Well, 2 trimesters have quickly come and gone, and I find myself 1 week into my 3rd trimester. It's pretty unbelievable that time has gone so FAST. I can't believe that in less than 3 months we will have a baby. To think of being completely responsible for another human is just a little overwhelming!
So far, things are still going smoothly. I can definitely tell a difference in my energy levels these days. I come home from work and just want to collapse on the couch... and some days I do! I have still been going to the gym and trying to stay as active as possible. And if the rate that he kicks me, I'm going to be keeping up with a pretty active kiddo when he gets here!
We got our baby bedding, and it's all put in the crib. It looks so cute! I can't wait to get the rest of the stuff in the nursery! I told Micah the other night that it looks like a baby lives here now! For as unprepared as I often feel, I am so very excited. I can't wait to see what he looks like and to hold him. I know that it will be everything that I've dreamed of, and probably a whole lot that I never really even thought was possible.
I was reading last night in Judges and I came across a verse that really comforted me as I was thinking about how NOT ready I sometimes feel to be a mom. God has just told Gidian to go and fight the Midian's and he has responded with how inadequate he is for the job. This is the Lord's response:
"
The Lord answered, 'I will be with you, and you will strike down all the Mdianites together.'"
So even though I don't feel totally prepared, He is with me. And He will lead and guide me. That's what I'm clinging to!
