50 days until we meet you…maybe.

It is amazing to look back and think of how fast you have grown little baby. Today marks 50 more days until our baby is due. I have enjoyed every minute of it. Chris has been the most amazing Daddy to be. We are getting more and more excited as the days pass by. We are so anxious to know whether its a baby girl or baby boy.

We finally finished painting the baby's room. We put up the crib, the bedding, and accessories. Now we are still putting a few finishing touches and are on the look out for furniture.

Heres the room so far:

Love is in the air!

Goodness its been soo long since I last posted. I am 28 weeks and 5 days I cannot believe time is flying on by. Into my last trimester and as weird as it sounds I feel refreshed and energized. Baby has been moving like crazy and I am loving it! Its truly such a miracle and I am amazed God has allowed me to take part in the miracle of life. I feel so blessed.

Valentines day is so close already, can you believe it? I want to bake something special for my love. He has been great and I am blessed to be a part of his life. As many of you know we are having a natural home birth (Lord willing) and we decided to take a Bradley Class. If any of you out there are planning a natural birth even if its not your first birth and want to try a natural birth I highly recommend taking this class. I am so glad we decided to take it. It has helped me to better prepare and to be more aware of the many choices I have when I give birth. Not only has it helped me but it has helped my husband understand the process of pregnancy better. It has brought us closer together.

I Will Be A Wonderful Mother

Sorry Ive been busy with the holidays and all. Thought I would share this poem I found and brought tears to my eyes. I am so blessed and in many ways I believe we all are.


I Will Be A Wonderful Mother 

There are women who become mothers without effort, 
without thought, 
without patience or loss, 
and though they are good mothers and love their children, 
I know that I will be better. 

I will be better not because of genetics or money or because I have read more books, 
but because I have struggled and toiled for this child. 
I have longed and waited. 
I have cried and prayed. 
I have endured and planned over and over again. 

Like most things in life,
the people who truly have appreciation are those who have struggled to attain their dreams. 
I will notice everything about my child. 
I will take time to watch my child sleep, explore, and discover. 
I will marvel at this miracle every day for the rest of my life. 
I will be happy when I wake in the middle of the night to the sound of my child, knowing that I can comfort, hold, and feed him and that I am not waking to take another temperature, pop another pill, take another shot or cry tears of a broken dream. 
My dream will be crying for me. 

Dairy Free Apple Cobbler with a KICK!

Last night I felt my very first kick…HOORAY…at first I wasnt quite sure but when I felt the second and third back to back I just knew it! It kinda felt like a muscle twitch in my lower abdomen. I was soo soo excited! It happened during some amazing preaching at my church I guess it even got baby going =D

As far as my pregnancy goes everything is going great! I have managed to nearly have a spotless house. Caught up on a lot of things I need to do around the house. I have noticed my back begins to hurt really bad already after vacuuming and sweeping…which honestly doesnt seem like much to do that much damage. I have never had any back problems whatsoever so I know its definitely the baby weight =D
