Very Blessed!

Once again Heavenly Father knows what we need, when we need it! ...We have a lot of expenses right now, more than usual, well i guess we don't have a lot but they are just more costly than usual, anyway, our car needs fixing and Lincoln needs to go to the doctor for check ups and immunizations (we lost our insurance.) Not to mention both our phones just recently broke. Steven, Lincoln and I have all been sick the last few days with congestion, cough, cold, and loss of appetite and Lincoln has also been teething.  BUT we have had SO much help also! Brock and Kelsie brought us a ton of groceries and medicine, Natalie and Justin brought us diapers and more groceries, Haley and Brandon brought us some medicine, Jason And Nicole gave us some Dayquil, and someone left a $100 dollar bill under our door this morning! It's amazing to me how giving everyone has been and it's helped SO much! If you are reading this and you gave us the money or help us out another way THANK YOU SO MUCH! You will be blessed for your service to us! Luckily Steven is better today and back to work and I think Lincoln is feeling better and is definetly sleeping better and so am I! I hope I can be inspired to help others when they need it and "pay it forward!"

Omniscience

So do you ever feel like you are trying so hard to do what is right and things still are hard and go wrong? Yeah, I think all of us do, but I guess we just have to remember that Heavenly Father is "all knowing" which is what my blog title "Omniscience" means, You would think I would have more faith because just last week, actually exactly a week ago Steven and I were struggling because he wasnt selling well so we prayed so so hard last friday night to know if we should stay out here in Texas, I sent a text out to most of our family to ask them to pray for him, and on Saturday he sold 4 accounts! So we got our answer! You would think I wouldnt doubt or question anymore but i still am. I do have faith though, I try to rely on my scriptures and have an amazing family, anyone in my family is always there to talk whenever and they always make me feel better, which is such a blessing and very rare! My parents are the most amazing ever and support me and my little family endlessly and my husband is a worthy priesthood holder and such a hard worker, and I have the cutest baby in the whole wide world! So I guess I just need to quit worrying and pitying myself and remember that Christ was perfect and he went through all the pains, sicknesses, sufferings, anxieties, etc for everyone and the Prophet Joseph Smith suffered more than anyone save Jesus Christ and he was a prophet! Anyway these are my thoughts today.....

Sleeping Baby!

So Lincoln has been sleeping A LOT better it's really nice! I put him to bed at 7:30 ish and last night he really didn't even cry much and he slept til four, the night before he almost slept til six! We also went swimming yesterday with some of the wives, it was so fun cause Lincoln got in and he seemed to really like it! He didn't last very long though because it was his naptime. I will post pics soon! So like I said Steven is gone for the week in Wichita Falls so I have been hanging out with the other wives a lot, we watched 'The Bachelorette' Monday and "American Idol' last night and Lee won! YAY! The boys might be out of town for two weeks after all If they are selling well in that area and managing it well, that would be hard, but if they are doing well then I guess It's worth it!

My Sweet Boys! ♥

So Lincoln was sleeping from about 8:30-9 pm until about three in the morning and I had a routine where i would swaddle him and stick the Binky in his mouth, the last 2 nights I have fed him his solids, (which is so fun) given him a bath, prayed for Daddy, then put him in his bed without a Binky or being swaddled. It's been pretty hard cause last night he cried for almost 1 1/2 hours, It broke my heart, but i know he needs to learn to sleep on his own! He is so sweet and growing up SO fast, he now reaches for hands, food, toys, his feeding spoon, well anything he can stick in his mouth really, and since I have not given him his Binky as much he started sucking on his thumb! It's so cute! He is going to roll over soon I can tell and I can't leave him next to blankets or clothes now or he'll pull them over his face now, which is kind of scary! So he sleeps in his "potato sack" like a little dress thingy that's thick so he can't suffocate. Steven is gone in a different area of Texas this week, to Wichita Falls to sell so It's going to be a little rough but I'll manage, he is working SO hard, I am SO proud of him! And he is staying so positive even though it's tough. We ( me and Steven) have become a lot closer even in the last month we have been here, they say that the best thing you can do for your marriage is to move away from all family. It's helped us a lot cause we really have to rely on eachother! I also have read my scriptures more diligenty out here so that's great! Anyway I'm so blessed to have my sweet husband and sweet sweet baby boy and of course the gospel!

Oh! and ps- Lincoln just went down for bed and hasn't even cried! Hope it lasts!!!

Here are some cute pics Aunt Rachel took and did awesome with!!!

A new life

So I obviously have not posted anything FOREVER! but it feels like I have a new life now because so much has changed! First of all Lincoln Steven Miles was born on our 1 year anniversary on January 16, 2010! That's the best thing that has ever happened to me, including meeting Steven of course, I LOVE being a mom! It's definately a struggle sometimes though, just because you worry about your baby SO much but other than that it's absolutely wonderful. Another change that has happened is we are now living in Grand Prairie Texas, Steven is doing summer sales for a company called APX, they sell home security systems and he is doing great! I try to make his time at home very fun and relaxing and have food ready for him because he works SO hard, his schedule is 1-9 M-F and 9-9 on saturdays and off for sundays of course, he works SO hard for us! But anyways Lincoln is starting to discover his feet, giggle and play, and he talks to himself in his crib in the mornings it's so cute i can't even handle it! I love him so much we are so blessed to have him!

Getting Anxious!!!

So i went into the doctor on monday and they said the baby has dropped down into the birth canal and my cervix is thinning, so dilation should come soon! but that could mean the baby could come anytime, anywhere from a few days to a few weeks! i wish i just knew sometimes when he is coming!!! haha but i guess that would take the fun out of it. Christmas was good, although i missed my family, we spent it with his family, which is probably good cause i really do NOT feel like traveling now haha. Rachel is having a shower for me nest Saturday so hopefully he doesnt come before then! Steven has been sick the last few days with the flu :( i feel so bad he has been barfing and achey and all, but he has felt a little better today, i gave hima sleeping pill a few hours ago cause he hasnt been able to sleep really at all. but i am glad he is getting over this sickness BEFORE the baby is here!!!
