of BJU English 8 test
book and key. These are all older editions 1984 or so I think. I have the teachers editions that show me how to
use them, just need the above things for this year.
If you do please let me know as I cannot afford to buy them and am willing to even borrow them. I have a copier so wouldnt have to write in anything.
Blessings

23 Weeks and counting !
As of today I am 23 weeks along. Daniel is growing and moving arround so much more and each movement is a blessing to me. At 43 years old and not having had a baby in 4 years, it is a true blessing to us. Many of you know that I had miscarried 3 times since having Hope 4 years ago, our last miscarriage was this year in February. I have been using Natural Progestrone Cream by Emerita Paraben free kind called Pro-Gest and it has helped me to carry this pregnancy thus far. The Lord is good as when I thought I was pregnant this time I decided I would do this morning and night to see if it would help , as I was told I was ok on my hormone levels by the Dr. Not wanting to miscarry again I started the night before the Dr called me to tell me I was indeed pregnant. Well, thus far all is well and we are praising the Lord for his Mercy and Blessing us with Little Daniel Josiah. It is a true blessing to know that each day our son grows in my womb.
Blessings

After 14 years from my last sons birth, we are having a boy.... Daniel Josiah Finn is due January 27th 2008.

All things will be greatly appreciated. We know that the Lord will provide for this little guy. My DH has surgery
