Update

So I know its been a while since I last posted I am so bad at this! The reason I haven't posted is because I don't have many pictures to put on here and I like a blog with pictures but figured I needed to update you all on our life. So I am now 5 months along in my pregnancy and we have an ultrasound on the 17th but we still aren't sure we are going to find out the sex. We had so much fun with Tristan not finding out we might do it again. Matthew is now in his 4th month of working over in ND in the oil field and he is really enjoying learning all the positions they are letting him. He got to work the derrick man position on this shift that he is on right now and he really enjoyed it. My thoughts are that I am so terribly afraid of heights I can't even imagine but Matthew gets such a thrill out dangerous stuff that he enjoys it. I will tell you one thing though. It is definitely now easy being a part time single parent of 2 very energetic boys especially when I am pregnant I get so wore out. I really have a respect toward all these single parents out there I only do it part time so I know it must be extremely hard to do it all on their own. I knew it would be a struggle in the beginning when Matthew took this job but I know this job has definitely been a blessing towards our family as well. We have been able to save up so much money in the few months he has worked there and will begin the process on our new home hopefully this spring. Like I said I am half way thru my pregnancy and I wish I was already done! This pregnancy is so much different than it was with the boys. I have definitely had a lot more back problems this time around and have been way more tired. I am just so anxious for May to be here so we can hold our little one in our arms and welcome him or her into our family. I have definitely had more stress this time around too. When we first found out we were expecting my step dad got into a terrible ATV wreck which send him into acoma and then he passed 3 weeks later and then Matthew switched jobs and I was sick with bronchitis for a month! I thank the Lord every day for giving me the strength to go thru each day and for all the blessings we have been recieving. We had a wonderful Christmas this year. I think it was the best CHristmas we have had in the 6 1/2 years that Matthew and I have been married. We were able to get the boys and each other the things we wanted this year instead of wishing we could buy it and getting something cheaper. Oh the choices we have now is so great and we have the Lord to thank for that for Matthew's amazing job and his willingness to leave his family for 2 weeks to provide for us. I just think Matthew likes knowing he only works 6 months out of the year! :) I spent New Years Eve with my boys and went and had dinner with the in-laws. It was fun but I definitely missed having my hubby around for it. I can't wait for him to be home in 5 days. Well that is all I can think of right now to get you up to date on everything I do still have Christmas cards I am sending out so I apologize for the delay but better late than never right? Hope you all are enjoying the new year and hopefully my next post will have pictures.
