Update on The D's

Ok... I know I know that I'm lacking in the posting area of my life. But to be honest my keyboard at home is being picky and not obeying me when I type a letter... it is skipping and then I have to go back and fix it (annoying!)....then another reason is that sitting in front of the monitor contributes to my nausea. Which by the way peaked on Tuesday when I spent the morning and afternoon hugging the toilet. I never threw up with Miss D or Baby Hazel... but Tuesday I was in bad shape. I had a glass of milk at about 5am to fill the void that was starting to make me feel yucky and then went back to bed... well it just didn't sit right. I stayed in bed as my tummy was churning until Miss D woke up about 7am. I headed for a potty break and I couldn't get turned around fast enough to puke...Miss D was so precious... saying..........
"Get those throw up's out mommy"
"Good Job Mommy"
"Do you want my niney to make you feel better?"
" You will be OK mommy"
Too sweet... I stumbled downstairs to get a gargle of water and then maybe a small drink of something... I managed to drink a sip of water. About 1 hour later I had round 2. This time I closed my eyes and Miss D was so into her cartoon that she didn't even notice that I was missing. No pep talk from my daughter this time.. I was on my own. I flushed the toilet and made it back out to the couch where I stayed ALL day. Miss D had a nap at 1pm and I layed down... but had to sleep sitting up because my stomach was in my throat. That really doesn't make for very restful sleep. We gathered our things later in the day to make the trek down to my in-laws to stay. It took me hours to pack for a few days away from home and now a few days later I really did a horrible job packing. We have been at my in-laws staying and I have been feeling MUCH better. I'm hoping that was the end of my nausea and it culminated with a bang... or barf. Anyhow... I have been hitting the sack early because I really have been tired. Mr D really isn't missing much around here. Although we are REALLY MISSING HIM. We both purchased a web cam and are able to "skype" back and forth at my in-laws house where they have highspeed internet. We did on Thanksgiving... which was SO sad as he was with a friend from home who is now on the job with him (HUGE BLESSING) and they were having brawts on the bbq for Turkey day. I felt terrible as I was indulging in a beautiful dinner and pie as he was alone in TX having to fend for himself. He has had some major challenges down there... but as of today 2 people have been fired (Mr. D is very happy about that) and the 4 that are left have good attitudes and are very hard workers. They are now hoping to get 7 more guys down there to help them finish the job before the day they are to return home which is Dec 19th. If they are unable to finish the job by then they will be returning after the 1st of the year. So
Please pray that they get suitable help and are able to make up much lost time.
Please pray for safety on the job site and for a problem free work environment.
Please pray for endurance and clarity for the workers because the are working 6 days a week putting in 60 hours.

Mr. D passed his written State patrol test! So we are hoping that they will be able to give him and oral interview during the time that he is home... If I can gather all the paper work and transcripts.
Hmmmm what else can I update...
I had my 1st baby appt. Baby is measuring right on target with what I thought... 8 weeks and now a few days. It was so cool to see a beating heart and Miss D was so intrigued by the tv that showed what the tech was doing. She waved to baby... it was so sweet. My due date is 7-7-09...
and a friend just announced her pregnancy... exciting... another round of babies to be born. Hopefully I won't be so long in posting because I have made it this far in a post without feeling totally yucked out by the monitor!
Late Turkey Blessings and thanks for sticking with me.. even though I have neglected you!

Me... not much but shuteye.

I know that my blog has been seriously lacking. But I really don't find time lately to blog. I really don't have much to talk about. All I do is sleep (when miss d is napping which sometimes can be the chunk of the afternoon). I did clean my house yesterday which was a miracle.... then what happens...someone wants to show the house. So this morning I had to scoop me and miss d out the door early so our house could be shown. That was a hard enough thing to do since my place in the mornings has been on the couch while miss d watches her fav cartoons and my breakfast settles in my not so happy tummy. Ugggh... I'm really not any fun to be around. On that note... Mr. D headed out this morning bright and early to a job..YES that is right I said a job! It just happens to be in Texas and that it is for a month. But God does provide and when He does it is always so over the top. The pay is whopping and we are so thankful for the path God provides. So Mr. D will be home in a month.. and leading back to what I was saying before, I'm really a gem right now.. not doing my hair and barely ever wearing makeup ( I have to be ready to hit my pillow at any given moment). So Mr. D won't be missing much around the home front. I'm hoping by the time he gets home I will be more of a peach instead of a peach pit. I have my first doctor appt on Monday.. I'm hoping for an ultrasound. I can't wait to see a beating heart!!

Thank you

Thank you to all who will be praying for me and my 3rd child as we embark on this adventure together. I know that this baby will be SO covered with prayer. Thank you for standing with me in this time when I know that I will need prayer. I will need to be covered so that I don't stray toward the uncertainty that I know the devil will try and taunt me with. I will chose joy and I know that God is my strength and I can do all things through HIM.
Pray for a doctor that is sensitive to my needs and who will understand what I have been through. I'm in the process of finding a new doctor right now. I would like to find a fellow believer.
I'm feeling tired and nausea... but I welcome these feelings because they are the signs of a healthy pregnancy. I can't wait until my 1st ultrasound when I get to see a beating heart!
We are so excited and know that the time will fly. Miss D is saying that she wants a sister.. but Mr. D and I are thinking boy. We haven't decided if we are going to find out this time yet... still thinking on that one.
Thank you for all the comments and the encouragement! Much love Friends!

Missing her Sam and Syl

"Talking" on the phone to her friends who have been out of town for almost 2 weeks...

The phone is the play phone from her kitchen.... like how she is sitting in her grocery cart!

She was telling her friends that she would "call them on the other line".
