Shopping and sick kid

Monday night my husband and I went to buy out Salvation army. Well not really. I was there on Saturday looking for some boots for my son when I saw they had a sign on the door which said that on Monday they were going to be having all clothing on Monday for $1 all day long. I came home and told my husband but pretty well forgot about it until about dinner time Monday evening. So we decided that we would go see what we could find. So we loaded our not so healthy child into the car and went to Salvation Army uptown. We were really looking for pants for my husband for work. My husband does carpentry as a living. He wears his jeans through with holes. So every once in a while we go on the search for new pants. Well we found good deals for him in both the pant and shirt department. I decided that I should go look for maternity cloths and see what I can find being as I will be pregnant in the summer this time and last time it was winter. Well just to say I got cloths for myself and my husband for under $20. I came home and added all the price tags together to figure out what we saved. When finished adding it came to about $57. So we saved somewhere around $37 by going to the sale on Monday. I love bargain shopping. It is one of the greatest things.
On another note my little boy has been sick since Saturday with a cough and nasal congestion. Saturday and Sunday all he really did was cough now and then. By Monday he had the "Nile river" running out of his nose. He has had a fever on and off and is just plain miserable. I hate to see my child sick. It makes my heart sad. I am just trusting God that he will be able to heal my son and soon. I would like it to be in my timing but obviously I have to wait upon God to do it.

Pregnancy

Last week I reached 12 weeks in my pregnancy. It is a milstone that I have been looking forward to. Partly because it is nearing the end of my 1st trimester, something that I have thought all through would give me even more of a sound mind and spirit about this pregnancy, and also because it was when I had my first appointment scheduled for. Well we went in for our first appointment last Thursday. I was apprehensive about what it would be like. I knew that it would be emotional for me being as what we went through 4 1/2 months ago but I knew it was also something that I really needed. Well we got to hear the baby's heart beat. It was the most amazing sound to hear in the world. It was really quiet to begin with because the baby was all the way at the back towards the back of my body but as we continued to listen it came closer and so the heart beat became louder. I know it may sound interesting but after hearing the heart so loud and the midwife saying everything was going as it should be, I had this real peace just fill my heart and life.
I know that I will still probably have times of doubt but I am trusting God through this pregnancy. I am looking forward to what this child will be like. I believe God has great things in store for his/her life. I will continue to pray into that for our child and claim these things that I have spoken. I know that it will be a blessing to our lives.
I look forward to meeting you my "itty bitty." I am entrusting you in God's hands. I know that God will do great things in and through your life. In fact I believe He is already using you. You are a very special little baby. I can't wait to meet you and I know there are others who can't wait to meet you.
