My life has been chaotic, leaving little to no-time to write. However, writing has been long overdue.
My boss quit the salon I was working at and recently started a new one. Before I found out about the little bundle on the way, I had agreed to go with him. I thought there would be time, time before he moved, time to rest with his other assistant back in town, but there has been none.
Thankfully the schedule has not been a full one, and my boss is kind and very understanding of my physical needs to rest.
Unfortunately, that need to rest and the need to be sick is quickly progressing. Last week, I felt fine except most evenings. Now I feel sick all day, from the moment I wake up till going to bed.
Despite it all, the new job, the morning sickness, the baby on the way I am consistently reminded of the blessings and the fulfilled promises.
I was getting exhausted with my job, most assistants for my boss last a year and a half. I've been working with him for two and a half years and now I have an end date in site. My last day is Oct 29th. unless something outside of my control changes that. I have enjoyed working with him and he treats me very well, if I had to work I would definitely work with him. However, I am still excited that my last day is Oct 29th.
Now, for God's fulfilled promise. Actually, if you are overseas I would love to hear from you because you've played a special part.
In the earlier post God are You listening? I talked about how the Lord told me who my husband was going to be. The same girl, the metro girl, who had prophesied that Jesse would be my husband had made me another prophesy.
When I had called her to excitedly tell her of our engagement, she asked to pray for us. When she was praying she asked the Lord to bless us as we had our children while we were sharing scripture overseas. Apparently I didn't learn the first time, because I thought she was crazy. Jesse and I, didn't live overseas and weren't planning on it. Then when we got married and I started dealing with the vaginismus, I thought it would never happen. Amazingly enough, I started a blog, that talked about how scripture applied to our condition and the emotional issues that come with vulvodynia.
Sex is still painful, but possible and according to the stats I see some readers from overseas, and I am pregnant... So, I would love to hear from you!
Deut 7:9
Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; He is the faithful God, keeping His covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love Him and keep His commandments.
Daniel 9:4
I prayed to the LORD my God and confessed and said, "Alas, O Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps His covenant and lovingkindness for those who love Him and keep His commandments,
The Lord brought His people out of Egypt, He gave them their promised land, He promised the Messiah, Jesus Christ, His son, the man who was promised that he would not die till he saw Jesus as a baby; the Bible is full of examples of the Lord’s faithfulness and promises kept. -New Year's Resolutions
A baby is the promise He had given and is keeping to me and for him/her I am truly blessed.
P.S. With all the morning sickness it has been difficult to find to sit up and write through. So unfortunately this piece has not been edited to I apologize. Second, I would love it, if anyone who would be interested in sharing the story and how God has shown himself through their condition, would write me so we could have a guest writer.
So if you are from overseas or willing to be a guest writer or both, please send me an e-mail at

Small Delay
I did have plans to write. I thought through wording and pictures. I planned to do these things and I got distracted.
Apparently I've had very little break, from the time I lost my V-Card to actual pregnancy.
Pregnancy was something I thought would never happen due to the inability to actually have sex. With the birth control making me sick, and PIV not a possibility, I went off the pill a year and a half ago. When we did start having sex, it was a bit of a shock. I mean a good one, but we weren't actually prepared that sex would happen. Seeing as there has been some difficulty sliding into home, we avoided using the rubbers the other times.
I had what I thought would be my last gyno appointment on Thursday. My doctor informed me that all that needed to be done was practice, since I am significantly better. I decided to ask how to tell when I am ovulating. We looked at my cycle, he told me when I would ovulate and because I didn't have to go to the bathroom that was that. When I got home that evening, I looked at the calender.
The DAY that I lost my V-card began my ovulation cycle. So the next morning, I took a test and behold a plus sign. I've taken 3 more tests and the plus continues to show up and faster each time.
We are both truly excited and blessed to have the opportunity to be parents. It will however be challenging to deal with pregnancy symptoms and a sore vajay jay. So please keep us in your prayers.

Bad Blogger Award
I deserve the bad blogger award. Constantly putting my writing on hold was not the plan, it just happened. I have two topics in mind, but have not had both adequate time and energy at the same time. Working extra hours at the salon has made my normally busy week chaotic. In addition, I started my Mary Kay business. (If you'd like, shop online with me at www.marykay.com/rcoleman1424 )
My salon work is supposed to slow down, so I hope to be back to my usual weekly comic posting self next week.
Now for the update I promised:
After what seemed like an eternity, I had resigned myself to the thought that I would be in a constant state of treatment. The doctor kept saying that I had come so far and that this time I should be able to try. The last appointment seemed like a failure, when I told him again that we had been unsuccessful.
He gave a few helpful suggestions:
1. Having a clean digestive system (eat your yogurt and your flax, constipation can cause unnecessary pressure)
2. Ladies, prop your bottoms up with pillows, angle change maybe part of what your looking for.
They made all the difference in the world. Since we had moved into our new home I refused to try the deed in our bedroom. I was so afraid I would turn yet another room into a place of failure. However, for some reason that particular Friday evening I wasn't thinking, and we were in our bedroom. We got half way there. Extremely exciting and nervous, Sunday night, I took a left over Vicodine (which I had received from my hymenotomy). The event was very slow and still very painful but we did it, we lost our V-cards. The moment I had waited so long for had come. I felt so stupid because I started to cry out of excitement. It felt so unreal, I had come to think it would never happen and then it did. The Lord is good, I will not forget all His goodness, for He has blessed me and I am full.
I still have extremely painful beginnings. Sometimes I don't think I can do it. Yet, once past a certain point it's bearable and occasionally good. I still have work to do, but coming this far...I'm just so excited to have come this far.
I hope that you are all having a painless or less painful day.
