Well the date is set to find out the gender of our baby! July 15th! The day that Harry Potter comes out. We are so excited to finally know what are little munchkin is! :)
At the last Dr visit they did all the blood work and offered to do the down syndrome test. We obviously said that it wasn't necessary, that it wouldn't change anything about the pregnancy and how much we want and love this baby. They told us that they would look over my blood work and said that no news was good news. It's been almost a week and we haven't heard anything so that is always relieving.
Mike had to work on a big boiler project this weekend for his boss. I don't know if I have said this before, but the guy Mike works for owns a boiler company and Mike is sometimes asked to go on call to some boiler maintenance every now and then. When he goes on call he make $10/hr rather than the $6.75/hr mowing his lawn. But since it was the weekend he mad overtime on Saturday and on Sunday he made $20/hr. We figure that is how the employees get Sundays off, they charge a higher rate to the factory or whatever if they have to work/fix their boiler on a Sunday. Mike left at 7:30 am on Sunday morning and didn't get home until 2:30 am the following morning. The poor boy logged about 18 hours of work...on a Sunday. This last weekend was really hard for him. He felt like he didn't have anytime to unwind from the work week and relax, which he really didn't. But the good thing about it is that he basically worked enough on Sunday to cover our rent for July! Sometimes the Lord sees that we need help to get through. And when we are living righteously and doing all that we can do, He will bless us with what we need most. I have such a great testimony of this. Every since we have been married, not a bill has even gone unpaid, rent is always paid on time, and we have just enough to buy groceries every week. The Lord truly loves us and knows what we are going through and will bless us if we live like He asks us.
