And then, the storm passed. The Lord brought us the deliverance we had been praying for. My nausea went away around 20 weeks. I had always loved being pregnant, even through the debilitating sickness, exhaustion and sciatic nerve pain, but I was finally able to really enjoy pregnancy at this point.
I mentioned earlier that one of the reasons we chose to move to Riverside was for the potential for Kevin to work for him family business. We knew this is where we wanted to end up long term, and prayed that a way would be provided for him to be taken on full-time.
Kevin had only worked at Ryder for 3 months. I am constantly shocked at this fact. Sometimes when you're so thick in the fog of trial that you can't see any escape of hope, you feel like you've been in the same spot, stagnant forever. But when you come out on the other side surviving, it can feel like it was just a breath. It's amazing what hairball to your perception of time when your trials have no end date.
We knew that in order for Kevin to get to work for the family business (a company making and supplying chicken feed to California egg ranches, fyi), someone would have to retire, and that seemed to be years away. But we just kept praying, and though it seemed unlikely, anything is possible for the Lord. Kevin started working at the Mill in late winter of 2014.
So life continued. My belt grew bigger and Kevin was predictably home by 5:15 daily. We prayed and prepared for the biggest change in our lives: Baby Hudson.
That pretty much catches things up to the now (minus Baby's birth story... coming next).
