How do I stop following someone? haha
HELP ME!

My Bean and Me!

So, I have found zero relief from being pregnant. I went to Babies R Us the other day to see if "preggie pops" and some "wellness tea" will make me start feeling better. So far, I think it might be mental or now that I'm working, I have to keep my mind off of it? Who knows.. I hope the doctor will be able to give me something at my appointment tomorrow.

I'm so glad I don't have to work tomorrow. I took the day off for my appointment since it's like 1 hour away from my house and then we're going to eat lunch with Ayden as long as we get back to NC on time. Working on Wednesday, hoping we are let out early.. we'll see about that though.

I'm ready for a 4-day weekend. I guess I'm ready for it the most because I can lay around and take naps and hope that I don't puke anything up =) Oh, the joys of being pregnant!

Anywho, I will post about my appointment after I am home tomorrow.. Hope to get an ultrasound, but I'm doubting it for some reason. Oh well - we'll have to guess at how far along I am for a little bit longer (I'm thinking I'm on my 8th week.. We'll see)

OKAY I LIED TO YOU!!!!!!!

We are having a baby. In like 8 or 9 months. Seriously.

HA!

The Lord works in mysterious ways but I am so proud to be a new mommy again even though morning sickness is making me sick.. literally. I don't know how far along I am but the pregnancy predictor said I could be at 7 weeks.. Not so sure about that, but hey, it could be right.

We have my first appointment on the 24th of November. After I make sure all is good (which I know it is. I have to see to believe) we will tell Ayden the good news. I can't wait to tell him. It's going to be so hard keeping that a secret from him since he really wants a baby brother or 'stister'.

So, I haven't told hardly anyone but I'm sure it'll get around.. There aren't many people that view this so I thought it would be okay to post. I HAD TO TELL SOMEONE!

Anyways, looks like another summer baby for us! =D

No babies for the Schraders'

So,
Todd and I talked about it. I'm going back on BC hopefully this next weekend. We want a mini-Schrader but have mutally agreed that it doesn't look like now is a good time for us.

I'm a little sad but everything happens for a reason.. Now, to get my crazy hormones back in balance!

I love being mellow =)

A brand new day

Thankfully,
It's Saturday.

Waking up at 0545 was not my plan for the weekend but I was able to work out and spend time with my handsome son who's continually growing. Make him stop! We received his report card this week for his first semester of 1st grade and I am proud to say he is achieving and excelling. He is above grade average and just amazes me each time I see his grades. I'll assume this came from my side, of course. My father was very smart, so I've heard (I don't remember much of him. He died when I was 12), and I'll humbly say it skipped a generation and was passed on to my awesome kid!

So, life is putting right along in the Schrader household. Todd is a stay at home dad right now and I think he's enjoying it. Lucky for him! I'm glad he's able to do what he wants.

I'm still at USTC. Things are quite different from when I first started last October. I wish things didn't change.. It's not "The change we can believe in." that's for sure. This past week several people were laid off and it just struck a nerve. I'm certainly not happy about the way things are but there's nothing I can do about it right now so I'll stay low and continue on with the fight. I've realized that no one is safe.

I'm still doing the hair thing at my house. I hope to be in a salon one day but we'll see when my desires come true. I'll sacrafice for a bit longer but I know there will be a breaking point when I say "enough is enough" and move on.

We were thinking about trying for a baby but we decided that now is not a good time. Things are crazy in our lives and we just don't think it's time for another youngin' right now. We've been trying for several months but nothing has happened. We'll give it a rest, go on with our lives and see what happens in a year or two. I'll still be young at least ;)

Today is Saturday! It is beautiful outside. I think I'll head out to VA and putt around while the boys play on the dirt bike.

Have a safe weekend!

Cheer up, buttercup!

My only thought I am pondering over today is "I am fearfully and wonderfully made!" I don't know where I'd be without my God but I am happy that He is in my life. I might not feel pretty at times and my bones may hurt but the Lord made me just how He wanted me. Why do I always belittle myself? "I look horrible today!" "My skin is so gross right now!" "Why can't my back be 'normal'?"
I AM FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE and no one can take away my joy! NO ONE!

I hope you have a great day. =)
