Pregnancy Cravings, and Sickness April 30, 2007

Jennisa at A Little Mommy Talk has a question for the week and this week is describe your pregnancy cravings, sickness, etc…  So here I go with mine.

Sweet Pea: I had a very easy pregnancy with her, sure I felt sick but thank goodness I didn’t have any morning sickness.  The things I craved more than anything were chocolate milkshakes-I’m talking everyday.  While I was pregnant with her I was working for Red Lobster and it got to the point I didn’t have to ask the bartender to make me one.  Within 5 min. of me being there they would make one for-mmm delicious.  And I had to have ice cream, and not just any ice cream but Blue Bell’s Candy Bar-which they don’t make anymore grrr.  For the first 4 months I was pretty tired and always felt kind of run-down.  But overall pregnancy totally agreed with me, and I loved every minute of it.

Chunky Monkey:  No morning sickness with this one, however I do feel like I started showing a lot sooner with him.  I felt pretty tired for the first few months but overall I loved it.  As for cravings broccoli (weird but nutritious), and Mexican food.  I couldn’t get enough chips, salsa, and queso.  As for sweets not so much, maybe like once a week or once every two weeks I would be craving some kind of sweet and when I did I went on sweet overload.

Oh and with both of them I had some major heartburn, which I didn’t know what it was until I explained it to the dr.-go ahead and call me a dork it’s cool.  She was born with a head full of hair, while he barely had any.  (You know what they say if you have bad heartburn then that means they have a lot of hair.)

 

Quiet Time April 30, 2007

Filed under: One-on-One with God — Jesse @ 7:03 am

At the end of the Pastor’s sermon he challenged everytime to write down a time where they will have quiet time with God everyday.  For a while now I’ve been feeling convicted about this because I haven’t been faithful when it comes to doing this.  I guess you can say I’ve come up with reasons for why I don’t have time; here are the reasons:

  1. Taking care of the kiddos.
  2. School Work
  3. House Work
  4. Feeling Tired Lazy

Now all these things ok except for number four are legitimate things that have kept me very busy, but I know that it’s no excuse for not having my daily quiet time.  So last night I picked up the devotional I got last year for Mother’s Day and I picked up where I left off, I also wrote in the journal that goes along with it and read a chapter in the Bible.  No matter how “busy” I am I plan on taking time out-whether day or night and having my quiet time.

So my last question is when do you have your quiet time, and do you use devotionals, read the Bible, or use something else when you do this?  I would love to hear everyone’s answers.
