My favorite part about being pregnant is definitely feeling the baby moving. I don't think I'll ever tire of it. Everything has happened so early this time that I've been enjoying the little kicks for weeks. More recently I can feel him/her turning over and other random movements. I love it! The baby is getting stronger for sure!
The last time we had a couple speak at our church I miscarried our ninth baby. Thankfully this weekend, I was much further along than last September, and I was able to enjoy the encouraging talks and my wiggly baby of 23 weeks.
Rick and Marilyn Boyer have fourteen children and have homeschooled for thirty years! Now that is experience! We were so blessed by their talks and resources. Their blog is http://thelearningparent.blogspot.com/ and they also have a website by the same name. They've spoken often at the HEAV convention and have close friendships with many of the homeschooling pioneers in our state, including the late and dear Christopher Klicka.
Thankfully when discouragment feels overwhelming, God has already launched a great dose of encouragment that will arrive just in the nick of time. : ) That was the Boyers for me this weekend!
Even potty training has been on the upswing lately. We have had a success almost daily for several days! Phew! I knew the boy would get to wear underwear before graduating, but I wasn't so sure that it would be soon. There is hope afterall!
After living in our house for seven years, I decided to make a few window treatments. Kendal had already made the ones in the kitchen and dining room and they were beautiful. I made three for our bedroom with a matching pillow on Friday. It cost less than $30 for all the materials and we have three windows. Today I made three more treatments for the living room/dining room area for about $15. Now that I am on a roll, I hope on Wednesday to made two for the room over the garage.
I've had a strange, ragged piece of material hanging in our bathroom window for months. Once Kendal tired of it and sewed it up. It still needs help. So I bought a remnant that matches that room and draped it over the half made other thing...it's a tiny window, you'd think I could pull it off. The problem is that I love light and won't block it out for privacy or any other reason. And their are no blinds in there. Eventually I will be inspired and finish all the projects. For today, I'm enjoy the new view in three rooms. : ) and my wiggly baby!
