Answered Prayer

While my prayer to return to BG has not yet been answered... we did have another prayer answered. I have been unemployed for a while now. And while I did enjoy my time off to focus on IVF and relax during the first half of my pregnancy, it has still been a bit of a burden. I need to be working right now. And we have really been getting down to crunch time, still uncertain of so much. Today, I found out... that it looks like I will once again have a job. Some of the details are still being worked out, and I don't want to go into too much detail until everything is set in stone, but what a relief and answered prayer. Moving to BG is still our number one prayer. But in the meantime, we still need to be able to support ourselves, especially since we don't know if and when an opportunity in BG will come up. This job is kind of prayer number one and a half. It is the perfect situation with a family that I adore. Its not a job, its a joy {and I mean that.} And if our time to move doesn't come for another year, this situation will meet our needs in allowing me to keep Baby Morgan with me. Praise God.

Still super excited about my ultrasound on Monday! I did have some weird cramping last night. I woke up with moderately painful cramps that would last for 30 seconds to a minute, then they'd go away and I'd fall back asleep. That repeated several times throughout the early morning. Then they stopped after about 8 am. Weird. So I called my midwife, just to make sure it isn't something to be concerned about. She thought they were likely just round ligament pain from the ligaments being pulled. Obviously, if it happens again or stronger, I'll have to call back. I'm not worried, but I am glad that I'll be getting an update at the beginning of the week just for a bit of reassurance.

And.. I think we have settled on our top two boy's names AND our top two girl's names. One of the two girl's names is more of a favorite than the other, but we'd like to keep the options open. Nathan and I are definitely on the same page with names now. It has definitely been a challenge finding the right balance of uniqueness without being weird or completely unheard of.

I know everyone is probably dealing with the cold, maybe snowy weather, but I hope you are staying warm and cozy. {Its even cold in West Texas!}
