Life.

My last post on here was in June 2011.. and it was about the death of my grandfather.  After popular demand that I continue to blog (okay, more like Casey and Erin laughing about it).. this is an attempt to try the blogging thing again.  And to start it off (again) this post is about life!

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!
