Almost 10 Months

PJ and I have been married for almost 10 months now, and our little one is due in just a day! How incredible the blessings of the Lord and His faithfulness? 

PJ's work is going so well! He is ahead with the schedules for his store, preparing his staff for his vacation/family leave, and he has just been so much more encouraged lately. It has been so nice that he's been able to come home on time most every night and seeing him in a better mood. There are still difficult customers and slow floaters, but the store is in a good place. 

These past 2 weeks have been the longest out of the last 9 months! AJ is due tomorrow, mom has been encouraging me that she thought she would be early, and now I'm just exhausted and uncomfortable. We also found out that our neighbors are expecting, too! She is due around Christmas. In my looney state of mind, I had a dream that she had her baby before me and he was perfectly healthy. 

I felt like Rachel from FRIENDS when she has Emma and she is in labor for hours upon hours and mother after mother keep coming into triage and leaving for delivery, "I've been here longer!" 

Please be praying for a safe delivery, hopefully one without being induced next week, but if that does happen, pray that AJ still comes safely. Thank you all for your love and encouragement and prayers.

Five Months Ago (From 4/29/2015)

Five months ago, PJ and I were married. We have had a blast with one another since and are looking forward to the new adventures that the Lord has in store for us!

We have finally been able to connect with our neighbors a little more and I am looking forward to hopefully having dinner with them this week. It has filled up pretty quick! It is going to be hectic and I am not looking forward to another late shift for PJ this Friday.

The schedule has been rough these last couple of weeks. PJ has had inventory and is having a difficult time with staff emergencies (last minute schedule changes and a tech who had to go on leave). She could sure use some prayer, too, because it was not a good health situation. Lord willing, with some care and medication, she'll be back soon.

One exciting thing for PJ is that his new intern just began. His training has come full circle and now he has the opportunity to be the first boss for a new Pharmacy student. Please pray for patience and encouragement as they adjust. Fortunately, she seems very motivated and ready to learn! He will also be hiring another part time staff member soon. I believe he is just waiting for clearance from "upstairs" and a few more applicants.

I am excited for our ultrasound tomorrow! It is going to be an exciting day. There may or may not be a new due date and they should be able to tell us the gender!!! We will post the reveal once we get our photos taken, until then, I hope to see some guesses here ;D

It has been such a blessing to get to know fellow moms more and more at church and connect even

more with the ones that I have known already. You all are such an encouragement, and I cannot thank you enough for your kind words and constant comfort through this process. I still cannot believe I am already half way through my first pregnancy!

Love you all, and talk soon! <3
