I thought my blog readers would enjoy hearing our exciting news!!!!
Jay and I are going to be parents to baby #3 come October!!!!!! I am almost 9 weeks!
The kids have been over excited! We sat them down and told them, LaDessa of course understood, but daddy had to do a little explaining to Benjamin. He told Benjamin that mommy is going to get us a "little bitty baby". Benjamin looked and Jay said "mommy get a PICKLE PICKLE BABY?". When Jay said yes, it finally clicked! Kids are so precious!
We went to the doctor on Thursday to find everything well with the baby! The heartbeat was 156, good and strong!! It was so special and comforting just getting to hear the heartbeat!!!
Wow, what excitement this week has been!!! I will keep you informed as weeks go on!!!!

This & That!
First I will start with an update on mom!
She finally got to come home on Friday evening! She has been doing better (slowly) since she has been home..as we all know, just being home is a healer in itself! She goes back to the doctor this Friday to have stiches taken out, if it is healing correctly. Pray that all will be good and that her kidney will be functioning. Thanks for all the prayers that you have prayed for my mom. It has been prayer that has gotten her thus far!
Through all of the stress with moms procedure, we have had a bit of change and excitement in the past week! We have been looking for a vehicle for some time now.. We loved the car God had blessed us with, but we were starting to have put some big bucks into it. So on Monday the 18th, we purchased a Chevrolet Traverse (SUV)! It was sad having to depart from the Buick, but exciting at the same time, just knowing that we was in the will of God means everything!

It was what I had prayed for....a 8 passenger ride! Something that would be great for family travel and lots of storage space!
We love it!! It is truly a blessing!!
To really get a good test drive...we took a trip to Pigeon Forge Friday evening and came back Sunday. This was a great stress relief for me with what all had been going on around here!
We had family fun, and ate!! Our meals consist of Mama's Farmhouse/Five Guys/TGI Friday's/IHOP/ and snacks from shop to shop! What better thing to do, than eat!
We took the kids on a few go-cart rides.
This was Benjamin's very first ride..and with mom, but you would have thought he had done this for years. He had such a pitiful cry when it came time to leave the cars.
Daddy went faster than mommy, so LaDessa decided to go with dad! She is almost at the height to go by herself! I would say the next time we go, she will be able to drive! (what a scary thought)
We also let the kids ride on the little kiddie rides in kiddie zone...and of course they loved that!
Since this is not a good time of the year to take the kids to the zoo, we stopped by the Three Bears General Store and had a visit with the bears out back, and also got to feed them.
Benjamin wanted to go in a play with them. LOL! What a feast they would have had!
We walk the strip in Gatlinburg, shopped until we dropped and just had a good time with the kids!
The kids were exhausted, and we all had enough of the cold wind...
But, It was a refreshing weekend!
And for those of you that are wondering how the Traverse Test Drive went.. all was well!!

Mom-ma Update!
I just had to give you a update!
Though mom still has a long way to come from all the backsets (still in the hospital), she got a bit of good news today.....Mom was in lots of pain when the doctor walked in this morning. He said he came bringing good news!....After removing everything, he sent it all off. All the test results came back today, and they were all negative!!! The cancer was in the same place they found it in October!! Mom will not have to have any treatments...She is Cancer Free!!! (Thank You Jesus!) God is so good! Even though mom is still having problems recovering, God is still good!
Please, I beg of you.. continue to pray for her recovery. Only God knows what she has went through. We are still looking for god to heal her kidney, and let it start functioning! He is more than able! He has already proved that to me in the past week!
I will end with saying, She even ate a few bites of solid food today for the first time!

