Encouraged
Mark just got an e-mail this morning from a reputable press saying that they are interested in his book!!! What a praise!! We just hope that it all ends in a book deal - that will be known way down the line :o) Keep praying!

moody
I really believe - and Mark would heartily agree(because I asked), as well - that I am more moody as a non pregnant person than I ever was as a pregnant person. It's certainly not an excuse for my sin - trust me, it's not - it's just something that I've noticed. Poor Mark. Maybe that was the perk of being pregnant - their certainly didn't seem to be many for me.

happenings here
First off - I'd been waiting for this outfit to go on clearance from Old Navy - I think it's just too cute. It's not that Matthew is wanting for clothes, at all. Thankfully, I don't need to buy him any clothes at this point.
Monday was really his roughest day on the teeth front. Yesterday wasn't too bad, at all. We're thankful for that!!
He's eating oatmeal now - two days in a row. He takes it fine.
This picture was taken right after he rolled onto his back - he still does it while trying to get to sleep - still hasn't figured out how to roll back. I just checked on him in his crib for his nap and - yes - he's rolled over. He's quite content right now, though. One other time, he just fell asleep on his back - I'm hoping that the same happens - we'll see.
Our biggest thing - he's starting to "lunge" crawl. We just noticed it last night -and we're scared. :o) Once he starts going.............we think he'll be everywhere!! He's not very effective at it, yet. It will be interesting to see how much he's progressed when Mark comes back(he's leaving on Monday the 9th) on the 21st.
*****about the blog change - i had tried to import a layout from another website. i ended up not liking it - difficult to view the pictures. i thought that i had saved the original blog properly - evidently, i hadn't. i figured it was a good time to simplify it and see if a new template would be a good change - i haven't decided if this one will stay.

addendum
Matthew is now cutting two teeth - we have loss of hearing to prove his discomfort with the whole situation.
attitude of gratitude
I wanted to take a minute to share some things I've been thankful for.
#1 - a loving and patient God - I'm so thankful for His goodness in our lives - knowing that He is good and is working out everything for my good - even when I don't interpret "it" as good right now - I have to remember that it's not about me - thank you Mark for a good discussion and reminder in our Sunday school class yesterday.
#2 - a wonderful husband - I could give lots of examples - but won't bore you with them :o)
#3 - a healthy little boy - it's time once again to sort through his clothes - I had to bring out three boxes of new clothes in this age range to go through - I confess that I do get a little sad putting away the smaller sizes - but, I'm very thankful to be getting out lots of bigger clothes.
#4 - my job - I am so happy to be done with orientation - from the standpoint of not working as much as I had been - even though the paycheck was very pretty. I am scared to be one of two nurses and off orientation - there is just sooooo much to learn. The mundane stuff doesn't scare me (you know, the kid that came in to the ER for an ingrown toenail - what an abuse of the system!!). It's the life threatening stuff that rolls through the doors - and by life threatening - I mean my life, too, at times.
#5 - my extended family and friends - I just can't say enough how thankful I am for all of you - even though we may not talk or see each other much.
#6 - Mark's job - I would still rather be living here than us having to move every year for temporary positions in cities that I love.

First tooth
You can't see it here - but Matthew is cutting his first tooth. I was expecting this - he's had a little diarrhea, a little fever here and there and a little fussiness.
I first noticed it on Saturday. It's hard to get a good look at his gums - everytime I try to check, he sticks his tongue out. But, chomping down on my finger when I put it in his mouth quite confirmed it yesterday :o)
