Hanging in There

Somedays this is exactly how I feel....

Be Strong! I can do this! I have already made it this far.

I am giving myself a pep talk today.

I found this wonderful quote I thought I would share.

by : Dieter F. Uchtdorf
"We don't always know the details of our future. We do not know what lies ahead. We live in a time of uncertainty. We are surrounded by challenges on all sides. Occasionally discouragement may sneak into our day; frustration may invite itself into our thinking; doubt might enter about the value of our work. In these dark moments Satan whispers in our ears that we will never be able to succeed, that the price isn't worth the effort, and that our small part will never make a difference. He, the father of all lies, will try to prevent us from seeing the end from the beginning."
"See the End from the Beginning," Ensign, May 2006, 43

Only 4 1/2 more days until the election. Cross our fingers and pray that Matt makes it. We have prayed and we feel like this is something that is going to benefit our family and bless us. We are trying to have faith that if this is what Heavenly Father feels is best for our family it will happen.

24 more days until we are scheduled for my C-section and we recieve our new addition to our famliy. My body is feeling very worn out. I honestly feel as though Mr. Manning is not going to wait until the 22nd. But we'll see what happens. Who ever came up with the idea that women need to experience Braxton hicks is crazy. Must of been a man. I have entered the stage of "the waddle" and I feel as though I have the weight of a watermelon on my important parts. I can do this. He at least needs to wait until after the election. I have been strong this long and my goal with this pregnancy was to not be a whiner. I know I have had my moments but I think I am doing pretty ok.
