Man, it's been a little while since I wrote anything on my blog so I guess it's time to "reconnect". It's just been such a whirlwind time during our lives the last few months, I wasn't sure if I even wanted to wake up some days.
The holidays came and went. With Demetrius' recent layoff, it's been a little difficult to focus on anything else. I know the economy is suffering and many people affected by it, but I guess I just thought it would never happen to us. But it did and it hit home...hard!!! Harder than I had ever expected. I felt like a rug had just been pulled out from under us...especially with a new baby on the way.
It has been a roller coaster of a time but I think with God's help, I have such a peace about it all. I was about to lose my mind at one point, crying in confusion everyday almost and at any given moment. And although my prayers first asked for a new job to come up soon, my requests quickly shifted to just having peace of mind and the faith to put everything else in God's hands. That request was granted.
Demetrius is still searching for a new job but we're thankful for the progress. It's a slow process but we understand that not everything happens overnight. And we're going to be patient because God has never failed us before. He's not going to start now.
On a brighter note, I'm only 2 weeks from my due date and the pregnancy is going well so far. I haven't had any problems with my glucose levels, blood pressure, or anything else for that matter. This miracle pregnancy has actually gone smoothly. I've only gained 10 pds so far and I'm feeling really good. Ofcourse I didn't even look pregnant till my last month but that's really nothing to complain about, right? I consider myself very lucky.
Demetrius and I are just praying for a beautiful healthy baby boy to come join us in the next few weeks. Once we see his little face, nothing else in the world will matter. We never thought the day would come that we would be parents and still can't hardly believe it.
So although our future is still unknown and full of mystery, we know in our hearts that we're going to be okay...one way or another...because we know we have the ultimate superhero on our side!!!
