enough love?

Our parents always told us that when we had kids of our own we’d understand why they love us so much and why they do the things they do for us.

Hey mom & dad…I’m starting to get it.

After marrying who I believe to be the greatest man on the planet, I wasn’t sure I’d have enough love inside of me to love anything else. 

It’s amazing how God creates babies, and grows our love for them over time. I’ve never seen her little face. I’ve never held her hand, or touched her. I am patiently (some days not-so-patiently) waiting until the day I get to see her face to face!

How much is that like our relationship with God? We haven’t seen him, or touched him. Yet we talk to him everyday and look so forward to the day we see his face.

As much as I’m not a fan of pregnancy…I’m a fan of this love. I am growing more in love with my baby girl everyday, and more in love with a perfect God who created her and is shaping her everyday inside of me.

Wow. I guess I do have enough love.

A belly full of God’s Grace!!

 

rock & a hard place

We have lived in our Condo in Huntington Beach for 10 months. When we moved in, it was fully furnished, but they were supposed to get their things out in a few weeks. Well…a few weeks turned into a few months. A few months turned into a lot of months.  Yesterday, they finally finished moving out.

We finally have the entire place to ourselves, but now we have to decide what to do. Do we move out in December to find a bigger place, but possibly farther from the beach? Do we stay for another year?

Pros:

-We love where we live!!!
-We live 3 blocks from the beach/downtown HB.
-It’s a really nice place for the price.
-I feel safe there, and would feel safe with Baby Girl & I being alone there when Daddy is at work.

Cons:

-No bathtub, only a huge shower. Could we get a little tub for Baby Girl? She would be about 9 months when we would move next Decemeber.
-It’s a long way to take Jack out.
-Not much room for when guests come to visit.
-I have to pack…when I’m 6 months preggo. Yikes.

I guess a lot comes down to what we find for a good price. Lots to think about. Thanks for listening 🙂

halfway there!!

Well…it’s offical. We made if halfway!  20 WEEKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Baby Girl is the size of a banana.  I still don’t really get the “fruit comparisons”, but whatever.

She is about 10 1/2 ounces and about 10 inches long. Wow…seems huge, but yet so tiny! When we got a glimpse of Baby Girl the other day in our ultrasound, she was wiggling around, opening her mouth, waving her arms. An active little girl we have!! And she is really enjoying kicking mommy now that’s she’s figured that out!

The first half really flew by. Everyone tells me the second half goes really fast, so before I know it I’ll have little Baby Girl in my arms. Wow! I can’t wait! Only 140 days to go!!

I feel like I should throw myself a party today or something!!!! Maybe I will 🙂

i can do it!!

This whole parent thing is SCARY. I’m not gonna lie….I’m a bit freaked out that I will fail and not be good at it.

It’s for this reason that I know I can do this.

I will be a great mom, because I don’t have to do it alone. I’m so incredibly thankful for an amazing man that supports and encourages me. What did I ever do without this guy???

Wow I’m blessed. And this little girl is going to be sooooooooo wrapped around her daddy’s finger. It’s ridiculous.
