Anyways so here is to testing my anxiety and stress Sunday school class. I've typed out my worries, I'm praying and trusting God will provide, and now to try and get some sleep and enjoy the next 4 weeks home with my little girls Teagan and Harper and hoping Blakely decided to stay cozy in my belly a little longer.
Brandon and Nicole, and their daughters Teagan 3 years old, Harper 2 years old and Blakely 10 months old.

Sunday School Lesson put to the test
So right now in Sunday school we are studying anxiety and stress. I haven't been able to make it as much as I like due to praise team and then work but I did make it 2 weeks ago and learned a lot. The one thing I learned that I really struggle with is that anxiety and worries are actually a sin. We really need to remember to turn these worries over to God, so while I believe in this, God has tested us over the last 2 weeks. Following this lesson, approx 25 minutes after, Brandon threw his back out again while picking up Harper as she ran from him at church. With shingles partially removed from our roof (we are putting up steel), and me needing some extra help with the girls due to pregnancy and homework, Brandon throwing his back out was not the best timing. So last week I tried to suck it up and take care of Brandon (which I'm not very good at!!), work extra hours (yep I was scheduled an extra shift last week), take care of the girls, and take care of the house (which is lacking majorly, so if you come over please excuse our mess.) After working this weekend I was sore, achy, and cramping so at my appointment on Tuesday I told the doctor and she decided to check my cervix, which I wasn't real surprised but I am dilated at 31 weeks which led to a wheelchair ride down to Labor and delivery to monitor contractions, 48 hours of bed rest, and 2 steroid shots. Fortunately the FFN test showed I most likely wont deliver for the next 2 weeks. However, the doctor decided it is best that I'm off work until I am 36 weeks, and no lifting over 15 lbs, which basically means no picking up Harper who thinks she needs to be carried by mommy a little too much. So now the stress adds up even more, first of all I've only been working for a little over a year at my current job so I really don't have anytime saved up, which means when my short-term disability is up and then I am actually required to take maternity leave I am going to be without any pay, 2nd we still really need to look at getting a new vehicle for Brandon so that he can pick all 3 girls up from daycare when I do go back to work, 3rd I need to finish 1 1/2 more weeks of school, and then all the other daily stuff like cleaning the house, laundry, paying bills, finishing my 10 week countdown list, etc...
