Rite Aid Deals 2.10 to 2.16

For those of you who know me well, you know that I LOVE LOVE LOVE couponing. I have taken a break from posting store deals but am going to start up again. My deals are based on my local deals in Fairport, NY. Rather than trying to post deals from several different stores, I have simplified my life and try to stick to just shopping at Rite Aid and Kmart for my coupon deals. I just don't have time to go to several different stores each week. Please feel free to contact me with any questions! Happy Shopping!

Surprise...another baby! Giving God Control.

So....the day after Christmas we found out we were expecting little miracle number 4. That's right, I am now 10 weeks pregnant. (this is the longest we've ever kept it a secret) I would love to say that I was elated and beyond excited to have another baby...I mean...I love babies, right? And we really didn't think that our family was complete yet anyways, but still...I was shocked...overwhelmed...and feelings of dread came over me about telling anyone. Do I really want to be a stay-at-home-mom of four under the age of 5! I didn't want to hear other peoples opinions about our growing family...or know that they were talking about it behind our backs. Most people just can't fathom the idea of having 4 children. Even though I wasn't all that happy about it myself, I was more concerned that others would talk negatively about our beautiful unborn child. I actually convinced myself that I wasn't really pregnant and my body was playing tricks on me...until my first doctors appointment where I saw our tiny peanut of a miracle on the ultrasound...with a strong heartbeat!

These were the best shots we could get of the kids. Believe it or not, that  "in motion" picture of Janessa  was our best option even though the flash went off!

Of course...hubby was just excited as usual! (Probably a good thing). The kids are excited too.

Our first two girls (Keira and Libby) are 19 months apart. It was hard. Janessa and this new little love will be 17 months apart. I know that in a few years it will be wonderful to have such close playmates, but still...I felt really guilty that I was feeling anything but joy for this child.

By the way...Tom thinks that if its a girl, her middle name should be Joy...ironic! I can't even fathom it being a boy...we don't make those....and I wouldn't' know what to do! haha

I'm nervous....what if this one has a cleft palate too? What if this baby has kidney reflux like Libby? What if there is something else wrong...worse? Aren't you supposed to worry about these things with your first child...not your fourth?

But...this baby is perfectly the way God made them....God says so.

"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb." -Psalm 139:13

...and my other children are perfectly the way God made them too...issues and all!

 I am excited. I will be more excited after we get though Janessa's surgery next week. This child is a joy. It is a miracle. I am honored that the Lord would bless us with a fourth child.

I expect that people will ask: "If it's a boy, will you be done?". The answer is still...it is up to God. We truly feel that God has called our family to allow God to control this area of our lives completely.

I know that people will look at us like crazy people for wanting 4 children...or even more perhaps..but I cannot let that take my joy from me.  I cannot worry about the opinions of others. I can only be obedient to what God has called  me to.  I urge you if you struggle with giving God control of a certain area of your own life to just do it. He makes all things great.

He will never forsake us or leave us. His will is perfect.

Just for fun...did you know that at 10 weeks pregnant my baby is already moving and kicking. It's heart has been beating for 5 weeks now. This miracle has all of its organs and some are already functioning! At this stage in my last pregnancy, Janessa would have already had her cleft palate! During the 5th week the heart forms into 4 chambers, and actually starts beating and pumping blood...this is before most abortions take place.

The more I think about how the creation of life is such a miracle, the more excited I get that God chose me to have another one!

I love to read your comments so please comment below!

Prayer for Janessa

In the grand scheme of things, I tend to think we are pretty lucky. Yes, Janessa was born with a cleft palate, but it can be fixed. I feel bad for her because of the pain it causes her ears and because when her food comes out of her nose, it is probably fairly uncomfortable but really...her problem can be fixed and therefore we are blessed.

Sometimes this causes me to not ask for prayer when maybe I should. If other people are struggling with much bigger things than why should I bother people with what is going on in our home. Well...enough of that...we could use some prayer!

2 weeks ago, Janessa was diagnosed with her 5th ear infection (this one a double one). They put her on an anti-biotic which she finished this past Friday and I hoped this would be her last one before her surgery to correct this problem once and for all. However, she didn't really seem to be better. She has still been tugging at her ears, yesterday she started coughing and last night she woke up crying a few times (usually she sleeps a solid 11 hours). So...off I carted her to the doctor today for what I thought was another ear infection. Only, it wasn't. Her ears are still congested and are constantly susceptible to infection but the doctor was more concerned with her cough. He said it sounds like RSV.

Great.

My mind immediately went back about 3 years ago where I stayed with Libby for a week at Strong Hosptial. She had RSV and was only 6 weeks old.

Libby Grace with RSV in February 2010

So after that 20 second panic attack, I came to my senses and realized that Janessa is older and it probably isn't going to go down the way it did with Libby. 

He continued to tell me that RSV gets worse until day 5 and that if she indeed has RSV, the cough can last up to 6 weeks

Great.

Her surgery is scheduled for exactly 3 weeks and 2 days from now. Apprently if she does have RSV and the cough does persist, her surgery may have to be rescheduled!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

So....We would covet your prayers that:

a) Janessa does not have RSV, just a virus or soemthing else

or

b) If it is RSV, that it would resolve quickly and not effect her surgery date.

In the meantime. We will be keeping her with us at all times. No more nursery at church (sorry Nursery workers...I know she is fun!) I know that we can't hide from all germs. We could pick something up at the grocery store just as easily as other places but for now, we will just keep our baby girl with us until we can get through all of this fun! 

Thanks for your prayers...and for reading this long post!

Our Friends Need a Miracle...Please Pray

Joy Is Strength

They are in need of some really big miracles right now but our God is greater and more able to do anything than we could ever imagine. These words come to mind.

Chris Tomlin — Our God (Is Greater) 

Water You turned into wine
Open the eyes of the blind
There's no one like You
None like You
Into the darkness You shining
Out of the ashes we rise
There's no one like You
None like You

Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God You are higher than any other
Our God is Healer, awesome and power
Our God, Our God...

Into the darkness you shining
Out of the ashes we Rise
There's no One like You
None like You.

Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God You are higher than any other
Our God is Healer, awesome and power
Our God, Our God...

And if Our God is for us, then who could ever stop us
And if our God is with us, then what can stand against?
And if Our God is for us, then who could ever stop us
And if our God is with us, then what can stand against?
What can stand against?

Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God You are higher than any other
Our God is Healer, awesome and power
Our God, Our God...
Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God You are higher than any other
Our God is Healer, awesome and power
Our God, Our God...
