Moving right along...


I hope this picture isn't too scandalous for anyone, this was my belly last month. I'll get an updated one up soon...the doctor says its all baby, which is just what I was afraid of, he's big!
Today I had my 7 month doctors appointment. I am actually about 29 weeks but they won't change the due date, oh well. I guess he'll come when he comes anyway and it doesn't really matter, except I know I have been pregnant all these weeks and its been a tad difficult. I weigh 141 pounds! Yikes, I have never been close to that in my life, no wonder my back hurts like crazy. Three more months sounds like an eternity.


Anyway, everything is normal, my weight, my belly size, my pee:-), my blood pressure. I got a Rho Gam shot in my butt so now that's sore too, but I am glad to know my pain has nothing to do with an unhealthy baby. God has really blessed us. Even despite the car problems and my work schedule and Chris not getting enough part time hours, its not for me to worry about. I can only do what is right in front of me and I let God handle the rest.


In February we have a trip to Atlanta planned and then an anniversary trip at the end of the month. March-I have my sister's birthday, mine and two baby showers apparently. And then April comes and so does little squirt, so I am not going to sit around waiting for the big day, I have stuff to look forward to in the meantime.


I have been studying html, I am working on my portfolio, I have been cleaning, organizing and rearranging. Speaking of which, I have plenty more of it to do today. Its been good to make my brain work and give it a challenge. I have needed some mental stimulation for a while now. Let's just hope it pays off in the right ways:-).


I guess other than that I am unsure of everything, its a very weird time in my life, knowing everything will change and not knowing how God is going to work in all of it. Yesterday at church Essen preached on Pro-Life, Pro-Justice, Pro-Gospel, Pro-Love....I can't explain it all but foster parenting was basically put on my heart in a big way. I am not sure about it, it may not be the right thing at all for us but we are trying to be open to God's calling to us and the scarier it is the more I try to perk up and pay attention, the more I try to be faithful and see where God is leading. I know He has some awesome things and He keeps telling me its going to take a while and I need to be patient. So I am. I am being patient and diligent and my little mind is going wild with possibilities. I wish I had more to talk about but really God is keeping things way low key, and I am just going with it.
