i feel the need to blog about my praise for today-2 weeks ago i went to the doctor for my check up-once again i had gained a pretty large amount of weight and the dr seemed a bit concerned...we discussed that i had not yet had my glucose testing thingy done-so we ended up doin that right away-the nurse said i may have gestational diabetis..this scared me and ever since i have been praying that the test would come back normal that i wouldnt have to go back in for a 3 hour testing.i have also been praying that baby mullet is not to far above the weight he/she should be cause taht was something else my dr had mentioned,that the measurement seemed a bit big so i have to go in for an ultra sound 2 weeks later(that would be this week) this concerned me as well-she jsut mentioned that if the baby is above its saposed to be weight-theyd just have to keep watching me to make sure i dont have a 10 pound baby-wether that meens theyd have to induce me or have a c section i dont no-but neither of those would be on my list of things id wana do-i wanna have this baby natural so bad..last night as matt and i were praying i prayed "in jesus name the tests will come back normal and i will not have gestational diabetis"anyways-this morning they called me and said my glucose testing came back NORMAL!!!thank you GOD!!!!i could have leaped through the roof:) wednesday is my ultra sound and i am praying that the baby wuoldnt be too big for this time of my pregnancy-and i no God is in control of all things-so i have nothing to worry about:)

yesterday matt and i celebrated our one year anniverary-what an awesome day!! i left him a card by his tooth brush:) we went to church and he even got to sit with me(normally he runs sound so i sit alone:() for lunch we had burgers on the grill and then we watched football for a bit then i took a nap-then last night we went to red lobster for supper and wen i got in the car on my seat there was a card from my dear husband:)it was the sweetest card and it about brought tears..after dinner we went shopping and then we went to STARBUCKS!!!!:)my favorite place!and a craving i have had for the past 6 months and hve not been able to take care of it:) we came home and watched the braves(p.s. yes this is soemthing i wanted to do..i do not like to miss watching the games-if tehres a game on-were watching it:))wen we went to bed last night i told matt every day should be like today-not the goin out and doing special things but just the part where it seemed that we both set out that day to make the other person feel special,every moment of the day just seemed like we had our eyes on each other-we havent lost the spark we had wen we got married,but it seems like wen you live together at times you almost forget to really look at each other and drink in each others presence... so that was a challenge to me-to remember to do that all the time-not jsut wen he gets home from work or when were goin to bed-but all the time:)
thinking back over the past year-we have gone thorugh soo much...weve learned so many new things about each other and weve come to love each other on a deeper level.its crazy how much he completes me....i think about this often wen we go away-wether it be his ball games,church,or just shopping,i can feel wen hes near me,that sweet feeling of knowing that my other half is there,that security of knowing hes around..the way i feel with him protected,cared for,loved so deeply i cannot even understand,submitted,the feeling of being under him and knowing he is under God its so powerful and strong. the bond we have is a bond only God can give...and im so thankful for that.i know that God joined us,matt is all the things i am not,and the things i am not very good at are the very things that he exceeds in and is helping me to be...patient:) i lack in patience so very much,but he is the most patient person i know.its easy to excite me,or for me to get upset about things,but he always seems to calm me down-and to show me the reason why i dont need to be upset.he is not a man of words,he isnt the type to throw out compliments unless he really meens them,but the people he loves...you know he loves them,the way he acts towards them,his family,his mom:),my family,but most of all..me:)and this child of ours that im carrying..its so beautiful to see him love this child already...and to think of how he will be with this baby in his arms-im in tears thinking about it.i could go on and on about how wonderful he is and how much i love and appreciate him..but even all those words..would not be enough...i pray that God gives us many more years together on this earth-because as long as were on this earth,we will be loving each other more then we did the day before...a year ago i made the best decision i ever made aside from becoming a follower of Jesus,i chose to spend the rest of my life loving my husband.:) the nest year holds so many changes for us,but im so excited,because ive seen how weve handled changes in the past year,and it has brought us closer then we ever were..and i know thats what the coming years holds for us:)
