So here we are again- another attempt to being consistent in writing.
As you may have seen, we are in deed with child again! If you've talked to me in the past year and asked me when we were planning to have more kiddos.. my answer was either never or in 5 years. My response to that question was from a place of exhaustion because as I've said before the Lord blessed us abundantly when making our little boy. So yes, this little love child is quite the surprise blessing that we are so anxious to meet.
We currently stand at 16 weeks and have had a pretty easy pregnancy thus far. Mild sickness especially in comparison to the first. A little less energy but that may be attributed to chasing the 2 year old around. It has flown by so far. I'm excited to be pregnant during the fall/winter since last time it was mostly spring and summer and HOT! You're probably never more aware of the temperature then when you are pregnant no matter how far along you are. When you are making a human it seems your body temperature is like a million degrees hotter. So, thanks Alabama.
We just got back from Disney World and it was SO much fun. The walking was killer on the feet- but I could walk all day to watch that boy's face light up. I'm so glad we were able to go this year and cherish our family of 3. We have the greatest extended family (really on both sides) and were overjoyed to spend time with alot of our cousins at Mickey's house. Definitely not a trip to go on without help, so very grateful for the all the hands on deck.
I'm hoping to be more consistent in writing, especially because I have loved so much looking back at all my old blog posts to compare. It may not be all baby all the time, as we have a lot of life happening right now that I would love to share. But for some reason I feel more compelled to write when pregnant.
The next big question is... BOY or GIRL? We already had a sneak peek to check but we will announce after the anatomy scan in October.
Very excited for our growing family. For a very long time I prayed that God would bless us without "trying" and while the timing wasn't exactly what we had planned, we are so overwhelmed by the opportunity to grow new life again. We cannot wait to see Levi as a sibling and he already checks on baby multiple times throughout the day. He loves hugging my belly and lifting my shirt to say "Hey!" with his cute little wave. This pregnancy has really made me appreciate my alone time with Levi and I'm so glad I get to spend my days with him playing in the dirt, swinging, and making important memories.
Thanks so much for all the love- it has been a fun secret to share.
Thought the verse of the day was pretty appropriate. "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." Psalm 139: 13-14
I am reminded daily of His wonderful works.
