Hello to all....like is busy as I am sure it is with you all as well. I have been working 2 or 3 days a week to try and help out around here. I am enjoying getting out a little for sure. Cory has been busy working at our Church's property helping out with the new building every day of this week. Meredith is her usual happy self. She continues to amaze me with her speech and questions these days. Almost everything I do is a "what doin' momma or what's that?" We can really carry on a conversation too. Today she kept running into the den, getting a toy, bringing it to me and then saying "I need something else, " and repeating this over and over. It was really cute. She also told me today that she was going to lay down some papers she was carrying "beside" her.....and even used it in the correct context. It is really cute to see her mind going and growing.
Today she had a melt down when I dropped her off for school. The past 2 weeks Cory dropped her off, but today because momma did, she decided to break out all the tears. She even ended up keeping her night night with her. I had to leave her crying hard after I explained that I would be back at lunch time. When I peeked in later I saw her teacher, Ms. Renay, rocking her with her night night. When I came to get her, she was happy and I was informed that she did great all day. I have a preschoolers meeting in the morning where I will have to leave her again, but this time at a new place with new people and new helpers. I am not looking forward to that departure. I pray that she will be okay. I am hoping maybe practice makes perfect and she will see how much fun it will be.
We made it through the last 2 weeks still smiling, Praise God...He is who He says He is...GOOD!!!
We had 2 great baby showers for Aunt Lindsey and a good Drs appointment saying all is looking good for her baby. Only 3-5 weeks to go. She is shooting for around the 13th of October...I cannot believe she will be here that soon. I was excited this week and put up the Pack n Play and got out a kick n crawl play mat. I also got out Meredith's changing pad and I have to say it was fun and super exciting. I can wait to just love on her. I hope I can get my fair share of Avery lovin' through all the other exicted family members. I will Try to not be a hog....notice I said try.
I had a great opportunity fall into my lap this week and I would like to share it for others to know and be praying with me. I was approached by my boss to take on a new shift at work perminently with our lactation department. It was a hard thing for me to turn down, as this is a real DREAM of mine to step into this area more, but in this season of my life, Meredith is too young for me to be gone the hours it requires (5-9pm every night of the week). In our discussion about me not being able to do this at this time in my life, my boss offered to send me to a 40 hour class that is required in order for me to sit for the Lactation Consultant Boards. This is a board exam, just like when you become a nurse. In order to sit for the boards you have to have met certain criteria. I have alreay fulfilled the one on one contact hours dealing with patient care working with the Lactation Department over the past few years. The only thing I had left was to attend this particular class.....VERY expensive...Hundreds of dollars. This has been a dream of mine, but now my boss has offered me the opportunity to do this through my job. PRAISE HIS NAME!! Can you tell I am excited about the opportunity??? Cory and I haven't decided if this is feasible for us at this time, but I am thankful to have the opportunity. God will open doors as HE sees fit and I know He is in control. Whenever I fret over things I desire, I can find comfort in knowing that God is not ringing His hands over my situation, He already knows and has it figured out, so why should I worry? God help me to remember this next week too. He is also always faithful to bring this to mind when I need to hear it most...sometimes using lips of clay. Thank you God! I am sorry to be long winded about this, but I desire for others to know and understand what I am going through at this time. I will let you know as things transpire.....the biggest issue is finding help with our sweet girl for the week I would be gone in February for the class. I know God will provide as we seek Him and His will.
Good luck to our Gamecocks on Saturday...Go COCKS!!!!
