So, I only had one other incident of crying in snack shop, which is good. I have been super tired the last few weeks. I am having trouble finding foods that I want to eat and don’t gross me out. And randomly through the days I don’t feel good. Mostly nights are worse. I wake up a lot of nights with nausea. But all of that, even though it’s uncomfortable, is a blessing. It reminds me of the blessing God has given us that we don’t deserve! Praise the Lord for morning sickness because that means He’s given us the awesome gift of a baby!
Today was Halloween and we went to Spanish Wells of Trick-or Treating with our little pirate! It was great! I wrote an article about it.

We spent this weekend in Spanish Wells. It was a HUGE blessing to us! The Methodist Church was kind enough to host us for the weekend. And, another great thing, we didn’t have school Friday or Monday, so we were there Thursday night through and Monday and were able to rest and spend time as a family. It was awesome! We stayed in a cute little apartment and got to sit on the balcony every day in the cool breeze. We got to spent some greta time with “Pops and Mama” and other great friends. We also got to attend the People’s Church’s missions conference, which was a blessing. And we got to sit through church at the Methodist church Sunday, without having Ryan preaching. He got to just rest and listen to the sermon, which doesn’t happen a lot for him. The whole weekend was great! (Except for the fact that I didn’t want to eat anything that I usually love at the Gap!)
The greatest part though was on Friday when we went to the doctor and got to see Baby’s heartbeat! God is AMAZING!!!!! I was in awe to see the little heartbeat, so tiny! God has blessed us!

Ryan is having sympathy pains! Well, not really pains, more like sympathy emotions. We were watching something on TV, something funny, not sad, and he all of a sudden started crying! It was super funny! It was nice to have someone else crying! I had to leave snack shop the other day because I was crying, not even crying really…more like balling…blubbering! It was funny too because I was not crying for any reason, and all the kids thought I was crazy! And, I was laughing as I was crying because I knew I was crying for no reason. The line was long, that’s it. It’s nice to have Ryan! I love him!

I flew by myself to Nassau this morning. God paved the way the whole day as I went. He provided a great taxi driver, who we had used before, and who took me to and from the appointment and to the pharmacy. The appointment went ok, except that I was hoping to see the baby only to find that it was too early in the pregnancy to see it. I got the progreterone that I went for though so that good. I was grumpy and tired coming home, but when we got just into the air on the flight back God gave my an amazing sign of His faithfulness, a beautiful rainbow! We were almot literally “over the rainbow!!!!!!” I needed that sign from The Lord at that moment. I was reminded not to fear, but to enjoy the blessing The Lord has given me by His grace and mercy. He is faithful. Not only did I see that one rainbow, but there were more! As we flew, we flew around a huge storm and had to go to hatchet bay then down Eleuthera. Then though we got into another form with lightning and headed back out far to sea again. I began to get a little worried as we headed back in the direction of Nassau. The thing about pineapple air is that you can see the pilot and the whole cockpit and out the fronts window the whole flight. I was able to see the map as we flew. It wasn’t great to see us heading back into Nassau! But, after a few minutes we turned back towards Eleuthera, and there was a double rainbow out the window!!!!! Then after that one ended, another came, and this one was so close to us that it actually almot made a full circle!!!!! I was AMAZING!!!! God reminded me again and again of His faithfulness! I am definitely putting this pictures in the baby book whe our precious little one is born!!

Today we found out that we are going to have another baby. After five long years, God has shown His faithfulness by blessing us with another child. My heart is filled with praise! I took a test this morning,assuming it would be negative because I took one a few days ago and it was negative. But there it was…two pink lines. I had planned for five year how I would tell Ryan if I ever got pregnant again, but all I could do was cry, well, sob, and I could barely breathe. I scared him to death when I woke him up sobbing and waving a pregnancy test in his face, again, just like with. Micah. I’m so very happy. I have to admit that I have some fear that I am going to have to turn over to The Lord. It is HIS baby! He will take care of it! Ryan and I have been mentally and emotionally everywhere all day. We went to Sky beach after church! And the Packers won! Great day! Praise The Lord, oh my soul..all my inmost being praise His holy Name!!!!!!!
