she’s getting on my nerves!

12 11 2009

Already. My daughter is only 5 months old in my womb, and already she’s on my nerves.

Ok, Ok…I’m not a bad mother. I LOVE this little growing baby to death. But she is LITERALLY on my nerve. My sciatic nerve to be exact.

IT HURTS.

Several times this week I’ve almost fallen because I lost all feeling in my leg due to the pain. Ouch.

sciatic

I will be very excited for my sweet baby girl to no longer be inside of me putting pressure on my poor little body. Amazing how something that only weights 1 pound right now can make me hurt so bad!

For those of you that say pregnancy is wonderful and the best you’ve ever felt in your life…I hate you. Seriously, you are not my favorite people right now.

For those of you that have suffered with this, what did you do to help relieve the pain? I’ll try anything!

Oh the positive side of things….

4 MONTHS FROM TODAY IS MY DUE DATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

using your gifts

11 11 2009

God has given each of us unique gifts. Sometimes I worry that I’m not using mine to the best of my ability. Do I sink into what is “easy” for me, and not step up and use what He’s given me? The great thing is, He gives everyone different types of gifts to use in different ways.  Thankfully we don’t all have the gift of teaching (ok…at least I don’t!). Thankfully we don’t all have the gift of serving or prophecy.  I think it would get a little crazy if we did! gift

I’ve been thinking about how my life is about to drastically change and how my role is about to change. I’m praying that God will continue to use my strengths He’s given me and open doors for me to use those gifts. As well as being a great mom and focusing on my family. Not always an easy task in our busy world, but I figure it’s what HE has called me to do and put in me and it would be a waste to ignore that!!

My top 3 Spiritual Gifts: Mercy, Serving & Administration

I encourage you to pray about what your gift are and seek God on how you can use them. Or you can go here and take a quick test to figure out what they are!

I’d love to hear your feedback.

  • What are your spiritual gifts, and what are some ways you are currently use them or would like to use them better?
  •  If you’re a busy mom/pastor’s wife, how do you find ways to still use the gifts God has given you and focus on your family?

thankful for hormones.

9 11 2009

Pregnancy sucks.

Can I get an AMEN? Ok…at least it’s been bad for me. BUT thankfully, the Lord knew how tough it was going to be and gave me wonderful friends to suffer with :)

MEET TODD & WENDY:

Todd & Wendy

Two of our very best friends in the entire world. They are just one week behind us, and actually have their c-section scheduled on our due date! Our babies could come on the same day. How fun would that be?? And Wendy…if your baby boy arrives before our baby girl, I’ll be very very angry. For the sake of our friendship…they better come at the same time or ME FIRST!! ;)

MEET JOSH & JENNY: 

jenny & josh

Jenny is practically a sister to Brook. They were raised together and their families are BFF. Thankfully upon marrying into Brook’s crazy (yet wonderful!) family I got some amazing sisters/friends. Jenny is one of those and I love her so very much! They are due on May 18th!! I can’t wait for our babies to grow up together as we drag them on our adventures all over the place!

The bummer part is that these amazing friends live about 1500 miles away from us. Sad day. However, I’m so thankful to have them. Nothing beats another woman with hormones as insane as yours to help you through.

And I’m so thankful for one amazing woman who understands. I had a loooong, hard weekend and my dear friend Andrea packed up a yummy meal and delivered it to us last night. The last thing I feel like doing is dragging my preggo, tired body into the kitchen to cook. It was amazing to have a wonderful home cooked meal. With our families so far away, I’m thankful for our church family who is willing to help out in a time of need. (Andrea…I think it’s about time for you to have another little friend for our Baby Girl!)

Thank you Lord for giving me these people! We all know I couldn’t do this thing alone. I’m sure my husband would like a vacation from the craziness that is my pregnant-self!

Bring on the babies!

A HUGE THANKS…. To my amazing in-laws for this gift to us. We are so thankful for parents that are so supportive of us and want to invest so much in their precious grand daughter!! Grandmother & Grandfather James…thank you, thank you, thank you! (You better come up with some cute names soon for yourselves or that’s gonna be it! I think it’s fitting right??)
