BABY STUFF!! **squeel!!**
Ah yes... any man that was walking by me in Kohl's today was rolling his eyes as I squeeled with delight at all of the pink baby girl clothes, blankies, shoes, bibs, and toys. I was shopping for Betsy's baby shower (tuesday) and oh wow.. it was so much fun! I had a ton of stuff carrying it around because I just could not pick! My mom had to help me! lol I won't disclose what exactly I got her because someone could sneak her the info before her big day.. and I'm not one to ruin a surprise! I'm off to Wally World tomorrow to pick up the rest of the stuff I'm getting her... and I cannot wait to see what everyone else got for her! I must give God some praise right now. I'll fully admit that last week, before I knew that I wasn't pregnant, I told Suzanne, "I'm not sure how I'll shop for baby clothes and make it to this baby shower if I'm not pg.. I think it will break me." But then I quickly said, "No.. I REFUSE to be 'that' woman!" (as LeeAnn said, "I WILL NOT BE SHAKEN!") After beginning REALLY reading my Bible and just trying really hard to have a better outlook on life, I had the best time today and I cannot wait until the baby shower! It's going to be so great! I feel full of joy today. Life is good, God is good. The fact that it's only 95 degrees today, instead of the 111 it was last week is good. I got to talk to Suzanne on the phone for like an hour today and that was good. She mentioned LeeAnn is coming over tomorrow around 4pm and I should bring my baby gifts then too... I was so excited, and that's good. I should really get Clayton to tear apart the console in the van to find Madison's lost Bible School Song cd b/c I could sing over and over again the song that once grated on my every last nerve: "I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart. Where? Down in my heart. Where?..." Yeah, you know it probably! Ah, it feels good to be HAPPY! I was so down all last week and lemme tell ya, that just plain stinks. So, my promise is to be a heck of a lot more fun to hang out with now! :) No moaning and complaining, and the only crying I plan on doing is crying from the great emotions I can't keep in!

Yes! It makes me happy that you are happy. God is good! I hope you come tomorrow. It'll be fun!
i'm SO happy for you. true contentment is so elusive. what God has done in you in a few short days with your malleable heart is incredible. thank you for loving Him so much, it's so inspiring to my faith.
I am glad you found a spot of happiness. You are added to my small list of prayers. hope you all have fun at the shower...i can't make it because i will be working. Eat some yummy cake for me!
I can tell that you have had fun at baby shopping. I am glad God has done great things with you. You have grown so much since the time I have met you.
Okay Mandy,
I am a tad frustrated today because I am trying to encourage the idea of a third child to my husband and he is sooo not into the idea! How frustrating is it to want more and your spouse doesn't. You all are on the baby train, and I think my train is permanently parked.
Angelina, you should've been around to hear the FIGHTS that took place for a few months when I was ready to start trying and clayton wasn't. I was so frustrated and angry with him, even though logically he was right in waiting. To be honest, I think he'd be thrilled if I called the whole thing off and said, "let's wait a few years." Then again, he has said, "if we are having a third I'd rather do it sooner or later." So romantic hu? lol I really do understand what you're going through! You can lean on me anytime!
He thinks "we've been there, done that. Why do we need more." On a scale of 0-10 (10 being "I will never have any more kids") he declares himself an 8. I know part of him is right, but I can't shake the baby thing right now. Ethan is already 5...we can't debate much longer. I think i am posting on this tonight! Thanks for sharing, and for the bonus encouragement.
