Miracles of God

I have to start out by saying that God is just so amazing and I am so grateful to be called His daughter and to know that He takes care of us, even in the funniest ways.  I've been a bit stressed lately about some financial concerns and have been praying daily for God to show us how to tackle everything and be alright about it. I was even praying (semi-jokingly) for God to give us a miracle while we are in Las Vegas in November (more on that later) and let us when even just a couple hundred dollars, because that would help tremendously. But then I get the news yesterday that I got a bonus at work! We finished up a long and tedious project my team has been working on for a couple of years, even before I started, and we got our bonuses from that client! When I logged in to look at my check stub I almost cried. I got a ginormous bonus! Even after taxes cut out 40% (which sucks by the way) it was still a huge chunk of money that helps us tremendously toward our goals and helps us get on track. I have been in such awe and so grateful for the miracles God gives. I asked for a small couple hundred dollars while in Vegas, and God decides to one up that and go for a couple thousand right now instead. God is so so good..... :)

Now about Vegas. My company is wonderful and I love it so much. I mentioned this awhile back, but now its actually happening. As a treat for doing so well last year and bringing in so much revenue for our company, my boss is treating our entire team and our spouses to a weekend in Las Vegas! So in November we will be heading for a nice weekend "babymoon" to Vegas :) of course with my co-workers but that's alright. But my wonderful mommy and sister will be making the 5 hour drive over so we will be able to see them too!


On another happy note, a couple weeks ago Joseph finally got to feel Trenton kick! It was so exciting. Sometime I feel like I was more excited than he was but that's okay :) Trenton had been very active at that time and I've been waiting for the weekends to have Joe feel him. But of course as soon as I call him over Trenton stops moving. So I started pushing him around to get him moving and I think I made him mad because then he just wouldn't stop moving and kicking! And hard too. Which now of course I definitely do not mind. And he has been moving practically non-stop since.

A funny story happened a few weeks back too. Joseph wanted to learn about swaddling. So what does he recommend? We get a blanket and put Brittany on the floor to act as "baby". I just wish we got some pictures of us swaddling an her like a baby!

We also had an appointment on Friday for my 6 month check up. Nothing too exciting but the doctor said Trenton is an active little guy. He kept kicking her as she was trying to to listen to his heartbeat :)

And here is my 6 month photo!
