Kindergarten

We have started searching around locally to see where Luke might start kindergarten next year! He will be a young 5 since his birthday is in June... so he could wait until the next year also. He can do kindergarten at the dayschool he is at right now- but then he would have to switch for first grade or repeat kindergarten if he isn't ready... so now is the time to look! There are a few open houses in November that we can check out so that is exciting. We will definately do a private school- since we live kind of near the ghetto haha. And thank goodness I am getting my nursing license b/c private school runs $6-10,000 a year !!!! Wow

Praying the Lord would lead us to the RIGHT place for Luke! These are in the running

The Williams School

Norfolk Collegiate

Cape Henry Collegiate

Any other suggestions?

Pray for Stellan!

Love Mckmama's blog! She is an inspiration with kids 3, 2, 1 and one more (Stellan) coming tomorrow. Read about him below:

"MckMuffin is our 36 week old unborn son Stellan- our fourth blessing! He was quite unexpectedly given to us, and even more unexpected was his diagnosis of heart failure: Premature Atrial Contraction at 20 weeks; Supraventricular Tachycardia, hydrops, and intermittent advanced secondary heart block at 23 weeks; and enlargement of the heart at 32 weeks. We were told at 24 weeks that he would surely die. God performed a miracle and MckMuffin is still with us! The doctors are unsure about what will happen to our baby when he is born. But God is not unsure!! We are praying for MckMuffin's full healing, but we know that God is good no matter what He decides."

This guy has touched my heart. I am nervous and Praying for a safe and healthy delivery of this very special boy tomorrow at 9:30am! Check on them by clicking the picture in the left margin over there...

Kidney Stones

Pray for Wayne as he has a kidney stone :( It all started with severe pain yesterday at 5:30am. We headed to the ER and they were able to give him some pain meds that worked after a while- but it was very bad for him. Still in bed today so pray it comes out and that he can go back to work and everything.

Now I'm the Patient

So I failed my glucose tolerance test last week... which means that I (gulp) have gestational diabetes. Which has sent me through a variety of feelings. Majoring and working in the preventative health field I actually taught classes on diabetes-- but always prided myself on being the picture of health since I have always lived an active lifestyle, ate healthy for the most part, and stayed at a good weight and fitness level. Now I have had hypoglycemia since my high school years-- if I didn't eat, my blood sugar would drop really low and I would feel bad. Don't know if that means my body doesn't process glucose well or what- but here I am 30 weeks pregnant with bad blood sugar.

So I have started counting my carbs, and balancing my meals even better. No sweets or high carb stuff. Keeping a log of everything, doing my exercise, and getting a glucometer today to make sure what I'm doing is working.

It makes me concerned for the future somewhat... will it go away after the birth? Will I have it again later in life now? Will I have a 9 lb. baby, and how am I going to push that out??? Overall it has made me realize my body has weaknesses; that I will never be perfectly healthy forever- until I get to heaven. This has also helped me see pride in my heart when it comes to health. And it has helped me to understand others... like my mom who has celiac disease and can't eat anything with wheat in it. (Good job mom on your diet!)

So I am working through it. Pray for my blood sugar :)

Pray

I am helping our nephew Ray buy a townhouse. We had to make an addendum to the contract today and long story short we just need favor from the underwriters of his loan not to make a big deal about the change. Closing is supposed to be March 14. So will you pray for favor, and that the underwriting will go smoothly and we will have an on time closing. And that I wouldn't be anxious.