MOM!!
I know you guys have been anxiously waiting for a update on my mom...With all the stress and being with her at the hospital, I have been unable to do any blogging.
First off, we went in Friday Morning. They told us it would be a 4 hour surgery and they would keep us posted on everything. It had been about 4 hours and the doctor called and told me that he had encountered something he wasn't expecting and warned me that it would take several more hours. He said he would explain when he got a break to come talk to us. This waiting period felt like a life time, not knowing what he had encountered. He finally comes out to tell us the problem.
A normal person has 1 "ureter" tube that comes out of the kidney into the bladder. For some unknown reason mom was born with two instead of just one, and they were blocked (still unknown as to why), making one of her kidney not even functioning, and caused them to have to use stents. To make a long story short, they done some major repair, which ended up being an 8 hour surgery.
This is the most awesome thing of all....Mom has had a mass of infection the size of a lemon for 2 years...She had been so worried that it would be cancer. One of the first things I ask the doctor when he came down was, "what about the mass, how did it look, did you take it out?" His reply was "It's gone, If there was a mass there, its wasn't there today, because I didn't see anything to look like a mass." This was such encouraging words to hear, and I couldn't wait to get back in the recovery room to tell mom! Only God knows how to help us in time of need! I know he healed my mom from that mass, I saw the test results! It was God!
She is doing very good considering what she has been through. She expects to get out of the hospital Wednesday or Thursday! Please continue to pray for positive test results. They will let us know in the coming days if the cancer spread anywhere else than where they found it.
What a stressful, but blessed week!! Sometime I tend to take good health for granted!
Seeing my mom in this situation has been more than I can hardly take. I have had to remind myself this weekend, Our God is right there for us, all we have to do is reach up, and he will hold us while we cry! He has shown me just how awesome he really is this weekend! God is soo good!
Thanks for all the prayers that are going up for my mom! It has been and will be prayer that brings my mom through!

Prayers!!! Please!!
As most of you know, my mom has been scheduled for surgery three times.. and from being sick, she was unable to go through with the operation....
Tomorrow, Feb 15th she goes in at 5:45am to have it done...please pray for God's protection upon my mom-ma! We will all be glad when it is over, and a speedy recovery begins!
Also, LaDessa's allergies have started bugging her again, please say a prayer for LaDessa as well..I don't think I can handle much more added stress..
Thank You All for your Prayers and Concern! It is greatly appreciated!

Blogger Challenge Day #12!
The Topic for Today is:
"Describe a Typical Day in My Current Life"
I think it would have been easier if I knew which day to post about. With a bit of thinking, I will choose, Wednesday!!
My alarm normally starts off my day, beginning around 6:30. I get dressed and wash my dry sleepy eyes. Good place to start, huh? Before I can function, I have to have a bite of something sweet...and then salty! It doesn't have to be more than a bite, but I have to have it. Its like most people that have to have there coffee! LaDessa's school snack comes next. Her backpack is ready, now I go get her up and ready at the very last moment! After she is off to school, I spend some time with the Lord before Benjamin's eyes pop open. When they finally do, I then spend some one on one time with him. My day from here goes from, doing laundry, changing diapers (in which I hope to do away with very soon), cleaning house, Phone time with my hubby and before I know it..it is already time to go get LaDessa! Time seems to fly...I continue the things that I did before I went to pick up LaDessa (adding some play-time with the kids) until supper time. We all know what that consist of! Now, its time to get things ready for church! My start time is around 5pm (since we only live 3 drive-time minutes from the church). This gives me plenty of time to iron the clothes, bath the kids, and get myself ready, without rushing too hard. We go to church and get recharged! Come home, have a snack, iron the clothes for Thursday and pack Jays lunch (since he leaves around 3-4 am the next morning). By this time, I have tied up all the loose ends from the day, said our bedtime prayers and tucked the kids in bed... Now its time for Jay and I to talk!.. telling each other how our day went! It is hard talking when you have little ears near by! Ya'll know what I mean!
Being a mother is a never ending job!...but at the same time, it is a joy and a wonderful blessing! I wouldn't change it for anything!
There you have my norm on Wednesday (if I am not filling candy orders :)!!
