Jackie's Diary EntriesDiary Navigation: |
April 12, 2002
As I sit here writing this entry, I can only wonder what life has in store for me in the next couple of days. I am scared, but optimistic that I will find out the I am going to be a mom. I have faithfully prayed every night and thanked GOD for all the blessings that he has bestowed upon me. Regardless of my outcome, I am happy and will not doubt for a minute that I am on the path that GOD intended me to be on.
A Terrible Dream
Most mornings when I wake up, I don’t remember anything that I have dreamed about. On rare occasions do I remember my dreams- generally they are ones that are frightening. In the middle of the night, I woke up crying and I was shaking very bad. I instantly remembered the dream that I was having and it made me hysterical. I dreamed that I was pregnant and I went to the bathroom and all of a sudden a little tiny sac fell out of me that was still attached to me inside- much like an umbilical cord. Inside the sac was my precious little baby. Just remember back to the dream, fills my heart with sadness and brings tears to my eyes. This dream just added to my fears of what will happen in just 3 short days.
Thank You
Thank you to everyone who has left all of the wonderful messages on my board and all the prayers. It has warmed my heart and I so appreciate it.
A little Good News
My husband, Brendan and I have been searching for a new home for that last 18 months or so and our search has finally ended. We stumbled across a new community were we live and found a house similar to what we have been searching for. We signed the contract on Easter weekend and this Saturday we get to go pick out our colors. I am so excited. This is the first time that I have actually owned anything other than a car. I get to pick out everything from the siding color to the carpeting. It’s a perfect house- 4 bedrooms, a huge country kitchen that is open to the family room, open floor plan, lots of windows (in fact I even added extras), a big basement and the biggest lot in the neighborhood. Brendan and I have been looking for a home in a small community where you will know your neighbors and yet have a decent size lot for the dogs to run on and room enough for a small in-ground pool. We have looked and looked and just never found the right one until now. We are so excited!!!! Now all we have to do is sell our townhouse and we are on our way. We even have a perspective buyer coming on Saturday morning to look at it and we haven’t even put it on the market. He heard we were looking to sell from a neighbor and contacted us!
Aimee and Stacey
You are both in my thoughts and prayers are you journey down familiar territory. I so wish that you both find out positive results and have a healthy 9 months ahead of you.
Hugs,
Jackie
