12 days of Christmas!

Ok I told you I would put the rest of the days of Christmas on here. Obviously it's still not over but here are days 5-10.

On the 5th day of Christmas my secret friends gave to me... Five twenty dollar bills! Can I just tell you what a shocker that one was! I almost started to cry when we got this one!


On the 6th day of Christmas my secret friends gave to me a goose down comforter for laying and a soft hippo. That comforter is so soft! I really loved the hippo! I kept hugging it and Jaden told me to put it down it wasn't mine, it was Kysa's!

On the 7th day of Christmas my secret friends gave to me... Seven rocks a swimmin and a movie with a body of water in it! I just thought that this one was great! I've always wanted one of those rock water things!
On the 8th day of Christmas my secret friends gave to me some items for 8 maids a milking! This was clever I thought. Milk and glasses, and then some cleaning supplies. I hope they weren't telling me to clean my house. lol!
On the 9th day of Christmas my secret friends gave to me some fun things to lay in and watch some ladies dancing. They are so creative!

I am not sure if you can read that one so I will type it. On the 10th day of Christmas my secret friends gave to me A Pineapple Candle?????????????????????????????





That sure isn't a pineapple candle... what do you think? It is $100 in 10's! Some one really loves us and we really love that someone! I have a strange feeling that whoever is doing this isn't going to tell us who they are! I am a little sad and if I don't find out it will totally drive me up a wall... but I will understand why they didn't tell us if they don't. I sure wish I could thank them from the very bottom of my heart! They don't know what this has ment to Jaden and I! I will keep you updated on the last two! Hope you are enjoying this as much as we are and my sister Mindy. She calls me every night to see what we got, it's cute!

The Stranger

This is my favorite Christmas story of the season! I hope that you like it as much as I did. I dare you not to cry. Maybe I'm the only one who cries at stories, I am pregnant!


At Christmas time there was a man who looked so out of place
As people rushed about him at a hurried sort of pace.
He stared at all the Christmas lights, the tinsel everywhere,
The shopping center Santa Claus, with children gathered near.

The mall was packed with shoppers who were going to and fro,
Some with smiles and some with frowns and some too tired to go.
They rested on the benches or they hurries on their way,
To fight the crowd  for purchases to carry home that day.

The music from a stereo was playing loud and clear
Of Santa Claus, and snowmen, and a funny-nosed reindeer.
He heard the people talk about the good times on the way,
Of parties, furs, and food galore, and gifts exchanged that day.

"I'd like to know what's going on," the man was heard to say,
"There seems to be some sort of celebration on the way,
And would you tell me who this is, all dressed in red and white?"
And why are children asking him about a special night?"

The answer came in disbelief, "I can't believe my ear!
I can't believe you do not know that Christmastime is here.
The time when Santa comes around with gifts for girls and boys.
When they're asleep on Christmas Eve, he leaves them books and toys.

The man you see in red and white is Santa Claus, so sly.
The children love his joyful laugh and twinkle in his eye.
His gift packed sleigh is pulled along by very small reindeer,
As he flies quickly through the air, while darting here and there.

The children learn of Santa Claus while they are still quite small.
When Christmas comes he is the most important of all!"

The stranger hung his head in shame, he closed a nail-pierced hand.
His body shook in disbelief, he did not understand.
A shadow crossed his stricken face, his voice was low but clear,
"After all these years, they still don't know," and Jesus shed a tear.

I hope that you all enjoyed that little story as much as I did. Let us all remember what Christmas is really about. 
Merry Christmas!

Emotions!

So Everyone has told me that while you are pregnant you cry all the time. I didn't really believe so much because I was totally fine at the beginning. Not any more! Holy cow! I cry over everything. My mom made us this book called the 25 days of Christmas, everyday you read a scripture, sing a song (which we don't do, we just look at the name of the song to see if we know it or not and thats about it for the song) and read a story. The point of this book is to help you remember what Christmas is really about, Christ. So every night Jaden and I get ready for bed and then sit and read this. Pretty much every story so far has made me cry. I am such a baby. The funniest story though is when I went to pick up my pills at Kmart. I went up asked for my pills and the girl was ringing me up and said "Wow, are your pills always this much?" I asked her how much and she told me $255 for one and $165 for the other one! I was so shocked! I told her our insurance is suppose to pay 80% of our pills. She said well let me call your insurance and see what is up. She called them and then came back over to me and told me they told her we pay 100%. Our insurance doesn't pay anything! I just started to cry. The poor girl was like oh I am so sorry! I told her it was ok I was pregnant. She felt so bad. So I just got the cheaper one and left and when I got in the car noticed that she had left them both in there so I took one back in. I am not going to lie, it was so hard to do that because we didn't have the money to get the other one. But I know it would have been so wrong. I'm glad I was honest even though it would have been nice to have them both for $165. 

Poor Jaden, he has to put up with all of my crying. We fight about anything and I totally lose it. He's a good man though because he tries so hard to keep me from crying. 
I got good news today though! Since our insurance won't cover the cost of my pills I went online to see if I could find some where that could help cover the cost of it. I found this place called RX aid. They are making it so that we only have to pay $25 a month for each of my medications. That is such a huge load off out shoulders! The Lord is really blessing us! 
As soon as I get a chance to go over to my in laws house, I will put the other days from the 12 days of Christmas on here. These people are so giving! Like I said when we need it most the Lord provides!

5th and 6th month; 12 days of Christmas!






So since I have been such a slacker I didn't put last months picture on so here is last month and this months pictures.







I'm getting huge! I really have nothing to wear now! I still have some shirts but pants, none. This is becoming a problem that I need to solve and fast!






For the past 4 days we have had a secret visitor. Some one has been doing the 12 days of Christmas for us. It has been so cool! They have been doing some really fun things So I have been taking pictures to show how much fun this has been. Whoever is doing this is really creative and fun!

The little note at the top says" on the first day of Christmas my secret friends gave to me a bat in a pear tree."



This is for the second day the note for this one said "on the second day of Christmas your secret friend gave to you some turtles and some doves for you to chew."


"On the third day of Christmas your secret friend brings to you Three french breads and spaghetti"


"On the Forth day of Christmas your secret friend has four calming items for you."

So that is where we are right now is the 4th day. Tomorrow we will see what we get.

Since I wrote last a lot has happened to us. A few weeks ago our jeep got broken into. I park at trax and leave our jeep there all day while I am at work and when I got home that day I got to the jeep and something was wrong with our lock. It looked weird but it was locked so I thought that some one tried to get in but couldn't and I was feeling better until I opened the door. The stereo and speakers and some other things were all gone. The jeep was left a huge mess. As soon as I saw it I just bust into tears. I called Jaden and then went to his parents house and got the insurance and everything taken care of. We just got the jeep back yesterday from being fixed. Our insurance paid for everything except $100 of it. We have good insurance. A couple days after that the battery on my car died. We have just had bad luck with our poor cars. I will try and keep this better updated. :)
