Well, as you can see - I fell out of my own goals for February. In the last week. *sigh* To those of you who know me, this probably comes at no surprise. I am not good with goals. I am sure that says something about me, but I would rather let sleeping dogs lie, for now. I would LOVE to blame the fact that there are no new pictures on the depressing news that I have yet another nasty upper-respitory infection... but that started on Friday, and there were no new pictures for two days before that. Simply, I was feeling quite uninspired. Tired of taking pictures inside of my house, but unwilling to pull everything together and get out of the house to do what I love. What is up with that?!? I really hope to get out there more in March, once the congestion has left my head! Lauren has a stuffy nose and sneezing this morning, so she is joining the ranks of the miserable. Poor thing! So, I suppose I will have to wait for her to be ready to go as well.
That's the other thing! Why am I constantly fighting colds when I am pregnant?!? Seriously. I can vividly remember all the times I was coughing, sneezing, and whining with my other two pregnancies. I had a pretty bad cold the day Paige was born. A stuffy nose and pitocin do not mix well... hello, epidural! LOL! I should not complain since my pregnancies are overall very easy - but it is exhausting to be feeling this way, dealing with all the body changes, and parenting two kids at the same time. I was having some serious pity-parties about it over the last three days, but I am determined to be thankful for all the other good things now. My emotions don't define if something is real - I need to be determined to focus on the right things!
All of that comes out of Justin and I finally watching the movie "Fireproof" last night. I know, we are way behind - it came out AGES ago. But, if we don't see something in the theatre - we usually don't get around to it for a long time! It is an awesome Christian movie, and while of genuine low-budget quality, truly spoke to my heart. I cried. A lot. I cry at everything, I know... but this was fight-back-the-sobs crying. Mostly because I know this movie speaks to so many things people I love are going through every day! If you want some inspiration to fight for your marriage and get your focus in the right place, I would go out and rent it today!
More soon! TTFN!

She is your mirror, shining back at you with a world of possibilities. She is your witness, who sees you at your worst and best, and loves you anyway. She is your partner in crime, your midnight companion, someone who knows when you are smiling, even in the dark. She is your teacher, your defense attorney, your personal press agent, even your shrink. Some days, she's the reason you wish you were an only child. ~Barbara Alpert

I'm sorry to hear about the sickness! I hope Lauren gets over it quick!
Fireproof is one of the top ten movies I've seen. Wow. It teaches us that you never leave your partner... especially in a fire.
I hope you feel better soon! Praying for you to feel great the remainder of your pregnancy. [Aside from the last weeks where no amount of prayer will help with the uncomfortableness! :)]
We'll have to watch Fireproof now. It should make for a fun Sunday night talk!
Love you!
Hope your feeling better soon! I miss seeing your pics :)
Josh and I really enjoyed Fireproof. Don't feel bad, we got it months ago and just watched it a couple of weeks ago! Great Movie!!
XOXO
Man can I relate to that - not reaching goal thing... mine is in the form of not exercising faithfully... or at all - ugh! Anyway, I am so sad that you feel so crappy! You are sensitive to the estrogen of pregnancy I think - all that stuffy nose and congestion! Plus the spring brings all those lovely new allergens and pollens into the Arizona air. I say salt water nasal spray twice a day is awesome - whenever I feel a little sinus drainage or tickle in my throat I just start using that - seems like it has helped me stave off illnesses. Also, higher Vitamin D levels help ward off infections - I think it was that video you had me watch that talked about taking Vitamin D 100,000 units for 3 days in a row at the first sign of a respirtory infection to make it go away... just an interesting thought... not sure how it works though... This has been a rough winter for you though! Get better before we come!!!
Your pix are missed but all is forgiven :) Feel better soon.
Hope you feel better soon-I hated being congested when I was pregnant but at least didn't have two little ones to take care of. I agree with Tam though on the salt water nasal spray. I use a netty pot or sinus wash kit they have them at Walgreens for like $11. Its kind of weird at first but definitely clears up the congestion.
