Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving we were able to break in my sister's new home, and celebrate in her beautiful kitchen with lots of family favorites, and to much of them. Can you tell that I ate to much, and can't breath??



I think that my mom is laughing at me, because she knows that it will only get worse before it gets better. This little guy reminds me when I eat to much, because then I can't breath. Only have I had one day where he dropped a little lower and reminded me that I have to go the bathroom every 5 minutes. So either way the inconveniences are worth it. I am thankful for them, because without this baby I wouldn't have those discomforts, and they make me thankful for him! I think that it is easy to be thankful for the "easy" things in life, and that is why we aren't thankful day after day, or even forget to be thankful. We are all guilty of it, but this past week I spent my quiet time searching through the scripture for those passages of thanks. They are all through out the bible being thankful for the easy things and for the hard, but it is being thankful for the hard when Satan can whisper in your ear. I know you don't want to be thankful for the loss of a loved one, or a difficult situation, but you can be thankful that the Lord is by your side to help you through the situation, and will help you fight away Satan. You don't have to be thankful that you are diagnosed with Cancer, but you can be thankful that your strength to fight it comes from the Lord. It is hard in the midst of the struggle, but when you come out on the other side you can really look back and see the path that God had laid out, and how it all came together.

I am thankful that my father in law is so good with his hands, and turned the beautiful wood into a masterpiece that is now our nursery. Pictures to come.

Thankful that our family is growing.

32 weeks.....Means only 8 weeks left

It has been a while since I have posted, but just the usual has been going on. Work, work, play.....prepare for baby boy! Yikes! We have been growing like crazy. I came home from work the other day, and Davy told me that I had grown while I was at work. Like I drank some miracle grow, and bam!! I am bigger. So silly, but it really does feel like I am on miracle grow, and if you really think about that phrase, it is true! There is a very miraculous being growing inside of me. A child of God, that has been bestowed upon me and Davy to care for, and nurture into the man that God wants him to be. He has entrusted us with this amazing task, and I have to tell you that I am blown away by that. 8 weeks isn't enough time to prepare for that honor. So here is the latest pic.



I was thrown a baby shower for my family and friends from back home, and had the best time! I don't have pics from that yet, but as soon as I do I will post them. We were blessed with great things for baby boy, and I can't wait to get it all together for him.
We are coming up on Thanksgiving pretty quickly, and this year we have so much to be thankful for. I had a friend ask me the other night, "Did you ever think this was going to happen?". My reply was honestly no, and now that it is here it is just a reminder of what an amazing and loving God that we have, and how it is all in his time and planning. As soon as we succumb to that, so many doors will be opened that you know only His power could have done it. I pray you all have a very blessed Thanksgiving!!!!
