Another Day, Another Dollar

Daniel came home with exciting news yesterday.  His company had a meeting to discuss their end of fiscal year, blah blah blah, and came out with 200 bucks cash!  What a blessing!  I’ve been worrying about the trip (because I am the world’s biggest worrier!) and this just took a load off!  The trip is getting so close and we are so excited!  We are going to new places, seeing all new things, and it’s just time to get away from Dallas.  I know it will be stressful being pregnant and having two 16month olds, but I know I won’t be the only one helping whereever needed.  Daniel had to work early this morning and late tonight…sucks, but hey more money for the trip!  Cha-Ching!  I was on full mommy duty this morning and I must say I quite enjoyed it.  Adam was great, he slept in so I didn’t have to rush my shower or getting dressed.  I woke him, changed him, got him breakfast, watched the news, and headed out on time.  Go Me!  I seem to have more energy today for sure.  Amazing since the neighbors were quite loud at 3am.  Why is it that the one night you look forward to getting a good night sleep is the night it’s not possible?  I was up til after 4am!  ARGH!  But, I was bright eyed and bushy tailed this morning.  I even put on accessories! 

Tomorrow we are going to go see my nephew!  I’m excited!  Adam will be amazed and my mommy will spoil me rotten.  I get there and she tells me to sit, put my feet up, and she literally does the rest!  Yep, I know how blessed I am! 

I did have a moment of tears today though.  My fellow pregnant coworker has 3 daughters and her youngest who is 10 seems to have a heart problem.  It was just discovered a few weeks ago and she has seen specialist who diagnosed a possible heart murmur.  The dr. office called her today and told her to get in today at 5:30.  Well, naturally you think the worst with a notice like that!  Poor Donna, just broke down in tears, her little girl is sick and now she has to hear what is wrong.  We tried to be encouraging by telling her that it’s normal for them to say that, the nurse won’t release info on the phone, that if it was something tuly life threatening they would have ordered her to stop all of her daughter’s activities and to go in to the hospital for monitoring.  She seemed to calmed down as much as she could and hopefully will be able to hear what is happening and the appropriate course of action to take.  Please say a special prayer for Donna, her daughter Stormie, and the family.  Also, a friend of mine has a foundation for Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia.  Her daughter survived only 20 hours after birth.  Jessica founded this organization in her daughter’s name to help families dealing with this terrible defect.  One of the families lost their baby son this morning.  Please keep angel Seth and his family in your prayers too.  Tonight I will hug and kiss Adam more and be amazed at the gift God has given me.  I’m truly a blessed woman.
