Check-up. 20 Weeks. Half Way. Woot Woot.

Half way- I can’t believe it!!!! Onone hand I feel like I have been pregnant forever, on the other hand, I can’t believe I only have 20 weeks left! Carazay!

I had a check-up yesterday and everything looks great! My Doc. says that she has a very strong heartbeat and within the next couple of weeks I will not only be able to feel her inside of my belly, but I will be able to feel her with my hand when I touch my belly. I am excited for Ryan to be able to feel her, It is kind of not fair right now because I can feel her all of the time and he is missing out on it. Oh well, soon enough.

I am now officially back up to my pre-pregnancy weight.  I am going to try really hard to only gain 1 lb. a week.  However, Lucy, like her mama has a LOVE for sweets. Love Love Sweets. So, The Lord is really really going to have to pull some miracles here to help us continue to grow in self control in this area of eating. Ha-Ha. Now, you may be thinking, if you want sweets, eat a piece of fruit. Ok, yeah that makes sense but it doesn’t work. I know that whatever you are craving your body needs and if I am craving sweets then I should eat some berries or fresh fruits but when my mouth is specifically watering for chocolate sauce, I can eat all the fruit I want but I am still going to be craving that chocolate until I get it.

House, we didn’t get it. =0(

Someone else put in a cash offer and the bank took it. Stinkers. BUT, that is ok. This just means that there is something better out there for us! I trust that God is faithful and wants to bless us and I guess he just has a better blessing than that house. Sounds good to me! Can’t say I wasn’t a little disappointed and tempted to question God’s sovereignty but after reminding myself of His truths and promises, I feel much better. Wherever we end up, it is for a good reason. Hopefully it will be in a new home where we can grow our family and practice hospitality but if not, it is what it is. Please feel free to join in praying for us as we continue to pursue this option.

I am just in love with this child growing inside of me. Gosh. I can’t explain it but I have this incredible feeling of joy and excitement. I didn’t think I ever would until we actually met for the first time but I was wrong. I can not wait!!! Although, I can wait for the giving birth part. eeek. Good thing we are a few weeks away from that…

She is kicking me right now. I guess that means get off the computer and go take a walk. I think she is right. YES! She has the gift of wisdom!
