After having some time to take in I've felt more at peace being able to handle things, and realize what I need is to be around friends, and family as much as possible. A few people have offered to come over, and help me do things around the house, and others have offered to come over, and just spend time with me. All are wonderful things, a few people have even asked to take me out or go do things which is also helpful.
Another thing I have noticed that is very helpful is that I need to spend time taking care of others who need me. Simple things like getting my husband, and the guys he works with waters at work. I may not be able to do a lot of things, but knowing that they need to be taken care of, and hydrated is something I can do, and it gets me out of the house. It's also a cheap way to spend time out. I get my social interaction that way, and feel needed on top of that.
I've been able to think about things differently this week. I've had opportunities to talk to people with out being rushed or bursting into tears or getting upset. I know things need to be talked about that aren't always going to be pleasant. I am still trusting God knows what he is doing even if his plan isn't what I want it to be I can still share his wonderful blessings with those around us, and even the doctors, and nurses. I am being overwhelmed by those who are caring, and putting forth the effort to help us any way they can. I am doing my best to make sure that I am being clear when I talk to people, and hoping people are forgiving in areas that I fail to do so in explaining our situation. I am always willing to answer questions to the best of my ability. Comments on my page are welcome, or private messages even, or even a phone call for those who have or want my number. I enjoy talking, and telling about how God is working even still in our lives through this crazy time. I still have to trust, and will continue to trust that God is sovereign, He is the almighty God.
Some things I've noticed about Drexel I want to share with you are these. Around Mothers day I decided I wanted a ring that had Drexel's birth stones on it, Sapphire for September. I also decided I wanted his name on the outside engraved, our dedication verse on the inside of the ring so I could always remember.
Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding' and he will make your paths straight".
When I decided I wanted the ring my youngest brother, and my mom started doing some ring shopping, and found some really nice ones, but then they found the perfect one, and showed it to me. I fell in love with it. I wish I could wear it now I can't even wear my wedding rings because of all the swelling in my hands.
The other thing I want to tell you about Drexel is that my husband read some where, I can't find the link now but he read that it meant "To turn, or, turner". It caught my attention because of the no amniotic fluid situation, and the fact that he can't turn head down yet his name with out us knowing prior means to turn.
I haven't really spent a lot of time talking about marriage, and being frugal yet, but in all I feel like those are daily things that people see about James, and I. We do our best to make our ends meet. Always paying bills even when its tight, but God always gets us through. Some have asked me if I am going back to work after Drexel is born. My answer is still unknown. However, I am doing what I can to sell It works products which I would love to talk to anyone about, and help you get started either as a distributor or a loyal customer. I also have a few other things coming up that are pretty exciting that I get to share with my mother! That excitement will have to wait for a later blog post though! The point is there are things that you can do from home to make or save money. I am learning those ways. I will in the future make a blog post about each one of those things to help others understand that you can make money from home. So for now Trust in the Lord with all your heart!
