Wash the car, the Laundry can Wait!

Often times after we have been married to someone for awhile women tend to forget to be attractive to their husbands, we forget to flirt, to be sexy if you will. I am guilty of this. On the weekends I do loads and loads of laundry,  I will run around in sweats, yoga pants, tank tops with snot and oatmeal smeared on them and so on. At nap time I might take a shower but then again I might fold the laundry and clean the toilets while the baby snoozes. More then likely it will be the latter. I spend time making a big meal for the afternoon, I pull my hair in a ponytail and go outside to play. I forget what sexy even is! Men are visual creatures, including my man!

All in the eyes of a Boy

Brought this over from my other blog, written this past spring:

I have never been much for the Oklahoma great outdoors, the heat is so great and heavy. When I was young I got heatstroke a few times and that really ruined my love of the sunshine along with other childhood memories, many of which give me an emotional bad reaction to the sunshine. For years I could not open up my windows to let the breeze and sunlight in. Due to horrible memories you can forget about opening windows and spraying Lysol or Pinesol, I become emotionally unstable if someone mixes those smells. I prefer rain! When the rain is warm, it is time to go outside and play and I open windows then! Harmful emotional associations are a powerful thing!

Does the Bible say I have to be a stay at home wife/mom?

A few months ago I had an interesting conversation with a woman that is very special to me that got me thinking about the roll of a woman and whether or not it is Biblical for women to work away from the home and if all Godly women are supposed to be stay at home moms and wives.  In pondering this I have had several conversations with other women about this subject. Many women have a very narrow one sided view on the subject in one extreme or the other. So I set out to examine this subject and find out for myself what I believe based on the Bible.

Uterine Scars and Scares: How to Make Sense of Rupture Statistics

Uterine Scars and Scares: How to Make Sense of Rupture Statistics

24 weeks

And going strong! The Lovenox seems to be working, doing its job well! I was holding my breath for this week, 24 weeks is when chances of survival outside the womb jump to 50-60%, by week 26 chances are 80% and week 27 90%. So each milestone is a joyful moment in my heart and in my husbands heart. We breath a little more with each passing day that this baby just might be here to stay. We are full of prayers, hopes and dreams for this little baby D!

My journey has been a hard one, my heart still mourns for babies lost, but we are so thankful for this chance, this time in our lives to love this little one and to feel the kicking, rolling and punching. I embrace every single moment that I have to run for the toilet because I need to puke, everytime I am moody, or sleepy, or even my migraines that seem to be my biggest pregnancy issue, I smile and I rejoice, taking one day at a time.
