Oh, Debbie I added songs for you :)

I have been sooo tired lately and my brain is just in a fog. I have had no interest in blogging but my sister Debbie requested that I update my blog so everyone knows what is going on so here is my mess from my foggy brain Deb. Warning: Loy did not edit this so it's a mess. I used spellcheck though! Thank you Lord for spell check!

I feel like I've been holding my breath for 14 weeks! I am 14 weeks 5 days today and I don't really feel pregnant. I'm having symptoms and everything but I can still wear my same pants and they are comfortable. I don't feel like I'm growing. I've only gained 3 pounds in 14 weeks too. At around 7 weeks I thought I was having another miscarriage. I had spotting and some cramping. I thought that I was going to loose the baby but I had an ultrasound and the baby was the right size and had a heartbeat. They did find that I had a cyst on my ovary and a fibroid somewhere in my uterus. I had my 8 week appointment and my midwife did an ultrasound and the baby again was the right size and had a heartbeat. Then the longest 4 weeks I have ever had to wait slowly went by. I was very nervous at my 12 week appointment. That whole 4 weeks I had symptoms but did not feel anything happening in my belly. I don't mean movement from the baby or anything like that, I just don't feel anything. I would think by now I would feel a blob or a pressure or something. Well at my 12 week app. the moment my midwife put the Doppler on my belly a loud strong heartbeat came through. It was wonderful to hear. I waited 4 long weeks to see if this baby was still ok and all I got to hear was about 45 seconds of a heartbeat. Torture I tell you, torture! My midwife has to retire which is sad. He delivered David or Joey I can't remember which one but I had him as a midwife thorough both David and Joey. The person he recommended me to see was my sister Debbie's midwife and is currently my daughter in law Laura's midwife. I see her in 2 long weeks! Maybe I just cant believe I'm pregnant or maybe since it's been 14 years since I've been pregnant I just don't remember what it is like. I wasn't showing until 6 months with my first pregnancy but I'm older and fatter now. You would think I'd be showing at 8 weeks! Or maybe when you have a miscarriage it really affects you. It's hard to believe everything is ok. Over the last week there have been a few times that I thought I felt the baby move but it still doesn't make me feel pregnant! All my books say it's way too early to feel the baby move so I'm not sure, but it feels like what I remember from before. Debbie said she felt her baby early. I will know more in two weeks. I decided at my 12 week appointment to assume everything is ok unless i have signs of a miscarriage rather than everything in not ok because I don't feel pregnant. Most of the time I'm doing ok. I'll have a day here and there where I just worry and feel like something is not right. On those days I just have to pray and trust God that no matter what happens He is in control. I should be having an ultrasound in a few weeks too. Hopefully they will be able to tell if it is a girl or a boy.

Guess What.............................

A PICTURE IS WORTH 1000 WORDS

Isaac is one!

Annika's belly is growing

My sister is a movie star

Something was really funny even Angel was laughing!

Someone suggested Valarie should get a tattoo to cover her scar so

she did a homemade tattoo.

Chase and Annika

Cute

Loy reading to us in the morning

Annika is really starting to show!

The garden is growing

I actually planned that! I planted the fuchsia colored flowers in with the purple ones last year, I think it turned out nice. There are hydrangeas behind them too but you can't see them yet. It will take a couple of years for them to get big enough to see.

My gray hair is really filling in!

Happy Birthday Isaac! Love Mya Mya

Pictures!

I have pictures!

Ben

Cuteness!

Joey at a TKD competition. He won 1st place in everything he did!

This is how many boards he broke!

Focus.

I never realized my pond was a heart.

Here is some of the work we have done. David and Joey weeded the path, I am half way done weeding the little flower bed right in the middle of the picture. This shows much weeds there are! The garden area was worse!

The Garden after all the hard work. I pulled out all the mint and herbs I planted in front of the gate last year because they were taking over. I planted Basil and cilantro on the right and I am going to plant some sunflowers with Ben on the left behind the chives and the other thing growing that is a mystery. I'm waiting till it blooms to find out what it is. I know I planted it last year but I can't remember what it is!

The kids enjoying dinner outside

Our five baby kittens are ready for new homes. They are so cute!

I have laughing kittens!

My friend Juli feeding the kitten she is going to take. Now I just need to find homes for the rest of them!

Kittens, weeding, planting, and praying.

I have been very busy. We planted a garden (Laura helped). I'm weeding and cleaning the yard, and our five little kittens are ready for new homes! These pictures are out of order and old but it's all I have right now.

Bunny's five kittens

Bunny in labor. Ghost watching Bunny and wondering what is going on!

I thought this was a cute picture of Laura and the boys.

Ghost found a comfy spot.

My ears you have pierced, I desire to do your will, I am poor and needy

Psalm 40

You God are my help and my Deliverer!

I waited
He heard me
He lifted me up
I stand on a rock
I have a song in my heart
A praise to my God
I pray many will see and fear and put their trust in the Lord Jesus
Blessed is the man who makes the Lord his trust
Do not withhold Your mercy from me, O Lord
May Your love and Your truth always protect me


This is what I am singing today:

Many are they increased that troubled me
Many are they that rise up against me
Many there be which say of my soul
There is no help for him in God

But Thou, oh Lord are a shield for me
My glory and the lifter of my head
Thou, oh Lord are a shield for me
My glory and the lifter of my head

I cried unto the Lord with my voice
And He heard me out of His holy hill
I laid me down and slept and awaked
For the Lord sustained, for He sustained me

Thou, oh Lord are a shield for me
My glory and the lifter of my head
Thou, oh Lord are shield for me
My glory and the lifter of my head

For Thou oh Lord are a shield for me
My glory and the lifter of my head
Of my head
My head
