Blessings and Storms

While I am very grateful for what we already have, I find myself longing for more. I am 6 months pregnant and have been out of work for 7 months. I don't know how we have managed to make it this long on my husband's salary alone. I am fortunate enough to receive unemployment every week but it only funds our groceries. There is no telling where we will be when this runs out. We are doing the best we can to cut back in major areas such as electricity usage and gasoline but I get majorly depressed when I think of how much our monthly expenses outweigh our income. We always seem to make it somehow, someway and for this, I am grateful. It must be an amazing relief and feeling to have endless money. I pray that God carries us in this difficult time and helps us to endure, as well as all of the families out there that need his help and strength. I know there will be a blessing somewhere through this storm.

Baby Caden On The Way

Brandon and I are so excited about Caden's arrival in the Fall! We have been working hard on his Winnie the Pooh suite and we are having a baby shower for him next Saturday. I am getting a lot bigger now but mostly right out in front of me! And baby Caden has been kicking and squirming a lot more often as we move into the 26th week tomorrow. I sleep with a lot of pillows now, just to make myself comfortable at night. And some rude lady asked me if I was having twins today! I replied "No, just one big, healthy baby boy!" I have a feeling I will miss these pregnancy feelings and moments one day so I started this blog...to give us something to look back on and reminisce. Oh, and the dreams of pregnancy are absolutely crazy! I have no clue where they come from. We are incredibly blessed and very grateful to God for this amazing gift. And we can't wait to meet you Caden Michael!
