Praises of a Wife and Mommy

This was taken in June of 2009!  My cute lil family!  

It is that time where I should sit down and figure out the plan or what I would like it to look like when I go into labor.  I never wrote one with my daughter and I have no idea what I want to include. Any advice?  Is this just a waste of time?? Lots to think about... HELP

This has been a crazy week in Wisconsin! Click this link to hear the story: High school students support teachers by walking out - WAOW - Newsline 9, Wausau News, Weather, Sports The Wisconsin Senate has adjourned for the day after minority Democrats failed to show up for a vote on a contentious collective bargaining bill. The Republican proposal would strip most public sector workers of almost all their collective bargaining rights. The bill has sparked a protest at the state Capitol that has stretched on for three days and shows no sign of ending. Republicans who control the Senate had scheduled a vote on the bill Thursday morning. Debate was supposed to begin around midday, but the body's 14 Democrats never showed up. Without a quorum, Republicans could not vote. Senate President Mike Ellis, a Neenah Republican, called an end to Thursday's floor session around 4:45 p.m. Republicans planned to return to the floor on Friday.

I know I should not complain and just love the battle marks of being pregnant... but I am complaining a little.  I got my first stretch marks!  :(  I never got any when I was pregnant with my daughter but here at 34 weeks with my son I have 2 small ones right under my belly button!  I am really praying that I don't get any more and that they do not darken. I lotion up every day but I know that does not prevent them.  Are there any tricks or ideas to keep them from coming or lighten them up?? How many of you have gotten dark stretch marks?  What have you done to lighten them up?  It really is part of being pregnant...take the good with the bad and stop complaining.... right!!!

Every week you never know what to expect at FUSE.  We always have a small game and this week it was a Banana game!  LOL fun stuff! Any other youth pastors or leaders out there?  What do you do for games?
