God is really giving us patience

Well God is definitely giving us patience with all this waiting. Josh had a great interview today and not we wait for a week or 2 while Purina decides if they want to give him a second interview. If they do he will be flown out to Iowa either the first or second week of November (hopefully the first because it is further away from my due date) for a second face-to-face interview. We are just praying that if Josh is given this opportunity that the baby will stay in and wait to be born when Josh is home. Then we will be waiting again to find out if he was chosen. The good news is that we found out he will actually be making more money then he makes now, which is awesome and causes us not to stress at all. We are amazed at how well they take care of people going into management within the company and it makes Josh really want to move up instead of staying in his current position, but it also causes him to want to stay with the company. We know that God is in total control and that God will really show us where he wants us and what he wants us to do. God is truly amazing and we are excited to see where he might lead us even if that means moving away from my parents and Josh's family! I am scared of the possibility of moving but know that there is no need to have this fear because God will help us through.

Prayer Please

This is going to be a BUSY week and we can use lots of prayers! Josh is working on finishing up his last two weeks of school keeping him busy with homework. One Thursday at 11:30, Josh is having a phone interview for the job in Davenport, Iowa. Josh is pretty nervous about this first step and could really use some prayer as we begin this process. We would also like prayer for Josh and I to know if this is a good move for us and if it is where God is leading us. We are pretty excited that things are starting to move though with Josh's work.

On Friday I am going in for an ultrasound of my gallbladder in order to determine how it is looking as well as what might need to be done once the baby is here. I am relieved that I will know for sure what is going on so that I wont have to be worrying about anything serious. Also I am supposed to go in for an H1N1 flu shot but am freaked out. I don't know if it is better to have the shot or to just deal with the flu if I get it. I just wish I knew what to do which would protect both myself and the baby.

2 weeks and 6 weeks!!!

I cannot believe that Josh only has 2 weeks of school left, we are SOOOOO excited. It will be nice to be able to spend time with my hubby that does not involve homework, papers, or ANYTHING with school. The boys are so excited and have had fun planning a party for daddy and figuring out what they can make him to show him how excited and proud they are of him!

I also can't believe that there is only 6 weeks until my due date (according to the ultrasound, I still think I am due earlier so we will see). I am so anxious to find out what this baby is but I am more anxious to see if my gallbladder issues will go away once this baby is born or if I will have to (most likely) have surgery removing my gallbladder a few weeks after having the baby! The boys are very excited about the soon to be baby and are hoping that they will have a sister and not another brother, we will see though. Hopefully they wont be too bummed if and when we have a boy! =) Three boys, that is a scary thought, but hey if God gives me three boys then I must be able to handle it!

Ready to have this baby!!!

I have decided that I would rather be in labor or giving birth then dealing with the pain of my gallbladder. I have been in almost constant pain for weeks now from about noon until I finally fall asleep at night. I cannot even explain the pain, but am ready to have this baby so I can deal with this pain through either drugs or surgery. I have tried dieting but nothing seems to work and nothing kicks the pain. One thing that I have realized is that I become an emotional wreck when I am in pain, and I become quick to become angry and am so impatient with my family. I have SOOOO much respect for my mom in seeing how she deals with her pain without taking it out on others or even becoming a grouch. I don't know how she does it but I am striving to be more like her.

Frusterating People

It has been an interesting week. We had a 4D ultrasound on Sat which was fun. We were able to see the baby smile and yawn, it was very cool. The ultrasound tech did take a pix of what the baby is and then made the comment "Don't look at the DVD or CD ROM because it is VERY OBVIOUS as to what this baby is." This was extremely frustrating because I would think it would be more obvious if it is a boy instead of a girl, so I am mad because I didn't want to have any clue as to what this baby is! SOOOOO I finally got over it only to have my in laws bring over a friend today who "believes" she is psychic and can tell the future. The whole family knows we don't believe in this and that we have NO interest in having someone tell us our future.

WARNING I AM ABOUT TO VENT!!! =)

So ANYWAYS, this lady has the nerve to just walk in and say:
"you are having a boy"
I said what? Excuse me? No one knows except for God and a couple ultrasound techs.
She said, "I can definitely tell that you are having a boy, but don't worry the next one will be a girl"
I told her I was done after this one especially with having such a difficult pregnancy and that if I would have known it would have been such a hard pregnancy that I would have reconsidered getting prego.
Of course she asked what problems I was having...which if I had thought quicker I would have told her if she really is psychic that she should know the problems that I am having, but of course I didn't think that fast.
Well anyways my emotions got the best of me and I know that she and Josh's ENTIRE family knew that I was extremely pissed off with this lady, so the lady as she left said:
"Don't worry you will have a quick and easy labor and delivery, but you need to change your attitude."
That of course pissed me off more. Seriously why can't people, especially when you don't know them just keep their mouths SHUT and why could my in laws NOT stick up for me when they know that I am having a hard time, and they knew that this lady was making it worse.

ON A GOOD NOTE:
Josh has 4 weeks left of school and only 10 papers left and he is done for GOOD. Also the boys are going to stay with the in-laws this weekend in order to give Josh and I a well needed break .
