blessings fall like rain~

   Well, today marks week 14 of my pregnancy, and I'm still pregnant. Woohoo! There are so many other pregnant women around me it's incredible! I haven't told everyone yet, for two reasons:
  1- I don't want to be excited and have everyone excited if something were to go wrong later. and, 
  2- I fear judgment. I know people love and support us no matter what, but there are a lot of things that could be frowned upon. 
  I think I just hate the thought of disappointing peole.. 

   Anyway, my baby's as big as a navel orange (yumm!), and my bump is more noticeable. I don't have many comfy pants (except maybe sweats and a couple pairs of yoga pants), so I think I'll have to wear dresses, leggings, and keep holding my pants together with a rubber band as long as possible! 

  Since I had spontaneous preterm labor last time, the doctors are taking preventative measures this time. I have to get weekly Progesterone injections starting at week 16, and will go in every other week for monitoring. That means A LOT of appointments; I'm worrying about
how to fit everything into my already-chaotic work schedule. But my manager is pretty understanding, so I hope my
job isn't affected too much. 
[ this is Devony; we call each other work twins, and I will miss her bunches!]

  Oleg's been looking for a new job, just so we can be more financially stable. He wants me to quit Starbucks, but I figure I should work as long as I possibly can. I hope we'll be in a good enough place so I can take a year off after our baby's born, God willing! 

  God has been wonderful to us and I thank Him every day for all of our blessings. We have so much more than we could ask for, and I pray we can shine His light into the lives of others~

today I pray for health and happiness.
