God has given us a sweet baby girl that is growing in me. It is crazy how God designed marriage, women, and our bodies. It is so crazy that as I sit here typing, I feel a little human inside of me, moving around.
This week I start the 3rd trimester of what has physically been a great pregnancy. Praise God! Spiritually, I have struggled through a lot of fears and trusting God. I forget who God is and that our God is a loving God. That this baby is His, and not ours. That He is good. That He loves me deeply. Thankful that He pursues me and reminds me.
I am also thankful for a kind and patient husband! I love that He put Reed and I together and has given us this blessing.

Preparing for this baby to come into the world is a really beautiful thing. I love praying over her, thinking what she will be like, and who God has made her to be.
I also enjoy the physical part, and sometimes get more distracted by that. There are just so many cute nurseries out there, and I want our baby to have the trendiest one. :) I want her to one day say, "Mom, remember that time you brought me home to that beautiful nursery with all the trendy crafts. I loved looking at all the birds, vases, cool curtains, sweet glider, and vintage photos on the wall. It inspired me to be who I am today." .. something like that.
We had our nursery painted this weekend, by a super kind man who lives down the street. He was a reasonable price and we would recommend him! (Reed and I decided to not paint ourselves due to time, fumes, and we just don't like it)
The walls are green and the ceiling is a brown/grey. I'm sure you are thinking what everyone else asks, "Why so dark?" For one, I don't like pink. I never really have. I like darker colors (2 rooms in our house are dark grey). And we plan on brightening it up with pop color accents, right now I am thinking a pastel teal.
We also put together our crib.. which took a while... a long while. Good thing my husband is persistent and brilliant.
This happened.. a lot. |
Done! |
