Some big changes...and redefining goals

Well, God certainly has a way of surprising us and changing things up to show that while we may make plans ultimately all is in His hands. 

 "The heart of man plans his way,
    but the Lord establishes his steps"

Proverbs 16:9

At the beginning of February we got a very big surprise when we found out that baby #5 is on the way.  I have to admit the news was very overwhelming and I'm still adjusting to the idea and all of the changes and details that have to be worked out.  God is showing me in many small ways that He is in control and already has these things worked out.  As a planner, it's often hard for me to just "let go and let God". 

I had my first appointment with my midwife on March 5th and we announced our coming addition to our family and friends after that visit.  My due date is Sept. 26th. 

So, needless to say my goals for this year have been changed a bit so I thought I would update.  The good news is that I've gotten the okay from my midwife to continue running and exercising (with modifications) as long as I feel okay.  So, here are my original goals and my updated goals.

Original:
1) Finish reading Creative Counterpart - DONE
2) Finish reading Crazy Love
3) Attend More for Moms (Bible Study group)
4) Attend Moms night out (Bible/Book Study group)
5) Continue with Running/P90X2 - STILL RUNNING HAD TO STOP P90X2
6) Run all 3 Wild Rover Races - I'VE RUN 2 BUT ONE HAD TO BE RESCHEDULED TO 4/14, THANKFULLY IT'S THE 3 MILE ONE SO I STILL SHOULD BE OKAY TO RUN THAT ONE.
7) Be at college weight by June (have about 6lbs more to go) - MADE IT TO WITHIN 2LBS BEFORE PREGNANCY STOPPED THE WEIGHT LOSS
8) Slow Down - Don't overschedule
9) Finish some crocheted gifts for friends - DONE
10) Reevaluate grocery shopping habits & cut costs.
11) Complete 8 week fitness/weight loss challenge - DID MOST OF THIS, HAD TO STOP DUE TO MORNING SICKNESS
12) Set up a daily schedule - Redeem the time - Limit time on computer/phone.
13) Continue Rereading 1000 Gifts and working on list. - DONE REREADING, STILL ADDING TO THE LIST


New Goals:
1) Finish reading "Crazy Love"
2) Read 2 presidential biographies (Garfield & Harding books are on the way)
3) Continue attending More for Moms & Mom's Night Out
4) Continue running for as long as possible
5) Use Prenatal Fitness Fix DVD regularly
6) Finish crocheting Keira's blanket
7) Crochet blanket for baby (once we find out gender)
8) Set up daily schedules (had forgotten about this but need to do this)
9) Declutter kid's rooms
10) Find and complete a Bible study of 1 John

I may think of more as the year goes on but for now I'll leave it at that.  The grocery goal is one that I'm going to say is done for now.  Matt & I have discussed this and for now I'm doing the best I can with the eating priorities we have for our house (many fresh veggies, VERY limited processed foods, etc) and the fact that we have 4 growing kids who eat a lot :)
