22 Weeks Pregnant

What an amazing opportunity it is to be carrying a baby perfectly forming in my belly. It has truly been a blessing thus far, and I know that it will only continue. Sure, there have been times that I've been scared, scared, and well, more scared. . .but, God has always been in control. Even in the times that I wasn't aware or allowing myself to believe He was in control, He was. It's easy now, that I feel Levi moving all the time to let myself get caught up in other things. . .like, the nursery - what color will we paint the walls, what bedding will we choose. . .how will we take care of all the things that already are in Levi's room - that need to be put somewhere else?! Where's the trust in all of that? Believing and knowing that it will all come in time. . .and to not worry myself so much about it. Friends at work tell me I'm feeling this way because I'm pregnant - and while that may be true - I am reminded that this little prince in my belly is the most important part of this pregnancy. . .not whether I'll have his room perfect for his arrival, or whether everything will work the way I plan it to. . .but, I'm reminded of the miracle that God has formed. . .growing. . .kicking. . .moving. . .and I'm humbled.

I decided to finally take a picture of me - it was the Friday before I was 22 weeks. . .pretty good depiction of my belly. . .although the shirt is very concealing. . .this growing belly is evidence of God's goodness in our lives and I don't want to let a moment go by that I let myself lose sight of that!
