It's been a while

Hello everyone, I hope this Wednesday is treating you as good as it has been treating me. For the first time this week I have not been sick today, well a little nauseous, but no throwing up which is huge for me. I do know that if by the time we go to our next appointment and the fun of being sick has not ended, I am going to ask the doc to do whatever she can to make it stop. I'm not one to take meds, but if meds are what will help then sign me up. I have a job starting soon and cannot imagine throwing up at work and going about the rest of my day...don't see it happening. So, whatever I can get to help, that is what I will do. Since graduation I have not done a thing and it has been such a crazy time. I try really hard to keep up with my wife duties and clean, cook, love, but when you spend half your day in the bathroom it's hard to do all that. The love part i have down, but the cleaning and cooking is where my wonderful husband comes in. I had no idea just how amazing he is when it comes to taking care of a pregnant woman. I guess I knew I would find out one day, but jut not this soon. I am so thankful for him and his cleaning/cooking skills. His memory, that's another thing, but what can I say, no one is perfect. I am also thankful that we serve a God who is sovereign and that never goes back on a promise and is always with us anytime of the day. God has been the one getting me through each day with or without a smile on my face. He ultimately has been my strength through all of this and I never give Him enough praise. God is really up to something in the life of Jeremy, Kari and Baby Hellums and I am humbly waiting to see what that is keeping in mind that it will be amazing :). When we first found out we were pregnant we couldn't wait to go out shopping and looking around at stuff. So far, we have only purchased one thing, but that one thing will turn into a big part of the decorating of baby's room. We found the perfect bedding for a boy or girl and we both love it so we bought a picture frame to start off, not to mention that was the cheapest part of it so we are hoping grandparents can help with the rest. lol. It feels good having that out of the way...but funny because that is the only plan that we have...what the baby will sleep in. Jeremy and I were just talking last night about how we don't have a plan for this or that or where are we gonna live when our lease is up. And the fact and the matter is...WE DON'T HAVE TO PLAN! ya know? Anytime we plan God usually laughs at us so why plan, just wait on Him to tell us and guide us where we should go. Our plan needs to be to wait on the Lord's plan and right now that is a hard thing to do with a baby on the way, but with help from each other and encouragement to one another this planning thing will all fall into place because like Jeremy always says "it's all gonna work out one way or the other" and he is right! Yes honey, you are right! (you can pay me later for that one, just kidding). So I don't really know where this blog was heading or how it will end, but I'm guessing I just had some thoughts to share and sort of fill you in on what is going on with me a bit. The next month or so looks to be open for me so hopefully I will have time and energy to visit some friends and family I miss dearly and maybe get this house in order..who knows. But if you aren't busy and feel like hanging out in the day, let me know!! I'm always down for manicures and pedicures :) Well, I think that's about all I can think of right now. Who knows, I might get creative and start a blog series...but don't count on it. lol. I just blog for fun and to see what others think or have to say about my thoughts. Blogging isn't as big for me as it is for my hubby, check out here for better blogs and more info on the Hellums' life. Have a great Wednesday!
God Bless
