Homeschooling Zorro!
• Jun. 27, 2008 - Friday Show And Tell
• May. 28, 2008 - Weblink Wednesday
• May. 27, 2008 - Last Week!
This will be our final week of 3rd grade and Zorro is really excited that summer is on the way!!! I am just glad we finally got through with everything especially over the last few months!!! :-)
We will be taking the months of June and July off and then starting 4th grade on the first Monday in August. During this time we will be moving (to a bigger house) and celebrating another birthday. Zorro turns 9 on June 9th and so along with planning our move over the next 2 weeks, we will also be planning a birthday party!!! Pray for me!!! LOL
As for our new little one, please continue to pray for us. I received a call last week from my dr's office informing me that she discovered I have partial placenta previa. I have to admit I was in total shock for a few days, but have finally given it to God and we are believing that the placenta will move over the next few months and the baby will be born without any complications!
BTW, please pray for Zorro, as well. His beloved guinea pig died a few weeks ago and he is still very sad at times. :-(
That's about it for now. Although we will be finishing up our school year this week, I still plan on reading blogs and posting every now and then over our summer break. Hopefully after the move and after the baby arrives, I'll be able to blog a little more than I have been these last few months!!!
Hope everyone's having a great week!!!

• May. 16, 2008 - Ultrasound update...
We had our ultrasound yesterday morning as scheduled and baby looks great!!! Unfortunately we were not able determine the gender. That's right - our little one had it's back turned to us the entire time and even though it was extremely active, it just wouldn't turn over. The tech tried for over an hour, but apparently our little one was too comfortable ... or maybe too modest... to show us anything!!!
Needless to say, we have been waiting a while to find out so we were a bit disappointed that we were unable to see anything. Until today...
I had another doctor's appt earlier today and apparently there were a few other things that the tech was unable to see clearly because of the baby's position. Because of this, my dr has scheduled us for another ultrasound on May 30th!!!
Prayerfully the baby will be facing us this time and we'll be able to tell this time!!! :-)
PS Thanks to those who've asked about what we found out!!! Sorry it took me awhile to get this posted!!!

• May. 15, 2008 - Ultrasound later today... :-)
We finally have our ultrasound later this morning and are so excited!!! Our appt is at 10:30 am and we can't wait to find out if we're going to have a little girl or boy.
Please pray that everything goes well... that the baby is still healthy -- and we are praying for a daughter this time... pray, pray, pray!!! LOL (Again, we will still be happy if it's a boy, too!!!)
Thanks so much for all the prayers and I will post again real soon... :-) |

• May. 9, 2008 - Update on Zorro...
Thank you so much to everyone who prayed for Zorro yesterday!!!
As for the dr appt, Zorro was diagnosed with Cyclic Abdominal Migraines. He was given meds to take each night to prayerfully prevent anymore of these headaches. He was also given meds to take if he has another headache... I am believing he won't have to take any of these!
This has actually been going on for several years, but it used to be that Zorro would vomit repeatedly for no reason and then he would be just fine the next morning. It had been a while since he'd been sick like this until about 2 months ago. Only this time, he began having major headaches along with the vomiting.
Thanks again for your prayers and please continue to pray for him! We are believing that God has already healed him and that this whole situtation is a thing of the past!!! |

• May. 8, 2008 - Please Pray...
Please pray for Zorro! He has a dr's appt at 10:45 am today. He has been getting very sick with headaches ... at least one a week over the last four weeks. Headaches are extremely painful and make him really sick at his stomach. Please pray that dr will find what is triggering these headaches and for complete healing!
Thanks!!! :-) |

