Holidays are coming

Well the holidays are coming, which means I'm gonna be a little emotional. Haha shocker. Poor James has had to deal with me going from laughing at something he said to crying the next second and not knowing why I'm crying. So this holiday season is going to be a blast for me with all the tears. Anyways, some exciting news. My mother in law is coming up for Thanksgiving this year. She will get to Bethel on the 18th and then James' uncle will fly down on the 19th to pick her and I up and take us to Aniak. We will spend the week there celebrating. James will fly up that Wednesday. Praying that he makes its since he will be flying non rev. He will have two chances to make it that day. Hopefully he will make it on the first flight that way he can spend some time with his mom. I'm really excited to be able to go up there for Thanksgiving. Haven't seen the family since July. We most likely won't make it for Christmas this year since it falls on James' work schedule. So we will get to spend our first and only Christmas with just the two of us, since next year we will have a little boy with us.  
This Thursday I'll be 25 weeks. Oh my word it's coming up quickly. I've been feeling Payton kicking more. Yesterday during church he was kicking through a whole song. He's never kick that much at one time. (That I felt)  A couple of weeks ago James finally got to feel him kick for the first time. It was really exciting. He loves kicking me in the bladder and all of my surrounding organs. I rarely feel him kick the "outside". Every now and then if I have my hand on my belly I might feel him. I can't wait for February to get here so we can meet him. It also means we only will have a few months left until we had to the lower 48 to visit our families. Looking forward to seeing everyone.

At the end

It's 8:05 pm the night before my due date. I can't believe I'm the end of my pregnancy. I know that Payton can be late, but knowing the end is near is kinda nice. I've enjoyed being pregnant, but these last 3 weeks have been really hard for me. I not the biggest fan of surprises. I have to know what or when something is going to happen. James has a hard time surprising me because I'm always trying figure out what he is doing. *He did surprise me today with some chocolate and a Valentines day card*  Anyways knowing that Payton could come any time excites me, but also terrifies me. I mean when in the world is he going to show. I wish I could just be give a date saying that he will be born that day. Not a due date since most babies are not born on their actual due date. Poor James, I've kept him up numerous time in the past few weeks freaking out, stressing, etc. over this whole not knowing and knowing that I can't do anything about it really. God knows and I h...

Trusting.

Well, I've been going down the road of life trying to trust God in every situation. I'm praying and hoping that my husband can get a job soon, seeing since we are out of money and have bills still coming, mostly my student loans. I'm struggling with all of this just because James doesn't have a job yet. I'm sure I wouldn't be as stressed out if we had some money flow coming in.   During all of this I think back to when my dad had his open heart surgery 9 months ago. My mom was also trusting and believing that God would provide during that time. My parent's had bills coming in and had no money to pay them. My dad had his surgery on the monday before thanksgiving in 2010. My mom would come home during the week stay and there would be money in the mail for her and it was always enough to get her through.  I wish I could be like my mom and have the faith that she did. I've been very emotional during all of this. I haven't gotten a good night rest since...

might be good-bye for now, but not forever.

Almost every night I have a hard time falling asleep. Half of the time it's because I just am not tired enough to fall asleep, the other half is because my brain won't shut off. I always have different things that I want to write about in a blog, but then by the morning I forget about it. During the day I think oh I should write a blog.  I told James that I want to write one blog per week for the whole year. He just laughed at me and said, you'll run out of things to write about. Right now I feel like he is write, but on the other hand I feel like I can write a lot. Everything I want to write about is getting pregnant and the separation period with James being in a different village. So I guess I won't be writing a blog for awhile, since my last I don't know how many blogs have been about getting pregnant and my separation time. I don't want to bore all the people that might actually read this. So unless I can think of something else, you might not hear from me ...
