25 weeks! God's timing is perfect!

I've just been busy growing a baby! I had the glucose tolerance test yesterday and felt yucky the rest of the day. I didn't go to Bible study because of how yucky I felt and I was pretty bummed about that. We were supposed to read Luke 1-10 this week. I was reading it and in the first chapter I was absolutely floored! I am currently in my sixth month and all the time I am reminded that God's timing is perfect. Check out these verses that I came across

"And this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren. For with God nothing shall be impossible" Luke 1:36b-37

I got goose bumps reading that. God is so good, not only did He bless with this amazing gift but He reminds me of His love continually! After struggling for 15 months to get pregnant with no meds working and having PCOS confirmed for a third time and being tested for premature menopause and and having xray solution shot up inside of me and then prayerfully deciding to stop trying to get pregnant and start trying to build our family another way, it feels so unreal to actually be experiencing pregnancy.

Tonight I am going to the Women's Bible Study Christmas Party and this is the gift that I am bringing for the exchange. The nail polish is Essie "Rasberry" and I am totally in love with the shade and may go get myself some for the summer! Getting together "beauty supplies" made me think of another verse.

" Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised"
Proverbs 31:30

It can be so hard to remember that. Truthfully, I don't know if I have ever felt prettier than now, being pregnant. I think that waiting on the Lord and receiving His blessing just makes me feel beautiful from the inside out... okay now I am just talking.... How about some more pictures?

I have been working on some more of Adelaide's things.


Her closet is slowly coming together. You can see one of her vintage dresses hanging in the closet! (Almost all of the stains came out of the dresses) You can also see her elephant mobile that I need to get the attacher-thing to attach it to her crib.
I finished her bed skirt and put her "library" bucket and toy bucket under the crib.
This is the next space that needs TLC. Mitch has offered to sand and paint the dresser and then I need to turn it into a diaper changing station. I also need to clear out some other stuff and I think that I am going to add little rosette flowers to the lampshade to cute it up a bit! On the ground, to the left of the dresser, is a quilt that belonged to my great grandmother that I need to sew some new patches onto. I am hoping to use it on Adelaide's big girl bed, when that time comes.
I have cleared out a lot of junk around the glider. We still need to move a side table in there and put a lamp on it.
It is coming along, slowly but surely. I still need to put stuff up on the wall.

What do you think?

  2. Thanks Becca! I am having a blast. Lately, I've had this fear that she is going to come out a boy and that I will have to start from scratch. :)
