Need I remind you?

There is an episode of the TV show Friends where Rachel believes herself to be pregnant.  She has already had one positive pregnancy test, but when Phoebe and Monica find out, they have her take another one.  Phoebe reads the test results for her and continues to tell her that she is not pregnant.  She then cries, even though she really didn't want to be pregnant in the first place.  Of course Phoebe was just testing her and then continues to say, "well now you know how you really feel!"  Well I start with that because I had a little bit of that scenario happen to me last week.  Jason and I have decided that 2 is it for us biologically, for many different reasons.  I have even recently said to my pregnant sister, "I am so happy you are pregnant and not me."  I genuinely feel that way, but once and awhile I get a feeling.  So last Friday I started to count days and started to get a bit panicked, but it hadn't been too long so I wasn't completely worried.  All I had to do was wait one day and I got my answer, but for a woman it only takes one day to come to terms with the fact that you may have another baby, and then you have your nursery colors picked out and names decided on.  My pregnancies are rough and the bed rest with the last one didn't help and of course there is that terminal disorder that our first child died from.  There is a list as to why we have made this decision, but of course I am a mother, I am allowed to have those moments.  That is why my husband is there to say to me, "need I remind you..."  So needless to say, I am okay with this, and we may adopt someday.  I also need to remind myself that my children sleep through the night, they feed themselves, 1 of 2 is potty trained and they can talk!!  I guess I need to start cherishing the little things that they do know so 10 years down the road I am not wishing they were toddlers again. God has truly blessed us with a wonderful family with two very expressive children!!

A day in the life

"A day in the life" is a famous song by a group you may have all heard of.  They are my favorite band for many different reasons, this song being one of them.  If you know me well you know I am talking about the Beatles.  This song is one of there more popular ones, not to the general public, but to the true fans.  I am one of them, therefore it is a favorite.  The thing that makes this song so popular is actually quite odd.  It is actually 2 songs in one.  One part is a song written by John, and the other Paul.  They are two completely different beats and styles.  Their producer decided that alone the songs were incomplete, but together they made a masterpiece.  The other thing that makes this song so unique is that it is just what is says, "a day in the life."  Because the two pieces were written by two different people, they ended up being two completely different days in two completely different lives.  The first written by John is sad and melodic, the second by Paul is peppy and just a minute by minute explanation of his day, nothing very exciting, just life.  You are all probably wondering were I am going with us, but I do have a point. That song feels a lot like my life.  God took two very different people with two completely different ideas, styles and interests and had them fall in love and create a home with a family in it.  I am talking about Jason and I, not John Lennon and Paul McCartney.  Like John and Paul, Jason and I do have one thing in common.  For John and Paul it was music and their love for it.  For Jason and I, it is our faith and love for the Lord.  Out of that musical relationship came a beautiful song, out of Jason and my relationship came two beautiful children and hopefully a home that will bring glory to God.  This blog is mostly for me as a little bit of sanity in the midst of my crazy life, but I hope some of you may enjoy hearing about " a day in my life"!
