SOOOOO Tired!!

I am now somewhere between 8 & 10 weeks pregnant and HOLY COW is this baby WIPING ME OUT! I know that it is common to be super tired in your first trimester...it is just strange for me as I didn't experience being THIS worn out with me first two pregnancies.

I am thinking it is a combination of things.....one of those things being the fact that I have a 2 year old and ALMOST 1 year old. The other being the fact that I have never been newly pregnant at this time of year and I think the heat is really adding to my sleepiness!

All of that to say.........I HAVE A WONDERFUL HUSBAND! And I want to take a second to brag about him a little bit : )

This week Chip has been AMAZING (not that he isn't ALWAYS amazing...he really is, but this week he has just had extra hard circumstances to work with and he's STILL being amazing). He has been letting me sleep in every morning....he gets up with the kids and makes them breakfast and plays with them. He lets me take naps..sometimes multiple a day! He doesn't complain AT ALL when he gets home from work and the house is a disaster....instead, he comes in and immediately starts cleaning up and asking about how my day went. He is being so understanding and such a servant and I am SO thankful that God gave me Chip as my partner in this journey of life!

Watching my husband serve me so willingly during this time has been such an encouragement and inspires ME to be more of a servant. I know that he isn't doing it for me...he is doing it for the Lord, and that makes it even sweeter.

I am praying that God gives me energy soon. Hopefully I will remember to be more thankful for the energy He gives me daily and stop taking it for granted....because it really isn't easy being a wife and mom when you just want to sleep all the time!

I am ESPECIALLY praying for some extra grace and energy for the next two days......and if you happen to read this maybe you can pray for me as well : ) Chip is participating in a golf tournament for our church tomorrow morning and he has to be there at 6am which means he'll be leaving around 5:30 or 5:45am. Then, right after the golf tournament he works from 3-11pm. SOOO....that means I am home with the kiddos all day. Normally this wouldn't be a big deal at all, but just pray that I have extra patience and extra energy to deal with my little ones : ) Sunday won't be much easier because Chip has to be at work at 6:30am. He will get home around 3pm and we have to be finished with dinner by 5:30 to leave for church at 6pm. So it will be another full day. I also have work to get done before Monday.......

SOOO......I know I will make it through it......maybe the kids will get to have a brain frying TV marathon this weekend....haha. I'll try not to use Woody and Buzz Lightyear as my babysitters TOO MUCH...but we'll do what we need to do!!

Thank you Lord...for my husband and his servant's heart.
Thank you Lord...for my sweet babies that you've allowed me to raise.
Thank you Lord...for the new little one you are growing inside me.
Thank you Lord...for the other COUNTLESS blessings you've poured upon me!
