Happy Birthday Bug, The New Baby....A Big Move.

Fred woke up early this morning (4:30am) to study some of the cities we are interested in visiting before we make our move in the next year of so. He is all about picking a place with great opportunities for a good education and employment and a low crime rate. I thought that he would be dead set on Texas, but he has been studying North Carolina a lot. To be honest, Charlotte looks really good as far as demographics ( great mix of people), national awards for their public school system. I can't wait until we go visit. The weather is great according to the weather report for the year. It doesn't get too hot or too cold there. I told him that we are going to take our time and make a wise educated move for our family. I want to choose a place where we can really make a home for our family.

Today is such a great day. Bug is now 3 years old and I met my new baby today through an ultrasound at my Ob's office. I didn't even think that I would get an ultrasound today, but she could not hear the heartbeat when she used her machine so she sent us to the tech to have an ultrasound. He or she is so cute.  We have a busy day today. We are going to pick Bug up early from school and take him to chuck-e-cheeses and let him play around and eat pizza. After that it is off to the store to buy a nice birthday gift. Well, I want to let you all see my new bundle of joy. Check out the ultrasound picture. Isn't he or she sooooo cute.

This weekend, I dug up my old workout DVDs trying to motivate myself to get back at or should I say stay at it. But you all know me. When things are 100% all together...nothing is. After the terrible week I had last week, it is a miracle that I am even leaving my house. I ate well this weekend...okay, I had caramel cake, but other than that I did a really good job considering my eating pattern over the last 10 weeks of my pregnancy. I tell you, I know that I have gained about 15 pounds since I found out. I just subconsciously gave myself an eat-whatever-the-hell-you-want-to pass since this pregnancy was confirmed. Now, as for the gym, this has really been due to my morning sickness. I have been so fatigued and full of nausea in the mornings that I have not had any energy. I believe this is about to change though as I enter my second trimester I have heard stories of women who had managed to keep the nausea the whole pregnancy. I hope that I am not that woman.. Two of my most stressful stressers are now no longer a part of my life or business so I believe that my energy and focus level will change.

Fred and I discussed our plans after he finishes his schooling. He is so excited about finishing school. He has even been looking for different positions for those with bachelor's degrees. I personally would like to move. I mentioned this to him and he said he would be okay with that. We will see.

Anyway, I have decided to do another intense study on forgiveness and discipline. I am going to start by looking up every scripture in the bible that mentions forgiveness for the next couple of months. Once I feel I am ready to move to discipline then I will do that. Right now, I want to address some of the lifelong issues I have had in these two areas. I must remember that I have to stay in the word about these two subjects and others as well because I don't want to go backwards. I have made so much progress and God has done so much to help me get free in these areas, so I have to protect what He has given me by making sure that I seek Him in these areas.

I'll let you know how it goes...P.S. Bug is doing much better. That was the mildest case of chickenpox I have ever seen.

Until next time world.

The End

Lost a therapist to the schools today. Got chewed out by a parent that I have never met, ate too much today AND Bug has the chicken pox. The End.

Back on Track

Man, I exercised this week. Yes, I did. I didn't give what I have given previously this year, but I overcame the morning sickness and headed out in the mornings. It was difficult, but at the end of my now long days, it was worth it. I lifted weights which I believe is the most beneficial and boy are my muscles sore. I started back into my fitness kick.

Work wise, back on track, as of November 1st, I will be fully staffed at the office. I have a great enthusiastic team of therapist and office workers.

Fred is also getting back on track, he just received his readmission acceptance to the University of Mississippi. He is going for his B.B.A. I believe that he will finish this time. He seems extremely motivated and most of all more self-confident which I believe has been a road block the first couple of attempts. He doesn't have to worry. He has a bunch of supporters in his corner. Good Luck baby as you start your finish to your bachelor's degree in Spring 2011.

Today is the first ever 5k for the SIM. I will be there to volunteer. I don't know yet, what I will be doing, but I am there to help. I will not be running. First of all, the run is not really for the SIM it is for others who have signed up to participate. Secondly, I am not in running shape right now.

I never really got off track with my reading. I take that back, I have not been reading my Bible like I should have. I have been reading pregnancy books and health books. So time to get back on track for Biblical readings.

Man-O-Man, my second business venture has been on my mind heavy lately. I am itching to write the business plan soon. Should I start another project? Do I need ADD medication? I don't know. One thing at a time, Mrs. Mia. One thing at a time. But anyway, I am back on track.

For some reason, everything has to be perfect for me to stay on track. My next challenge to self: Stay on track when everything is out of wack. World, do you think I can do that???

My Bug is growing

Today, I have just been looking, staring and staring some more at my soon to be three year old son. I am so proud of him. He has been such a joy for me and for Fred. He is funny and smart and handsome and very, very respectful. He is even tempered like his dad and I can just see a great future in his eyes. I know there will be mistakes and disappointments, but I can see that he will be a great man of God, an honor to his future family and a great benefit to society as a whole. I thank God for my son.

We aren't going to have a big birthday party for him this year. We have just decided to have a party for him with just me and his dad. We want this one to be intimate because this is the last birthday that we will have for him as a family of three. As God has blessed us with a new addition due May 2011, we want to give him a lot of attention before the attention becomes divided. I love you, Bug. Thanks for being mommy's best boy.
