Little man

So, Brayden continues to amaze us with how fast he is growing up. Last night some friends came over and they have a 9 month old. Brayden just loved him. He played with him, made faces at him and just laughed and helped with him. I am praying that all this continues when little Riley comes. This morning while getting ready to go and clean a house Brayden was jumping off the bed. The last time he did it he didn't land right. He hurt his foot in some fashion I still don't know if it is his foot or toe. But, he was hurt and couldn't walk. So, since I can't carry him (doctors orders) we were stuck. I called Jim and he said to give it some time and see how he was doing but that we should just stay home and not try and clean. Which was good cause I didn't know how I would get him in the van and out at her house. He is doing better now. Still limping which breaks my heart to see him hobbling. But, we have advanced from being cats. (yes that is how we were getting around) We did a lot of low key stuff this morning and I am hoping that after nap it is just all better. It is hard to see your very active child not able to jump and run around like usual. Well, I am off to have a nap.

Ultrasound

Well today was the day. We went for our ultrasound. It was so exciting because Jim was here this time. He was amazed at all you could see and he could point stuff out. He actually was the one that said "It's a girl" and he was right. Yes, that is right we are having a girl. I am excited and nervous. You get used to the way things work with one sex and Brayden is such a joy. But, I know we will have so many wonderful and joyful times with our little Riley. Yep, her name will be Riley Leanne. So, we are happy and all looked good so we are feeling so truly blessed.

Thoughts

So, lately I have been having some interesting thoughts. Like Capital punishment, how do I believe? Modesty, I dress modestly but just read an article in Focus on the Family about it and am even more cautious about it. T.V. and kids. I am against to much but wow the thought of how it also affects a childs behavior is interesting.
We were also asked in Sunday school this week to think of how we want our child/children to be as adults. And how is our parenting now affecting that. Are we doing well to achieve those goals? Should be an interesting thought.
Anyway this week is nice. Not to much going on. Well, except we find out on Thursday how our little one is doing and if all goes well we shall find out the sex. Jim and I also get to go to dinner tonight. It is a business thing but still dinner out alone. Brayden is doing well and is doing good in the nursery for Hearts at home and 2 services at church. I am so excited about Hearts at home. I love my group and the study is great.
Thank you God for all my blessings!!

Home

Well, we made it. We are home. We moved home on Wednesday and it wasn't quite ready for us but we are here. We didn't have any food or dishes in the house but we slept in our own beds. It was nice. Since then the kitchen is completely put together and the office is done (I am still typing on the floor but it is painted) And we have candles lite and it smells good. We don't have doors on the bedrooms or bathrooms but you know who cares. They will go in this week. We still have some painting to do but otherwise just minor stuff. Jim is relaxing and Brayden is doing great. He doesn't whine as much and he is sleeping great. It is nice. Next week we find out how our little one is doing and hopefully the sex. We are in my favorite time of year. I just love fall. The changing of the leaves, the smells, the cooler weather. Just all of it is so wonderful. I am also feeling more like myself. Less stressed and just more relaxed. Thank you God for all the wonderful blessings you have given me. Oh and I also started a Moms bible study at our church this week. (Hearts at home) It was the first week but I loved it and am so excited about it. Brayden even did good in the nursery. Isn't God so good all the time? I sure think so.
