I've been very anxious lately about several things. The new baby coming, Ron's busy wrestling schedule, if we'll be attacked again by head lice and I've also been spotting lightly. I'm having a hard time dealing with it all and I think going from working full-time to not at all has also been a big change for me to handle. So, I'm going to list here things I am thankful for and try to focus on those rather than my fears, concerns and worries.
Here goes:
My husband who is so patient, understanding and hard working for me. He always listens to my concerns and tries his best to help me deal with them.
My beautiful, healthy daughter. Anna you make me so proud. Reading already in kindergarten, a perfect teacher-parent conference and report card. And how caring you truly are. Noone else would cry that we flushed baby lice eggs down the toilet and didn't give them a chance to live.
My family and Ron's family. They patiently answer the phone when I call obsessively worrying about things or if I need a hand watching Anna.
The signs my mom gives me that although she's in heaven, she's very much aware of my struggles down here and isn't leaving me all alone. In my times of great fear and anxiety she is amazing at sending me a sign I'm not alone. I love you Mom and know its not by coincidence that these things happen.
For God, who is always willing to give me another chance to rely on Him more. For all of his mercies he gives me every day. For all the blessings he has bestowed upon me. I need to focus on these more. Lord, please help me to do so.

I feel like I'm reliving my 2nd pregnancy through you. There's always so much more to stress about the second time - so it seems.
Sadie was due Jan 11 (she came 1/15) but I was so worried about Brad's flying schedule and with no family in town, I was worried about who would take Noelle. Fortunately I didn't have any spotting, but enough other pain that I thought she could come any second. I didn't know the gender either, but I felt pretty strongly it was a girl. Everything worked out perfectly for me and I pray it will be the same for you.
Merry Christmas
