Busted

We awoke to no running water in the kitchen this morning. No biggie we thought, just run the water for a bit & then it should be ok. OK-NO! I had fallen asleep on the couch & I awoke to some choice words from Eli, this is not common. He then went running outside behind the house & found water running down the house from where the pipe should be in the wall.
So we have a pipe that burst. Growing up in New England you'd think we'd be used to this, maybe our homes are constructed better, more equipped for this kind of temperature up there. And so now for what was suppose to be our free Saturday together turned into an afternoon @ Lowes for Eli & a new plumber role for him.

Wow, there's drills going now, he needs to get as much of the dry wall out from under the sink so we can air out all that is damaged. What a mess, so we've been w/o water all day too. I know wah for us. I honestly just feel bad for all that he is trying to figure out right now, cause for me I have not a clue.
So from a kitchen with a lot of sighs, I hope your Saturday is a little better than ours.

Not so good at this...

So here I am @ 16+ weeks & I haven't posted anything in over a week & even that was late. I wanted to journal & take photos every week.
Currently I see a difference in my body & mind, but most people don't. Its getting old when people are like you're pregnant or when my emotions go up & down or I find myself worrying about things that are out of my control. Which I find myself doing a lot, worrying about things I should give over to God.

On a lighter note, Monday we had our 4 week check up--@ exactly 16 weeks. Quick visit: pee in a cup, weight, BP & then the hand held Doppler. At the last appt. they couldn't hear the heart beat with it, but this time it came over like it was on a loud speaker, like a strong galloping horse-- 160+ bpm. I could have listened to that all day.

Back to my rant, so lately I've been up & down & ALL over the place with my thoughts: what to do about work, money, Eli potentially finding/getting a job. I labor over these thoughts A LOT. I don't talk much about them, because I feel I'm trying to figure it all out. But do I really have to figure it all out. I don't know....this is where my brain is right now.
I think its time to stretch my legs & go for a walk...that seems to help.

Hopefully we'll get some photos up, or taken soon. :)

14 weeks (Dec. 29th)




So I'm a little late in posting, week 14 commencing last Monday, Dec. 29th. But hey cut me some slack I worked 5 of 6 straight last week, I got a little tired.
More pics to come as we enter week 15 tomorrow.
Week 14 was good, yes I think I am definitely showing. Tired & hungry is the common theme. No appts. last week or this week.
Look forward to a regular scheduled appt. next week & our next big u/sound week 18.