• Apr. 27, 2008 - 19 Weeks Already!!!
It's hard to believe that our newest little one will be here in less than 5 months... AGGHHH!!! I would've never guessed several months ago that we would be almost halfway to having another child right now. It's not what I had originally planned, but what a nice surprise! :-)
I've had several people asking how I'm feeling these days and to tell the truth, although I am over the morning sickness, I still have days where I don't feel too great. I do push myself a little more nowadays, but it can still be really difficult sometimes.
Here are more answers to some other questions I've been asked -
Do I look pregnant now? Yes! I do have a "baby bump" now and it seems to get bigger and bigger each day. I began wearing my maternity clothes this past week so I really look pregnant in those. The neat thing is, I had just lost almost 35 lbs when I found out I was pregnant so most of the clothes I had set aside to give away have become part of my maternity wardrobe. LOL
Have I felt the baby move? Yes! I felt this baby move a lot earlier than I did with Zorro so I've been feeling it move for well over a month now. I began feeling little kicks about 2 weeks ago!!! So sweet!!!
Any weird cravings? Not so far. The only thing I "crave" I guess would be orange soda... which I really don't care for any other time.
And the questions I am asked the most (I'm sure all parents are aware of these - LOL) -
Are you going to find out the gender? We are hoping to. My next ultrasound is scheduled for May 15. I'll be almost 22 weeks at that point so we should be able to ... if baby cooperates.
Are you hoping for a boy or girl? Honestly, we are praying for a daughter this time, but would still be ecstatic if it is a little boy. Zorro on the other hand is praying for a brother! LOL
Have you picked out any names yet? Yes! Bethany Grace for a girl and Caden Alexander for a boy.
That's all I can remember at this moment, but if I can think of anymore questions I'll add my answers in another post.
God bless!!! |

• Apr. 9, 2008 - Wordless Wednesday - Our Newest Little Gift From God!!!
• Apr. 8, 2008 - Still Alive... :-)
It has been quite some time since I last wrote so I thought I'd write and let everyone know we are FINE!
I am finally completely over the morning sickness and feeling a lot better now. Thanks so much to everyone who has been praying for us ... your prayers are appreciated more than you could ever know.
As for our new little one, I am 16 weeks along now. I had an ultrasound since my last post and everything looks great ... and, no, we weren't able to tell the gender just yet - too early! I do go for another ultrasound in a few weeks so prayerfully we'll be able to tell then. :-)
As for Zorro, he is so excited about becoming a big brother! He asks me constantly about how the baby is doing and even kisses my tummy at least once or twice a day... it's really sweet!!!
As for homeschooling, we are slowly getting back into the swing of things. Over the last month or two, we've been doing a lot of worksheets and educational programming. We are still doing all of our subjects, but are doing a different subject every week instead of doing all subjects every day. We will probably have to homeschool through June this year to make up for some of the days we missed while I was sick, but we should still be able to take the entire month of July off.
Just wanted to update everyone on how we've been doing. I am really sorry it's taken so long for me to get back on here, but I am sure I'll be blogging a lot more now that I'm feeling better!!! :-)

• Apr. 1, 2008 - New Website
• Feb. 20, 2008 - Still Here...
Just wanted to write a short note to let everyone know that we are still here. I apologize that I haven't written in a while, but I've been very sick over the last few weeks with morning sickness, etc. Those with children know what I'm talking about... :-)
I did want to say thank you to everyone for the sweet comments and let you know that I really appreciate them!!! (((HUGS!!!)))
As for our new baby, this was TOTALLY unexpected!!! According to several doctors I am infertile, but according to God - nothing is impossible!!!
Honestly I am still a little bit in shock, but very excited! I did find out that I am due on Sept 19 so I am a little over 9 weeks at the moment.
I will write a little bit more about everything later. Hope you are all having an awesome week!!! :-)

• Jan. 25, 2008 - Whatever Weekends
www.homeschoolblogger.com/SALT
Dh is on call this weekend so we probably won't be able to do too much.
I am hoping to get more of the basement cleaned out and some other things done around the house... so much to do, not even sure where to begin! LOL
I do plan on spending a lot of time with my guys though and hopefully we're going to have an awesome time as a family this weekend. We have discussed going swimming this weekend at the Y... thank God for indoor swimming pools!!! Of course, I'll probably be working out while they have fun in the water, but that's ok, too. :-)
Hope you have a wonderful weekend and please visit Karen's link for all the details on Whatever Weekends and share what you're going to be doing this weekend!!! :-)
