Hearing baby's heart beat & Prayer (names shared)

I'm am in Love there is nothing better on a fall morning to wake up and pray to God and read His word and then still in His words. Then hear the heart beat of the one he is knitting in my womb! I am in a happy state when I can hear my baby's heart beat every morning a good 165 most days. Because of this happy time and me thinking about the baby God is making in my womb the one He know before I knew. (it's GOD awesome). I have decided to look into more about womb in God word and you know what I found 73 times womb is use in God's word and 2 times the word wombs is use. God has a lot to say about the womb. Here are some of my favorite in light of baby:

Psalms 127:3- Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. (KJV)

Psalms 22:10 - I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou are my God from my mother's belly.
(KJV)

Proverbs 31:2- What, my son? and what the son of my womb? and what the son of my vows?
(KJV) 

Jeremiah 1:5- Before I formed thee in the belly I knew three; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
(KJV)


On that last note we have Names!!!

If a boy Jeremiah Patrick Nicolle
Girl Abigail Lea Nicolle

Pray you all have a blessed morning like I have had this morning.

Jamberry Give Away WINNER! & Things going on here at the NIcolle's

OK need to get to the important things First right! JamBerry Give Away winner is:

Juliana Scotts

Congratulations! I'm how ever can't place the video here of how we did it. file was to large so I will place it on my facebook page Here: https://www.facebook.com/christina.nicolle.9 

Ok now on to today as some of you know we have been adding on to our home, well here is a photo of what part of my front yard looks like right now:
 
 
 Yep, that's my yard. Another month and a half and we should be done:) we will have a court yard in the middle and then a waterfall or fountain in the middle. Concrete should be going in this week. My hope is we will be done at least a week before Christmas as I'm sure anyone that has ever built on knows there's always a few set backs. We will be staying here for at least 3 more years. I can't wait to start growing things again in the yard. A house with out a garden and herbs is not a house worth having. So that will start the day right after construction. Hopefully a nice winter garden will be started.

Talking about herbs and gardens let's get to some baby recipes you can make for home of give as gifts.

Let's start with teething you can treat teething very easy with some nice Chamomile or lavender oil. just one drop with some carrier oil (I like coconut) use very small amount and gently massage the outside of the face along the jawline. that easy and I'm sure your baby will like the message.

Next we will go on to what most people like to make to put on there baby but this goes in their bath!
Diaper Rash: use 1 drop of german chamomile and 1 drop lavender with 1 drop whole milk. add mixture to bathwater swish with your hand to mix before baby goes in. make sure once baby is in you keep oils away from baby's eyes and face.

next one that we have to you with our daughter Providence: Colic: mix 1 drop lavender with 1 table spoon carrier oil (again I use coconut) gently massage a few drops into abdomen, stroking clockwise to follow the direction of the colon.

All these I use DoTerra oils for if you need some you are more than welcome to click on my doterra store button on the right side of the screen and see what else Doterra Can do for you and your Families Health.

Tomorrow I will be sharing more about DoTerra and the list of DoTerra items we can't live with out and what we use them for.

Jamberry Give away!!!!!!!!!

Yay, today is the day fun Jamberry give away! This is the first in our holiday give aways:) so yes that means there will be more. But first I have to share.... I just started a cool holiday planner that I'm hoping will get me through the season easier and also it just fills up some time for bed rest:) It's called The 12-week Holiday planner for the Christian Family- BY: Sheri Graham & Marilyn Moll

I had known Marilyn from her store her and her late husband use to run. Before we became Gluten Free her bread recipe was the Best! So I took a chance and got this As another blogger I follow is doing a workshop on it. http://www.raisingarrows.net/2014/10/peaceful-christmas-week-1/  So as I am doing it of course at the last min. last night when week two will be starting Monday:/ 

I am glad I got it and it is helping to get me in the spirit even though I am just sitting in my bed right now, but I have visions of sugar plum fairies that are dancing in my head.( well more like cookie and pie fairies:) So if you need some holiday planning help I strongly recommend this. I will be using this for years to come.

