I have noticed whenever I am in public, people walking by look at me quickly in the eyes and then immediately down to my belly. There might as well be a sign that says, "STARE HERE!" I don't mind it though - just reminds me of this wonderful blessing I am carrying.
I am anxious for sure. I started putting some things together in my hospital bag just to remember what to pack (nursing tanks, etc.) I have started to pray more and dive in to a good book I purchased called, "Praying through your pregnancy." It helps me focus on the big picture instead of worry about all the details left to get done and the impending pain of labor I am about to endure. EEEK!
Today's devotional talked about praying specifically for your baby to have JOY! I thought it was so neat because that has been one of the specific things I am praying for my baby girl. It also talked about spiritual gifts and Jimmy and I had some time to discuss the ones we want to pray specifically for our daughter. We decided joyfulness and kindness were the ones we thought best for her. I know God is going to bless her little toes off and do amazing things through her! The devotion also referenced one of the scriptures our pastor read at our wedding, "being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion." How true!
This weekend is my first baby shower. I can't believe it's finally here. I remember thinking when showers start I will know that the baby is coming soon. It still doesn't seem real. Will it ever!?
Jimmy and I have been soaking up "us" time as much as possible. Which includes a lot of dinner dates (I wonder what the scale will say about that... oops) but we are really enjoying these last few weeks together. We went to Maple Grove Days and although it was raining we had a good time listening to a live band. Baby girl went CRAZY! She was kicking so hard. She must have loved the music. :) We also went to a local restaurant and watched fireworks in the back of the car. It was really nice.
This week Jimmy finished another project in the backyard. Our stainless steel appliances also came in and we are so happy with the results.
Moving right along.... only a few short weeks left!
Love,
Kristin
