Of Chocolate, Pregnancy, Jobs, and a New Car

Chocolate is something I keep craving during this pregnancy. When I am not pregnant chocolate is usually not something I crave. I usually crave chips,subs,or fruity things like Skittles or Starbursts. I wonder if this will last after the pregnancy is over?! Everything has been going well pregnancy wise. When I went to see my Midwife on Monday she said everything is going great and I am right on target.The babies heartbeat is strong,she thinks he's about 6 pounds right now,he moves around alot leaving Mommy with a sore tummy, my blood pressure is low which accounts for my times of almost fainting but the Midwife didn't seem to worried about it.The only thing that is wrong is that the test for the Group B Strep came back positive.I am not really sure what that means but I know that I am not looking forward to having to wear a IV for the whole labor. I talked to my Midwife a few weeks ago about having a water birth. I hope that I can still do that with having the Group B Strep now,I forgot to ask my Midwife if that would be a problem now. Only 23 days til my due date. All of a sudden things seem to be going so fast. Work is exhausting to me.Not the work itself but the getting up at 6 to be to work by 7. I am not sure whether I will stop working on May 1st or the 8th either way my Midwife said she would write me a note any time.

Stephen's job at Ensco ended on April 10th leaving him with no job. The job he was hired for at Ensco was a contract based job for 2-3 months. The sad thing is that they worked so well that they got the job done in 2 months instead of 3 leaving Stephen with no job.They are working on getting another contract and this contract is suppose to last for 1-2 years and would make him a full time employee. We are really hoping for this. I am having a really hard time having faith that God is going to provide a good job for Stephen. It's so hard for us with him not working at all.I don't make much and with my job ending soon and baby coming it makes me worried.When my job ends so does my pay.They give Aides 6 weeks unpaid maternity leave. Stephen is not worried at all and just keeps reminding me that the Lord will provide.I know in the Bible it says that "my God will supply all your needs" and he is,just sometimes not in the way I would hope he would. Please pray that Ensco would either get this contract or not quickly so we would know what to do. Stephen could go back to Lowes but he doesn't want to start back there if Ensco might call him in a few weeks.And I just need peace.

We were able to buy a new car. The extra money that Stephen made while at Ensco went right to that.Good timing because our other car decided to stop running well.We bought a 2002 Buick Century.It is such a nice car.Four door,smooth,great speed, and kind of looks like a old peoples car, but thats ok.I will have to take a picture of it so you can see it. We are both pretty proud of our first big purchase being married and we are still without Debt!!
