So I would have to say that over the last few weeks, I've started to show alot more! It seems like it happened over night. One day all on my shorts and jeans fit, then the next day almost none of them will zip! I still have a couple of pairs that are working for me, but for the most part its maternity! Its weird to see my body change so much, but I really love it. The fact that my body is growing to accomodate my growing little Isaiah is amazing to me and I feel blessed. Of course I had apprehension the first time I put on my bathing suit, but that didn't last long. I love being pregnant, big belly and all!
We went home this weekend to visit the fam. My sis and some other friends and fam were awesome enough to throw me a baby shower! Fun stuff and again, we are blessed. We're so grateful to those who came and shared in the celebration and who are helping us prepare for Isaiah's arrival! We got lots of things that we needed and some other fun stuff too :)
My sister Cassie is the best!
My family! Most of the girls at least!
They thought the phrase would be especially fitting :)
On Sunday I got to see my friend Allison who is also preggo! She's 20 weeks along and finding out boy or girl tomorrow! I'm so happy we got to see each other and take belly shots together. That was the first and last time we'll see each other during our pregnancies, since we live 900 miles apart. I can't wait to keep up with her little one through skype though!
Little Isaiah is a very active boy. He kicks me all day long, even when I am busy walking around and doing stuff at work, he likes to let me know he's whenever he's awake. I love the feeling.
There is so much preparation to do before our little guy arrives, I'm nervous that we won't get it done. More importantly, in the midst of all this physical preparation I'm afraid that Paul and I are not preparing ourselves for the new task that lies only a few months ahead of us, being godly parents. Please pray that we will focus on what is most important over this summer and that we will allow God to shine through our marriage and through our son. God has given us an enormous task in raising Isaiah in the way he should go. Please pray that we honor Him in this.
Much love,
Joy
