Grace for This Day

Ever have a day when it feels like you can't take it if there is anything else to do? Too many things going on at once, and if one more thing comes along it's going to overthrow the entire pile?

Welcome to my life lately! We have a lot going on, with Joe's job, my transition from being part-time one day a week to starting my night-time training/teaching job that will be one-two nights a week, a growing boy who gets into everything, a part-time consultant gig for a gas and energy company, and being the property managers/paperwork fiends for our real estate investment LLC that is adding a new property/tenant right now. Oh, yeah and we are also refinancing our home! Craziness! And Joe's car has been unusable for a week! No wheels! Bummer! :P

So what's the one more thing? Well, yesterday we found out that baby #2 is going to be a girl! :) Yay! However, we also found out that I will be transferred to the high-risk OB group because of placenta previa and some other concerns, which means lots more appointments than a normal pregnancy. Not cool! I was hoping to see the midwives (my first, and last, appointment with them was yesterday) and to have a VBAC awesome natural delivery. Instead, I now will likely have a planned C-section. :(

I guess the first human response is always "Why me?" But then really it should be about "OK, Lord, now what are You going to do with this/in this situation?" I'm sure He has good things in store, even if we can't see it right now.

So we will take it day by day, seeking the Lord and relishing the grace to make it through each day. And if you read this blog and are a believer, please pray for us and for our little girl that all would go well in pregnancy and beyond!
