I hear ya Melanie. Jason and I are in the same boat. I feel like so many things need to happen before the baby gets here in March. Although it’s easy for me to put my trust in God, it’s even easier to get discouraged when things don’t work out immediately the way that I want them to. I’ll be praying for strength, patience, and favor for the right opportunities to come your way! Keep us in mind as we seek better employment. Love ya Melanie! ~Joy

Melanie, I hope you do a better job of dealing with this than I apparently did. I just got back from the doctor, who told me I am basically causing physical symptoms because I am too anxious and stressed out. I’m praying for peace for you and that you will find ways to deal with whatever is stressing you out.

I’ve got a turtle if you want one! He comes with his own aquarium. It’s a deal you can’t refuse.

I’m sorry you’re having a hard time…hopefully it will subside soon. Mine magically stopped right at 12 weeks. Funny you say maybe this one’s a boy…I felt great with Sam but was horribly sick with Sophie! The only thing that helped me was constant snacking on crackers, toast, anything bland and dry! I ate all day long but rarely had an actual meal. I’m praying you feel better soon!

I’m so sorry Melanie! That would be really frustrating… For what it’s worth, I don’t think you are naive. I think you have a healthy sense of justice. Have you spoken with your higher ups about the situation? I’ll be praying for you and the people you work for/with. Let me know if you need a break this week or if you want some help around the house or anything… Just work is alot and your body needs some rest right now!
