Ahhh!!! I'm still alive!!!

Here is a little bit about what's been goin on!!

Baker is the center of our world... He's simply amazing. God has truly blessed us with an incredible little boy! A week ago this past Tuesday, he was 4 months old :) He's talking away now, or so he thinks :) He rolls over all the time, and can't stand it when he can't roll back over! He is still breastfeeding, which is wonderful. I believe it makes the bond so much stronger. Absolutely nothing against someone who doesn't/didn't... but with me, I have to work full time right now. So, I believe it gives Baker and I some time that we wouldn't normally have. So needless to say, since I work full time, I spend every possible minute with him. It's amazing to look at him, and know how long we prayed for him. God answered our prayers with this little miracle, and I just can't get over how blessed we are to have him! (and I hope that I never get over it either!!!)

Phil is doing good. We are praying that his job will either be transfered, (so he doesn't drive so far) or that God will open another opportunity. Phil is also really into hunting this year... I'll include a picture of his "gig" :) It's something he is really enjoying right now, it's like a stress relief to him! :) Please pray with us, we have several decisions to make in the near future and we strongly need God's guidence. Also, My family is going through some rough times right now. Specifically on my Mom's side... My mom's dad, Ray Hamock was diagnosed with Dimencia not that long ago. He moved in with my parents for Mom to be able to take care of him. He has fallen several times, and is just declining at a rapid rate. This afternoon, they are putting him in a nursing home not far from my parents house. He doesn't really open his eyes much anymore, and isn't getting out of bed either. Please pray for my mom as she is with him every day, and just wants to do the best she can to honor him, and take care of him.

I am doing good too. Staying super busy trying to be a Mommy and Wife and all the other many titles I have and still work a full time job. I am really wanting to either work part time, or be able to do something out of my home. Working full time is so hard physically and emotionally while trying to breastfeed and be a mommy... Don't get me wrong. I LOVE being a mom and wouldn't trade it for anything! Seriously, it's the best thing ever! So, maybe one day... God will allow me to be a stay at home mom :)

We are so excited about the many things coming up in the next couple of months! I swear I will try harder to be better at this!!! Facebook is so much easier though... lol (you can catch me there!!!)

Here are some pics for you to enjoy!!! Oops! Just realized what time it is. I’ll try to add more tomorrow!

Hi Ya'll!!!!

Holy Cow!!! Things have been crazy 'round here! And to think we are gonna add another person to the mix!!!

Phil has been keeping himself busy doing things at home, but most recently... he's been fishing with his dad! And this is an everyday thing! The other day, they caught a catfish that was at least 8 pounds. It was almost 2 feet long. They were both very excited about it...

I am now 33 weeks pregnant... here's a very odd picture of my belly... lol it's hard to take a picture of yourself! We have pictures on our camera, but I'm too lazy to upload them!

Looks pretty silly, I know... but you get an idea of how big this belly is gettin!!! Just had a doctor appt last Friday, and I am -1 pound! So I haven't gained anything! I've lost!!! Which is probably a good way for you to tell how sick I've been! Speaking of the little rascal himself... This is by far the most precious picture we've had...



For those of you who for some reason can't see it... ;) Top right of the picture is his belly, then his knee and leg which leads down to both of his feet. (Picture it like he's sittin on his butt, and has his legs crossed) I was so tickled to get pictures of his toes!!! Are they not the most precious thing ever?!?!!? We tried so hard to get pictures of his face, but he didn't want us to see him!!! He litterally had his hands like he was boxing right in front of his face...

Probably the most amazing thing about being pregnant, is feeling him move inside me. It's incredible and so very freaky at the same time! Sometimes it feels like he's doing all he can go get out of there! He has always been head down, just flips from side to side. I've felt his foot quite a few times... it's so neat!!! Just think, in less than 7 weeks we'll be holding this little one!!!! Can't wait!!!!

Who says Hulett's can't have fun?!?

Last night, we had the privilege of spending the evening with Phil's brother Mike, Mike's wife Patti, and their son Sam. We had a wonderful meal of Sketti, Salad and these amazingly good cheese stuffed bread sticks... Mmm. lol It's making me hungry just talking about it! We had a good time just spending time talking and the such... Part of our evening was spent watching Sam play with one of their dogs Jazzy. I just had to put this picture on here... it's it adorable?!?!?




Thanks to the "other Hulett's" for a wonderful evening... We love you guys!

So many other things are going on right now... My dad has been in the hospital for a few days, he's been bleeding internally and they really haven't found a reason why. It's too complicated to explain on here, I'm afraid I would get some details wrong, but please just be sure to pray for him. It looks like he will be in the hospital for another few days.

For the most recent update on our growing little one... check out my other blog here.

We recently made a trip to TN... I'll have to get the pictures downloaded!

God has been so good to us, Phil has been laid off for over six weeks now, and was told the layoff was indefinite. We are really seeking God's wisdom on how long to wait until he finds a new job. They are still paying his insurance, and keeping all of his benefits and such. Phil really wants to do the right thing, and is waiting for God to make it plain. :) Mean while... the nursery is almost completed! Phil has built the entire room almost by himself. I'm so proud of him... it looks amazing. We are so anxious for our little Baker to get here!

Oh, and kudos to my friend Miss A for the new picture above... isn't it cute?!?!? Thanks Ang!

Love from my house to yours... Em

The New Year

Hello all!

It's hard to believe that it's already the 7th of January... We are 7 days into the new year! Seems like just a while ago... we were talking about how 2008 being here seemed impossible! Isn't God good though? 2008 was probably one of the roughest years for Phil and I... but it ended up being one of best years of my entire life!

It always amazes me to stop and think of where God has brought me from, and where He has me now... Sometimes I'm so ashamed of where God had to bring me from... how He had to change me to make me what I should be for Him. My attitude towards serving Him has changed dramatically. I know that I'm only 25, but I believe that God gives us more wisdom as we age... We tend to see the more important things in life, rather than the very flippant ones that couldn't be larger than a piece of dust compared to eternity...

I haven't really set a "resolution" this year... they tend to get broken very fast. I know that my walk with God needs to be closer. I want to be the kind of example to my children, that they look at me, and think... "Wow, I want to know God like she does." I want to strive to be the best wife I can be... sometimes I'm unbearable... I work all day, then come home to dishes and cleaning and the devil gets the best of my attitude. I'd like to work on that... I'd like to strive to show God to others more... He means the world to me, do others know that? I have the best husband in the world. Literally. He's so compassionate, and loves the Lord. He takes care of me, and understands me more than any other person. God does that. God makes us one, and I am so thankful for that. He's the most understanding person I know... He lets me speak my mind, because he wants to know what's on my mind. He loves me for who I am... I'd like to show him more that he means the world to me.

I could go on and on... but I must needs to stop typing. So much will happen this year... and I can't wait to drink it all in... God will provide for us, and He will be there with us each step of the way...

Em

Oh by the way... I'm four months pregnant! We find out in a month if it's a boy or a girl! We are so anxious! God is good!
