No more acupuncture...

I had another acupuncture appointment, yesterday. As much as I want this to work, I just can't do it. I am so tense, upon entering her office and I leave with a terrible headache. Yesterday, one of the needles in my left leg throbbed with pain the entire time. My left leg was still hurting, hours later. I prayed through my entire appointment, in efforts to receive some peace about being there. It never came. I actually cried after I left the office. I just don't want to keep going. I have no fear of needles, it's not about that. It's about feeling God's presence. I feel like I am fighting another presence, the entire time I'm there. Alex feels like it's doing me more harm than good. It's definitely not a stress reliever for me. I have a massage therapist that I have gone to for years. I have a call into her, to discuss getting massage therapy, every week. From what my doctor said, it's all about increasing blood flow. I know that massage increases circulation and whether it can help with my infertility...I have no idea. I do know that when God is ready to give me a baby, He can do it with or without acupuncture. I'm choosing without.

I did receive some exciting news, yesterday! My sister and I cater different events when we have the opportunity. We received an email about a February catering job and it could potentially lead to many more catering jobs, for this certain company. We're so excited! We love cooking and baking and we love working together. This provides the perfect opportunity for all three!

And to end this post, I have even more exciting news...we have a new nephew!! William Cole Averitt arrived yesterday! He weighed 7lbs - 12oz and is the cutest little thing. We went to the hospital to meet him, last night. Alex was asking me on the phone, 'how many nephews and nieces does that make for us?' To answer that question...Cole makes #20! Here are a few pics of the sweet baby boy.

Oh, how I can't wait to be holding a tiny baby and it be all mine. :)

Love to all,
Jill
