I'm just amazed at God. He is so amazing! I just read a story at MadeToShine's diary that made me want to shout for joy!( I have a diary at bloopdiary) How can we not want to serve the awesome God, Jehovah? I mean,come on! He cares so much about our every need. It's just unreal to hear stories like this and know there are people who don't believe. No matter what they feel about other Christians or Christianity,how can you not give God a try? I feel sorry for those who do not know His goodness,mercy,grace,forgiveness,love,kindness,awesomeness,might,strength,joy,peace,comfort,and so on. I do not know what I would be like without all of those things that God freely gives me and shows me. Without God I would not be who am I or where I am in life. I know for sure that God has proved himself over and over to me personally. Even though I fail Him daily, He will forgive me if I ask for it and never remember my sin. I mean, a m a z i n g!
Our cabinets are so nice! I love them! I still can't get my computer to upload them for some reason. I looked through my baby name book earlier and wrote down some names I like. I tried to put some together too. Mike isn't fond of Hannah Joye or Michael Timothy. He does like Michael Brian. :-) Here are some names I like: Girl:Ada,Allie,Anah,Annalise,Ava,Beth,Bianca,Brianna,Hannah,Kate,Laurel,Marie,Mackayla,Olivia,and Shiloh. Boy: Benjamin,Bennett,Elliott,Isaiah,James,Jonathan,Josiah,Kadin,Noah,and Stephen. Now here are some I put together: Michael Timothy,Hannah Joye,Joshua Caleb,Mary Kate,Aaron Seth,Olivia Kate, and Mackayla Anah. I love the name Kate,oh I have fallen in love with it! I really like Olivia Kate! I love the name Joshua and Aaron too. I know it's early,but by the time we find out what the baby is I want a name picked out. So you like? Any other name suggestions? I'm secretly, really, wanting a girl. I am sure you all knew this. I just can't help it,I think it's human nature. Of course, I'll love it even if it's a boy,I would not trade anything for Daniel Paul. And I just love that name! Too bad I can't name them all that haha How crazy would that be? I thought about using Paul for the middle name of each boy,but I don't know. It may not sound right.
I have been doing my exercises and continuing to eat good. No sweets and no sodas. I'm trying to drink the amount of water recommended. I also started walking this morning. I loaded Daniel up and we walked around the complex. Mike assured me I would be fine. I was. :-) There wasn't hardly anyone at home and Glenn was about doing maintenance if I needed him. I walked for 30 minutes. I'm going to attempt to do that every day. I really need too. I am still talking my vitamins too! I'm just so proud of myself! Last time was very trying,but I feel so inspired this time. I see my goal,to have a VBAC, and know what I need to do (some) to get there. I have been tempted by some brownies,but I did not give in ha! I can't wait to go see Cindy! I'm sure Tammy will want to see me soon after the 1st visit. For those who don't know, Cindy is a Certified Nurse Midwife and Tammy is a Doula (Child Birth Assistant) and midwife. I used them last time together and it was wonderful!
Daniel has pee peed in the potty 5 times since Friday!! He did it once Friday,twice Saturday,once yesterday,and once today! I think he actually understands what I want him to do. Saturday night Mike sit him on the potty and said pee pee on the potty. Well, after a few minutes he was acting frustrated. I thought he just wanted off. So I waited a few more minutes,then took him off and he had used the bathroom. I think he did it to begin with and was wanting to get off haha This morning when he woke up I put him on it and said lets change diaper,pee pee on the potty. He did it. We give him a small marsh mellow for a reward haha We clap and act all happy,but he doesn't seemed too impressed. It's hilarious. He is such a smart boy, really. I'm just going to keep doing it everyday. It's so neat to watch him learn. I usually put him on it about 10 minutes after he drinks something,after he wakes up,or after a bath,those times seem to work. He hasn't pooped yet,it's hard to know when he'll do that. I'm sure ya'll just want to hear about my son's bathroom experiences.
I am gonna run now. My post before is At the Well,be sure to check it out! Hope everyone has a blessed week!!
