Pregnancy at Week 25

Well as you can see I am trying to catch up in updating.

I can't believe that I am in week 25 of my pregnancy.  When you do the math, out of 40 weeks (for a typical pregnancy), I only have 15 more to go! I can't believe how fast this has been going so far.  I mean, I know there are times I feel like this is taking forever, but when you look at the numbers like that, it's like "woah" where did the time go?  I am in my 5 month, and only have 4 more to go! It just gets me more and more excited to meet this little one. 

As for other pregnancy fun I'm having, I no longer have any morning sickness, although there are smells out there that will make me want to gag.  My belly has definitely gotten bigger.  Sometimes I feel like I am small from where I am supposed to be, but at my last doctor appt, I measured at 24 cm (since I have completed 24 and in 25, so she says I'm right on track.  The heartburn is not very fun, and I'm told the old wives tale is that my baby will have a head of hair with all the heartburn I get.  That should be interesting considering I was a bald baby for awhile.  Back pain has started.  It is not excruciating by all means, but there are times I get up and walk to where I need to go, and I do get a little "Ooo that kinda hurts" feeling.  Not sure if that makes sense at all.  I know as the baby continues to grow that that pain will most likely get sharper.  I just keep telling myself that it WILL be worth it in the end. 

In other words, hopefully the remaining 4 months will go by fast so I can hold my little girl in my arms!

As always, prayer is most welcomed and appreciated for a healthy baby, pregnancy, and momma.  Thanks! :o)

22 Weeks (sorry this was the last one I took)

A Note From God to You -- For Those that Need Encouragement or a Friendly Reminder

Dear [insert your name here],

Today, I will be handling all your problems.  Please remember, I do not need your help.  If a situation you cannot handle happens to appear, DO NOT attempt to resolve it.  Kindly put it in the SFJTD (Something For Jesus To Do) box.  It will be addressed in MY time, not yours.  Once the matter is placed into the box, DO NOT hold on to it or attempt to remove it.  Holding on or removal will delay the resolution of your problem.  If it is a situation that you think you are capable of handling, please consult me in prayer to be sure that it is the proper resolution.  Because I do not sleep nor do I slumber, there is no need for you to lose any sleep.  Rest my child.  If you need to contact me, I am only a prayer away.

Love ALWAYS,
God

Psalm 55:22: “Cast your cares on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken.” AMEN!

I got this out of a book I'm reading so I can't take any credit but it sures makes me feel good! :o)

 

It's A Girl!!

So I have realized I have not done a good job keeping up with this whole blog thing.  Hopefully I will get better at this, most of the time I forget about this, which is why I am bad at blogging.

Well on April 14th, Zach and I found out the wonderful news that we will be having a little girl. :o) I know Zach, as most guys do, would have liked having a boy first, but now that we have been planning for the arrival of our precious little one, he is getting more and more excited for this little girl.  I know he will be such a great dad to her, and that they will have this wonderful father-daughter relationship. 

We are so excited for our new addition! Will try to keep more up-to-date on this!



Here is how we decorated our soon-to-be nursery room
when we announced to our families (our moms and
sisters came down for this).
