Not out of the woods.

So, I saw the doctor yesterday evening. I am due November 7, 2011. I'm 6 weeks and 3 days today. We went to the hospital when I was having some bleeding and discomfort. Everything seems to be okay, but it's early so I'm not quite out of the woods. We're going to figure out the financial side of things today and Friday I will see the doctor again to make sure everything is progressing. I saw the little tiny peanut with a heartbeat! Eek!
In the awkwardness of about 20 minutes of legs spread in the stirrups during the ultrasound etc. I started to ask her if she was a fan of Friends. I started reliving out loud the episode where Rachel is pregnant and can't see the baby on the ultrasound but keeps pretending that she can because she doesn't want Ross or the ob to think she's a bad mom. I'm pretty sure I saw the peanut, and can't believe it's real. I'm still reserving my feelings either way since it's so early, but I'm sure it's in there.

embracing unexpected change

We're heading into new seasons in our lives. Lots of career changes and life changes. I feel like God is beautifully preparing us as we fall headfirst into all these new things. Jeremiah's new restaurant, Eggshell Bistro, will most likely be opening in September and I have some new things on the horizon also. This year is going to be a lot different than we expected when we moved into it, but I know that God is faithfully leading us and our prayer is to be steadfast in following.
I have struggled with all my schedule changes to make time with Jesus. That should be first and foremost, but these hours are killing me. This week, I am deciding to make it a priority and to follow through with that diligently. It's so beautiful to be home and I'm so glad we're here for this new season in life. Thank you Jesus for having a plan that's better than mine.
