Another prayer request....

As many of you read, last month, on Eric's blog he went to Fl. to meet his birth father. He has Mestasis and was given, at the time, only 8 months to live. Well, last night Granny called, his birth father's mom, and said the Edward was not eating anything and that they had brought in hospice. They are expecting him to pass any day now.
Things to pray for;
1. this is Granny's only child and she needs God's peace and strength.
2. Eric's older brother Chris (it is his birth father too) that it would be a wakeup call for him to change his lifestyle.
3. Eric, that God would give him the words to say to both Chris and Granny.
4. Me, It is only 29 days till I am due but as many of you know babies don't excatly come when they are "scheduled" to. The thought of Eric being 5 hours away and the possibility of me going into labor makes me uneasy. But, I do want him to go to the funeral, whenever that may be.

I confess....

I am looking forward to Sunday. It will be an action packed day. First off is church and since it is friend Sunday we are having lunch afterward. After lunch my shower will start at 2. While I am a bit uncomfortable having something that is for me I am still excited. If you are not busy you can stop by and say hello! I have another confession.... I sometimes look at my registry on-line and see has been taken off.... shhhhh don't tell....

Inauguration Reaction

While this http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27721638/vp/28738320#28738320 was a great way to start I was VERY offended by the "prayer" of Dr. Joseph Lowery. If you have 5 minutes you need to hear this "prayer" he offered. I don't know what god he was "praying" to but it is definately not mine. Go to http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27721638/vp/28738420#28738420 he is the former president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. Where he says

"...Help us to hold on to our fellowship and the oneness of our family. Let us take that power back to our homes, our work places, our churches our temples, our mosques. Wherever we seek your will."
Um, who's will are you seeking buddy? Another statement that made me mad was...

"...Lord we ask you to help us to work for that day when black will not be asked to get back. When brown can stick around. When yellow will be mellow. When the red man can get ahead man and when white would embrace what is right."

What do you mean when white will embrace what is right? Who are you to tell me what is right? My bible tells me what is right. Are you saying that all white people are wrong in everything or just that all white people are racist?!?!?!?!?!?!? But did this "prayer" make your local news? NOPE! If a white person thad said when black would embrace what is right then we would be getting sued and racial discrimination would be all over the news. I don't like Obama just because of his politics, I don't care what color he is... I didn't like Clinton either!!!! There are stupid white people out there, and in general just stupid people out there. But don't put me in a catagory and assume I don't know what is right because I am white, you know since I picked my race and all....

Sorry, this just put me over the top. But don't tell me not to be racist and then make a remark about every race that exists. Notice the only people he embraced where black and brown people.... ok, I'm done. But what do you think?

Doc visit

All is well, except for the swelling. They checked everything out though just in case.... too much swelling is a sign of preclasmia. I had to take that "fun" strep test, yippie. He ordered me to watch my salt and drink tons of water and to put my feet up whenever I can. I have officially put on 35lbs, which would be hard to believe except now even my maternity pants are getting too small.... go figure.

Hodge podge

I think we might get Corban dedicated in this outfit. It has a little blue hat thing that goes with it. Mom got it for him for Christmas.

This is Zoe. She is full grown and we are guessing 4-5 years old. She is a mutt but I have learned most of the time mutts make the best pets. We got her a pink collar with sparkles.. the one she had on was green. Now she is all girl! When she is happy or excited she will "dance" by standing up on her back paws and raising her front paws into the air, I will try to get this on video, it is so cute!

Where to start? I had lots of fun at the Celine concert Thurs. night! Our seats were in the nose bleed but before Celine came out we helped our selves to some empty ones on the lower level. One of her dancers kept my attention the whole time. It was in the girl costumes and looked like it had a chest but was bald and had man arms and legs.... I don't think we will ever know.....

Corban has been hours of entertainment. He is awake more often now and apparently likes to dance (he also loved the concert). Last night for an hour or so Eric and I were able just to sit there and watch my tummy move, he was rolling all around. Eric would talk to him and he would move again. He loves to stick his foot on my right side, you can see his heel impression in my tummy.

This weekend was crazy. It all started Thurs. night with the concert and getting a doggie. Friday we recieved a phone call that a good friend of ours dad had passed away earlier that morning. Since she is over the ladies ministries and I am one of the "helpers" it was my job to get the prayer chain started and see to the family. Another "helper" Ann was also on the ball. Friday afternoon we packed up Zoe and headed to Eric's parents for his mom's suprise birthday party. Saturday we arrived back from Oxford just in time to get al dolled up and head out to a visitation and funeral of one of Eric's co-workers, and friend. Eric sang "It Is Well With My Soul" at the grave site service. From there we headed to walmart to get stuff for dinner, with my family, and some sexy 2 sizes too big shoes for my massive feet and ankles. All of the fam came over for "breakfast" dinner, Corban's favorite, YUM. Sunday was off to church and to the visitation of my friend's dad. Today I am off work but I have a dr appt. at 3. I am going to get some school work done today... I have a ton of it!!!!!!!

Joy: This morning at 11 is Josh's funeral. I am not going to make it because I would have had to go alone to Decatur and my family didn't like that too much.....

Rachel, Sharon and Vicki: Will have the funeral for her father, Sharon's step father, and Vicki's husband today at 2.

Please keep these families in your prayers.

Guess what we got?!?!?!?

Did you guess??? We got a Zoe.... well if you want me to be specific, she is a doggie. She is a mutt but has some beagle and terrier in her. She is completely house trained as far as the restroom goes... she is still warming up though.... I will post pics later. Eric is singing at a funeral in an hour or so, which means I have to get ready!

Guess where I'm going tonight?????

To the Celine Dion concert. A friend of mine was given 2 free tickets. We are going to party!!!! Well as much as a mom of 2 and an 8 month preggo woman can.........
