26 weeks

Today I am 26 1/2 weeks! Little Trent is a very active baby, much more than Presley was. I was blessed with a blissful virtually discomfort free pregnancy the first time around so I never understood what "done being pregnant" meant! I think I have officially joined the ranks of millions of other women out there...but hey! It could be worse so not too much complaining!!!

I am still sleeping pretty well...starting to pee a lot more at night. I have had heartburn since 6 weeks, so that's nothing new. My stomach hurts right around the belly button, I remember this with Presley. I am really tired, way more than Presley. I eat better though this time because I am trying not to gain too much weight (I have a lot of work to do after this baby!!!) Terry is the best...when Presley gets up at night, he goes and sleeps on her floor. I used to be the number one person who would take care of her, but now he does that at night...a huge blessing that I should tell him about everyday!! My gums are receding...that's new.

I just can't wait to hold this baby!! I miss that so much. My prayers for after baby comes is no PPD or baby blues like with Presley, nursing would go smoothly...no SLEEP ISSUES OR TUMMY ISSUES like Presley had...I guess what I am really praying for is one of the "Angel Babies" you hear about but have really never met????

Praise God for the miracle of life and the blessing of family :)

25 weeks is good!

25 weeks...is good! Women's retreat and campaign at work is behind me and they both went awesome. I was getting a ton of braxton and hicks but that has kinda diminished. I notice that when I get super busy I get them. Maybe I am too busy to remember to drink water and pee...who knows.

I see the doctor on Friday and the only thing that is really bugging me right now is a month long sinus thing that affects my nose, throat and face. I keep getting a sore throat that never goes away completely, my face and head hurts and just a lot of, sorry, mucus...I am thinking sinus infection?? Mild if it is, but annoying still.

We have had my in-laws staying with us for about two weeks while my father in law recovers from major sugery. Presley has grown so close to her grandmother and I love it! The computer I am using is really old and takes a while to upload pics...but I will try to put some on here of Pres.

I am grateful for an un-eventful post!

Resting in Jesus this Thursday Morning

What would I do without you Lord??!!!

Do you every have those moments in your life where the beautiful realization hits you like a ton of bricks that in the end...it comes down to two beings: YOU AND GOD. Not your husband, your boss, your enemies, or even your amazing children that have given your life a new meaning.

it is blowing my mind that the love that I have for my daughter that would cause me to easily lay my life down for her...is NOTHING compared to how Jesus loves me. Lately I have feeling his love everywhere I go, and all the time.

All of His blessing, my husband, my daughter, this pregnancy, job etc...are so beutiful and wonderful but there is only ONE thing I can not survive without, Jesus.

So on this Thursday morning...I am resting...yes resting in Jesus.
