I'm Back

It has been a while. I do have a good excuse, though...as most of you know, Rob and I are expecting. We are due on June 8th. It is a very exciting time, but I have been feeling very ill. Morning sickness, nausea during the rest of the day and am very tired. Today I feel better, though, because I tried the arm bands and they really seem to work. I am really excited about tonight and am glad I am feeling a little better because Ryan will be dressed up as a really cute Pooh Bear. I will take lots of pictures and post them later this week.

Pregnancy progress: 8 weeks, 5 days. My first doctors appointment was last Monday and everything was fine. I had blood tests last week also and will find out about those next visit and hopefully hear the heartbeat also. Next appointment: November 22nd.

I hate studying

I am at school right now, and am supposed to be studying, but I can't. I have too much on my mind. I don't care at the moment that I have a huge lab test in two hours. My mind is flooded with the things that are going on in my life right now. God has been providing for Rob and I and in the last week, some things that I wasn't sure would work out financially have. Not that Rob and I have been exceptionally smart with our money, but God truely has been making provisions for us. (One example...this weeks check was about $150 less than normal because Rob took vacation days. This means we have money to pay bills, but no grocery money. However, I got a check in the mail on Thursday for $48 and our gas bill, which is usually $112 had a $37 credit on it, so here is our grocery money!) I love God's timing! I have also been thinking about our friends and how many of them have so many things, good and not so good, going on in their lives. I worry about them and wish for their lives to have less bumps. I also think about how thankful I am for our friends and how supportive of us they are. But I should stop my endless thought process for now so I can study. I say now that I don't really care what grade I get on the test...after all, if I got a 50%, I would still pass the class, but I know I really would care if I did poorly, so I'm off...

Long Break

I know that I have broken the rules of bloggerhood...it has been a couple of weeks since my last post, but school has been crazy and I have had tests, and...well, you don't need to know all my reasons, but I have had an eventful couple of weeks. One great thing that happend was that I tested out of Chemistry. One less class I have to take for the RT program. I don't know how I did it. I needed a 36 out of 60 to pass and I happened to get exactly 36 correct. Oh, well. I never have to think about chemistry again. The other exciting event was our trip to Cedarville with Ang and Ryan. We left Thursday night and returned Sunday night. Ryan stayed with my parents (pictures below). The cabin was cozy and the water was beautiful. I woke up Friday morning about 5:30 to the sound of Ryan building a fire. It was very sacrificial of him to get up that early because the fire was our only source of heat. I loved hearing the sound of the wood crackeling. I was able to lay in bed for a few more hours. We went to the Soo that day. Saturday we slept in a little longer and went to breakfast at Pammi's. Yes, it was as greasy as it sounds, but it was a really great breakfast. We walked in the woods and took naps by the fire. We did go to St. Ignace that evening and bought some fudge. Sunday was spent cleaning up the cabin and making an emergency trip to the ER in the Soo. Angela is doing fine, but she did give us a little scare. I was very glad to arrive home to see my little Ryan. I missed him very much.