 Ok now for the give away........ Here is how we are doing it. Since I am not so computer savvy yet we are doing the give way in a different way. Any one that leaves a comment big or small will be given a # as far as what place they left a comment. Tomorrow at 9 a.m. with be the deadline for comments for give away then I will write all the numbers on paper and put them in a bowl my daughter will draw a # and that will be our winner that I will announce on Monday with a full video of how we did it and also some natural baby tips:) Once you see your name Monday if you are a winner I will message you and ask for address and off your give away will go:)

Here is it is:

1/2 cup vodka
25 drops wild orange (DoTerra) oil
15 drops Lavender
15 drops eucalyptus or OnGuard

#2 Tub and Tile Cleaner

1 cup backing soda
1/4 cup vegetable soap
1T distilled water
1Tvinegar
20 drops essential oil blend of choice (citrus oils are great they are a de-greasers)

mix soda and soap add water and oil when all is combined well add in the vinegar. it may forms so bubbles(soap)scoop in jar cap and label. if it gets a little dry add a little water at a time to refresh.

#3 Wood floor polish

Can you tell I like lavender in my cleaning:) melt the wax into the oil until just mixed As it starts to cool stir in the oil and continues to stir until a creamy semi solid clump is seen then place in a tin for storage.

Trying to get back to Blogging!!

Ok really trying to get back to blogging not only to share our new baby on the way due May 2015 but to share some other good stuff to and I have some pregnancy give aways lined up.

 This pregnancy comes after we had lost one nicolle baby in April 2014. I am currently 9 weeks 5 day and on bed rest for at least another week maybe longer. We found out at 6 weeks that I have a small Subchronic Hemorrhage.( http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/404971-overview) It has been known to cause miscarriage and we are remaining hopeful. We did see baby's heart beat and so for us that is good enough for hope. I have another appointment October 31 and hopefully we will still see baby Nicolle #7 growing and happy. I should be 13week s by then. I do also have MTHFR(http://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/gene/MTHFR) which makes it hard for bed rest and risk of  blood clots. But Children are a blessing of the Lord and I will do all that is in my power to help each one I can that God would give us.

We have now got our DoTerra shop up and running so if you need some oils for some of this yummy stuff we will be working on doing you can get it there, I love all the stuff and trust it to be the best. You can go here for more info. http://www.mydoterra.com/naturalmeadow/

Also surprise we have begun the addition to our house. A little crazy with being on bed rest. We will have by Christmas hopefully two more rooms and two more bath rooms. So a total  of  4 bedrooms and 3 bath rooms:) For a family that will soon be 9 It will be great! We have it for at least three years then hopefully to TN!!! We will see what God has in store but for now we are content with there we are and making the best of it. Come back tomorrow for some cleaning recipes that are safe for use in the house and smell great:)

Ok so getting back on track with writing has not been as easy as I thought it would. But I have to say we have had some fun as of late. We have been designing our home. Yep. We are going to be Blessed with a four bedroom and two bath home. Well maybe a three bathroom we have not decided yet. We will be out of a home for three months while they are building so we bought a 26ft. travel trailer and are planning on taking it out for our anniversary for a trial run:) it sleeps 10 and has a crib built in I will have to take some photos soon.

The Plus side is that God has blessed us with not going into debt:) God is Good. Now We just have to get back on plan for starting our buss. We are finding some new items we would love to make and sell so maybe by the time we get it all up and running we will have some great items.

Now to get my house cleaned, school done for the day and a firm plan for the house design. Who would have ever thought that finding a design you really like would be so hard. But I'm sure it will all work out in the end. Or at least that is what my husband keeps telling me.

I am still hoping we can get some chickens going soon but we will have to get our two dogs trained better. I will look at getting some photo's done soon and post them until then have a great week and God Bless.
