Rough week..

This week has been...well...no joyride that's for sure. Why do weeks like this happen? I mean I can seriously handle a bad day, but when it just keeps escalating, it's really hard for me to lay it all down and trust that things will work out. Just being honest.

I hate that life revolves around money. I mean, I wouldn't consider myself a big spender by no means, but life just requires money. House payments, electricity, groceries all require it. Josh's business is still really slow right now. And I always thought that with Josh being self-employed, I was really trusting God with our finances. But we are definitely learning to trust on a new level completely. And it's harder than I ever imagined.

The weirdest thing is that we've gone through slow times with the business before, but this is almost like all the doors are shutting. So not only are we trying to trust God with our finances, but we are also in the position of trusting Him to show us what the next step is. And it feels like we're just waiting, waiting, waiting. As I've said before, I'm just not good at that. But I'm really trying to learn how to be!

Anyways, I guess we could really use some prayers right now. Just for doors to open up. And for Josh to have wisdom of what career he needs to be in, etc. And for peace during this whole period. That would be really nice!

In other news, I had two doctor's appointments this week. Yesterday I went to the specialist in Albany and had another ultrasound. Everything looked good, but he said the baby was on the small side. So he wants to recheck in two weeks to make sure the growth is ok. I'm not really too worried about that though. I mean, they put me on a diet and I eat what I can, and ALL the time..but I've still lost almost 10 pounds. So, I think it's just part of that which I can help with.

I went to my regular doctor this morning, and everything looks good! Still no contractions, so I'm really happy about that! That means no contraction meds, and no bed rest so far! Which really helps when you have two small babies at home! :) I guess those progesterone shots are doing what they need to be doing!

Anyways, that's all for now! I'll update again! And thank you in advance for the prayers!
