Just need a place to talk about it...

 

Baby Is The Size Of A BLUEBERRY

 

I'm 7 weeks today! I'm totally overjoyed! 

I thought I would be shouting it from the rooftops, but for some reason this time, I'm not so informative. I've found people are noticing my bump and asking me. Thank goodness the answer is yes. LOL!

We've told some of our close friends. I've told my parents and my SIL. But that's about it. All of which are very excited for us. My SIL is 8 weeks ahead of me. That's always fun. We're tag teaming again. With our sons we were 7 months apart.

There are so many things running through my head this go 'round. I don't want to overwhelm DH or anyone else with all my thoughts. I just need a place to talk about it. 

I can't sleep. I'm exhausted. I'm cramping slightly. My lower back hurts. I've NEVER experienced morning sickness, but this time have had bouts of nausea. My belly is showing more like I'm 4 months (IMHO). I've had these really strange, incredibly vivid dreams. Etc, etc.

Like I said, I'm really happy about this. What a blessing it is! God is AWESOME and never ceases to amaze me.

I just need a place to talk about it. A place to journal my experience without judgement.

She Did What She Could

I found an awesome blog today!
 

Well, actually I found it a while ago, but hadn't had the chance to really give it a good look over. But today, right now, when I should've jumped into the shower, got dressed, woken up my kids and fed them breakfast I read 2 posts. This one in particular has ministered to my spirit.

She Did What She Could

I, too, get so lost and caught up in the "discontent, the guilt, the jealousy, the “you’re not good enough, you don’t do enough”." But today... Today I was reminded that most days I do the very best I can. That because I have turned to the Lord and cried out to Him I am the best wife and mom that I can be. Is there room for improvement? Absolutely. Can I do it alone? Absolutely not. But as I continue to discover who I am in God, I know the best will always be yet to come. There is no maxing out in God.

So here's to TODAY. Not to tomorrow or to the future, just to today.

Cheers!

Miracles and Blessings,

Now it's time to do all that I mentioned above. Not necessarily in that order. Gotta go start my day! And at some point I'd like to get back to Impress Your Kids and post my "What’s something you don’t do?" I'll be sure to post it here as well. Amanda also asked, "Will you rest in “she did what she could” today?" Yes, Amanda, I will. And thank you.

What about you? "Will you rest in "she did what she could" today?"
