A very wise woman told me the other day that I should keep a journal during this time of my life. I realized that journals are only fun if other people can read them...so starts my blogging! I am almost 32 weeks pregnant and 2 weeks ago I broke my ankle. The right ankle to be exact so no driving and absolutely no pressure or walking on it! I have always considered my self a fairly independent person so this creates a little problem. I am completely dependent on other people for everything from meals to transportation. The past two weeks have been full of emotion, some days are harder than others. I am sure that a lot of the emotion has to do with the fact that I have a small person growing inside me and my body is full of hormones! The days are made easier with the help of my wonderful husband, family and friends! I couldn't survive without them! My mom comes over everyday that Matt is at work to make me lunch and clean my floor. My sister has set up a wonderful schedule for people to bring us meals twice a week and my husband listens in the middle of the night when I am in pain and all I can do is complain and cry. I have wonderful help and I know they help because they love me, but WOW it is really hard to take the help sometimes. I am not used to having people do everything for me. I know God is teaching me something, but some days I wish he could have just sent a note saying " Jeannette, you need to learn how to let people love and help you. That's it. No big drama, just read about it or something." That would have been really nice! But I know that it doesn't work that way. In the mean time I will be posting often as there is not a lot going on right now.

Welcome to blogdom Jeannette!
Loved reading about your journey and look forward to many more posts!
I hurt for you as you hurt... sure not fun having to depend on others.
Praying for you as you let go and let God do His work in and through you.
You are going to be the best Mommy!
You poor thing! But hey, I hate to tell you but, this being waited on is preparation for an upcoming time when you will be PRAYING that someone wait on you hand and foot because you'll be so tired and sleep deprived that being spoon fed will sound wonderful! :) Sorry, don't mean to scare you. Read Babywise and follow it religiously early on... it will change your life, seriously. By the way, you are just the cutest pregnant gal! I'm glad you started blogging so I can keep up with you. It's been a long stretch since I was doing your hair while you were in high school!
