20 weeks!

So this is my 20 week belly :)  for those of you who dont see me all the time.  I have been feeling really great, I went to the chiropractor a couple weeks ago and she was able to really help my head aches.  I have been feeling more and more movement and the clothes are getting tight!  I  cant say I've had any major cravings, but I do have a new found love for food in general, and I have been cooking up a storm for my family (got to love pinterest)! I go back to the doctor next week,  not sure if he will do an ultrasound or not or if he will be able to see the sex of the baby, but we'll see, as long as I hear a heart beat I'll be a happy camper:)

Pregnacy Update

Well I just had a doctor appt yesterday, so I thought I'd update on that.   Not to much to report, Im 17 weeks, feeling for the most part really great.   I'm gaining weight, babies heart beat sounded great, all my test have come back great so far.  My only complaint up to this point is the amount of headaches I've been getting.  I get a headache at least every day some aren't as bad as others and I seem to be getting migraines once a week or so which last several days sometimes.  I discussed this with the doc and we ruled out most things, and he says it pregnacy related, because of increased blood flow and hormones, but says it should get better as time goes by.  I am going to have my eyes checked, just to rule that out.
Other than that I am at that point in the pregnacy where I dont feel sick and Im not huge yet, so I dont really even feel pregnant sometimes, which is really nice most of the time, but Im really looking forward to feeling the baby moving around, so I can have some assurance that all is well.  So far I've only felt what I believe to be the babies kicking once, but I know that will be coming soon, so Im really excited for that!

Hannah's Birthday Sleep-over!

 Playing a nail polish game!
 Playing on the bunk beds!
  They had intentions of "staying up all night" but I made them go to bed at midnight!  They didn't argue to much, I think they were tired and they slept til 7:30a!
 Pretending they are sleeping so I'll leave and they can giggle more!
 Playing dressup and balloons!

Donuts for breakfast!
 Building a fort!

Playing Just Dance for Kids Wii game!

I didn't get pictures of it but, we also ate pizza, I did pedicures on them, painted toes and nail with two different games, and watched Lady and the Tramp(while eating ice cream) !
I think the girls had a blast and I wasn't too worn out!

February............

Well like Im sure like most of you, we have had our share of sickness here but, I guess tis the season. And to be very honest this winter has been AWESOME as far as weather!

This Saturday is an exciting day in our house, 1) because I have a doctor appt and the girls are coming with to see there new baby bro/or sis on the ultrasound, but we wont be finding out which yet :))! and 2) Hannah is having her very 1st sleep over for her 6th birthday, she has invited two girls to stay the night and I have an exciting night of FUN planned. Alivia will also have a first, she is spending the night at a friends house that night as well for the first time ever. So its a big weekend for my girls! I'll post pic of baby higgins next week.

How am I feeling right now?

Well to be honest I'm feeling a little over whelmed!   But nothing that I know I can't handle with God in the lead.  In some ways I feel like this is my first child again, Im excited all over again.  Its been my hearts desire to have another child for the last year, but Gods timing is best even when I try to plan it all out myself.   But as quickly as finding out we are expecting our next blessing, my hormones kicked in and Im flooded with feelings of needing to get many things done before he/she comes.   One big project is homeschooling!   I have been praying, learning, researching, and preparing for this new adventure that will forever change our lives for along time and it appear we will be having our lives changed in two ways come August.   Very Exciting!  But the best way I can describe how I feel right now is over whelmed in good way I think.  These feeling are forcing me to lean on my Lord and Saviour and trust HIM, that we will be provided for and taken care of through this all.    We have such wonderful family all around near and far, that love and support us and it makes me extremely greatful and blessed.  
While the cares of the world can sometimes over take me and we can almost get into to much of a routine, and forget our focus, right now in my life I feel that I am doing what God wants me to be doing, being a Godly wife and mother and raising my children to walk with the Lord, know that Jesus loves them so much, and trying to be set apart from the world, so that we might be a light in the darkness.  
Feeling sick lately has been a little difficult, I haven't been motivated to do much except just through the day taking care of all my kiddos and trying to not fall to behind in house work.   The girls and Chris haven't been getting to many cooked suppers, being that everything just about makes me nauseous.   Im  praying that the feeling of sick will pass with the 1st trimester and I'll be back to myself and ready to get started on all my winter/spring projects!   I'll keep ya' posted!
