Wow.

I am SUCH a pathetic blogger!! More than TWO months have passed...how did that happen??

 WELL. So much to tell.

First, my hips are still feeling great, so that is a true answer to prayer.

Second...BIG NEWS!

 

 

Actually, it's quite small, right now. :)

We are thrilled, and even the littles seem to understand what's going on this time! They are so excited, too.

I'm having tremendous morning sickness, but counting that as an enourmous blessing, after 3 miscarriages.

This new blessing was the final impetus in prompting us to leave Northeastern Indiana (which, despite its beauty has been quite a burden on us...so my husband found a new job back in our home town of Wichita. We are excited to be back with our dear extended family, a new church (my brother is pastoring his own now, Hallelujah!) and my dear midwife...who would be, incidentally, illegal in Indiana.

We were originally scheduled to move in late October/early November, which  would allow us to enjoy one last (and first!) Indiana summer, but last Monday the new employers called and asked him to begin sooner...much sooner. So we are leaving in 10 days!

We will stay at my parents home (for as short a time as possible!) until we find our own home.

We have a homebirth to prepare for, so I'm praying we find something soon!

My husband's new job affords him the opportunity to work out of our home while still providing, and for that we are ever so grateful.

 His current job is about as NON-family friendly as it gets!

Pray for us if you think of it...I may not be on too much for a while longer...packing, moving, living at home (gulp!) and finally settling in...y'all will be the first to know how it all goes!

 :)

August 21, 2006 - risky pregnancies

Posted by mamakim
Hello Puritan Mama :-) After my first child, I had two very bad miscarriages (considered midterm losses), then I had my second surviving child (Marian). She was a high risk pregnancy, delivery had complications, but she was nearly 9 pounds and a strong child! I had tremendous hip and back pain, was on bed rest for 10 weeks even with my 6 year old and her school schedule. It was very hard, but the reward was my two beautiful children who are both very healthy (the one has food allergies). Whatever we go through to protect our little ones, it's all worth it!



August 29, 2007 - Congratulations

I hope that your wee one and yourself be blessed with health, and that your move be not too stressful.

If it is that is nice. I am in Kansas and I have rarely seen anyone on here from somewhere closeby. Have a wonderful day!
