Tuesdays thoughts

12 weeks along now and am ready to she adios to the Nassau and vomiting! Almost there...
What I can't get enough of is grapefruit juice, cereal, and roasted veggies. A few nights ago I fried corn tortillas and oven roasted zucchini, red and yellow pepper. I tossed the veggie's in o.o. cumin, oregano,salt, n pep. Next I made an aioli. Sour cream, fresh basil, a bit of minced garlic, and smoked paprika. Dinner was soooo good. Cereal is my life savor, it's more often my breakfast and dinner.
The joys of Motherhood. :)
This pregnancy has me thrown for a loop; an unexpected pregnancy vs a planned one has me all jumbled. However, this is my last so I am just going to have to enjoy every bit of it.
Today upon picking up my ever so dramatic 3(almost4) year old actually introduced me to a new friend she made! I love having girls although their dramatics can be so exhausting. When I walked in Isabelle's watch care room they were playing Simon Says. The class leader says 'Simon says who's mommy just walked in?' Isabelle ran up to me with her friend in tow (holding hands) and politely introduced us to one another. Apparently I'm supposed to set up a play date now.
Being a girl is too much fun.
My 17 month old is up after a short nap while the 3 year old us going on over 2 hours? Someone explain that one. :)
At church on Sunday I was reminded of God's plan for me, as a military wife you think you have so much in order and in a second it can all change. From deployments to change of duty stations to just l-i-f-e! Between Lydia's 2 day a week PT, being pregnant, keeping our home clean and running smoothly it is exhausting. God has a plan, I don't know why we go through the things we do. Why my husbands superiors are choosing him as a target at work to take their anger out on, why my 3 year old has an all outfit because I asked her to keep her socks on, or why I can't stand the sight of chicken! But hey, it's all in his plan. We sang a song called 'beautiful things'
(http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oyPBtExE4W0) on Sunday and its just such a beautiful reminder that when life isn't going as planned or we're hurting about something, be our children, a sickness, a move, a loss that its all in God's plan. I don't know why I had to have a daughter with SB, my heart aches for her to wiggle her toes and feel the soft cotton of her socks. To put on a pretty pair of Mary Janes and walk, but its God's plan for her to be this way. I'm not angry but sweetly reminded that God gave her to Jake and I, that he choose for to be Isabelle's little sister and that our life is so much better with her. So what that I will 2 kids to carry around, so what? He is in control and that comforts me. Cause all the crying all the anger, all the negative time wasted is just that. Wasted time.
So if your feeling down folks, just remember sometimes we go through things, unexpected, not so nice, not in our "plan". We keep going though...
Well a little person in the house is pining for my attention so it's off to play tea.
