Hawk in a tree behind our houseMama Hawk? Way high in the nest in our woods. I spent much of today looking out the window for the Red Shouldered Hawk that is nesting out in our woods. It's been very exciting to watch them build their nest. This is my favorite time of the year when the leaves start to peek out and our woods transform into a curtain that separates us from our neighbors. For a few months we have privacy!

(for all you bird lovers...) Here is a video of the hawk collecting branches




Tonight I attended my Biblestudy. I was so encouraged by each of the women who offered me some advice to my own "Thought closet" issues of "Faulty Assumptions" that I tend to have. I have really felt inspired through this study to feel more in control of the negative thoughts I dwell on. I guess I have always seen this as a weakness of mine yet never really considered inviting God to help me in this area.

Tonight Mom and Dad are in Boston, attending a conference on Waldenstroms...they were able to speak w/ a specialist today and run some blood tests. The doctor, (a world expert I believe) said that for now we can probably just rest and not rush in to further treatment, which would be great b/c they have a trip to Alaska coming up and our family trip to the OBX this summer. I'm really happy for him! :)

well that's about it.. .I've been so busy trying to catch the house up and keep up w/ my responsibilities that I find little energy to blog when my day is over. Also the progesterone I take at night tends to make me dizzy, which doesn't help the thought process!! :)

If you could say a prayer for me, I'm slowly weaning down off the progesterone, which is a scary time for me, hoping that my body will take over the production of progesterone and support the pregnancy. So far I went from 3 pills to 2... but this week I'm down to 1 a day. I listened to the baby via doppler last night and heard the heartbeat right away, so-so far so good!
