29 weeks!

29 WEEKS
Total Weight Gain: Still Just 8 pounds!

Maternity Clothes? Nope. Hopefully not going to buy anymore for myself and start buying more and more stuff for her room!

Stretch Marks? Not yet although my belly has been extremely itchy! Growth spurt maybe?

Fruit/Veggie Size: The CUTEST Butternut Squash you've ever seen :)

Sleep? I am doing better with sleep. My preggle is a life saver!

Best Moment this Week: David took me to Glendale Glitters! I had so much fun and I even got my beloved caramel apple! We brought along David's younglife guy, Titus, which was a fun addition to the night out! I loved the vendors and even got to drink some yummy hot cocoa. By the end of the night, I was ready to head home but I still had a blast! Thankful for sharing holiday cheer with friends :) 

Miss Anything? I really want to take this question out because the only things I can't do while pregnant is drugs and drink alcohol...I don't miss either of those things because I never used them! Sometimes i forget I'm pregnant because I feel really good and my appetite is that of a hungry grizzly. The beginning of the third trimester is actually smoother than the second! Maybe this will dramatically change in the next few weeks, lol!

Food Cravings: Paradise Bakery Salad, Wildflower Bread company's Potato soup, Chipotle burritos, Pineapple smoothies, carrots and broccoli, any fruit, frosted flakes, and laughing cow cheese! These are all usual things I eat through out the week!

Food Aversions:  I want to punch whoever invented relish or sweet pickles. They make pickles (my favorite) look bad! They are suppose to be sour NOT sweet. Sweet pickles are the worst invention ever!

Symptoms: Itchy belly! This is something that bothers me a lot! Also, I have a "linea negra" now  which is a dark vertical line down the tummy.   

Belly Button: I don't think it will pop out but I do think it's becoming more and more flat!

Happy or Moody? Really happy this week! A lot of patients and visitors at work want to talk to me about my pregnancy which makes me feel special since I'm not used to the attention. I ALWAYS want to talk about my sweet baby :) Lots of friends have been able to feel kicks as well, and it just makes me the happiest girl alive knowing that my baby is growing and healthy. Thank you Jesus for my little bundle of preciousness! 

Nursery Progress: Nothing new here but I am going to start on it this week which excites me so much!

Looking Forward to: Spending Christmas with my family! Cannot wait because we are celebrating with the whole family which is a ton of people! Love the holidays!! Christmas is my favorite. Amen!
I'm just so thankful and humbled by God. He is my peace and comfort in needy times- In this crazy messy world He is my still water. Thank you Jesus for being my constant source of refreshment. Continue to empty me so that I can be filled with YOU.

The meaning of Gracelyn Elida.

When you chose your child’s name, did it have a meaning or did you pick it just because you liked it?             When David and I were talking about names, we were lost! Neither of us knew where to start nor had any picked out before. I always liked the name Christopher. It’s my dad’s name, my brother’s name, my nephew’s middle name and it’s also David’s middle name. It’s a family name and I knew I would pass this name to my child, had it been a boy. We also loved the name Daniel. It’s a strong name for a baby boy, young guy, and an older man. Can you picture a sweet baby named Bill or Ted? Maybe you can, but I sure can’t! Daniel is also a strong biblical character. He was a man of faith! He endured being in the lion’s den and was not harmed because he was brave and faithful.  The name Christopher has the word CHRIST in it. I believe the name Christopher comes from the word Christian, so after all of this the n...

Dear Gracelyn

Dear Gracelyn, Oh my gosh. Where do I even begin?  My baby is one year old today. I can't believe my eyes. 1 year of beautiful life. 1 year that I am the worlds most blessed mom. 1 year of chubby cuddles. 1 year of firsts. 1 year of you.  My heart swells just looking at you and the gorgeous little girl you are. Being your  mom is the most painful, stressful and most rewarding thing I have ever done. You don't understand right now but every time I see you, my life lights up and my heart fills up with joy because you are mine. I have loved watching you grow up to be a happy little girl. You have always been so calm yet wild and I  love that about you. You're also adventurous and strong willed and I can only dream of what those qualities will bring you in life. I pray that your life would be filled with all the riches that our lord has for you. He is the only thing in this life that will never leave you or forsake you. My heart yearns for you to know Jesus and to love a...

7 Months

7 MONTHS Height, Weight, & Head: 28 inches tall, 21 pounds, and 16 inches around the head. Big girl! Clothes:   She is currently getting out of 9 months and moving on to size 12 months.  Mmm, Blueberry waffles! Eating:   We're still letting her "sample" food but she's still loving mommy's milk. She will start kicking and smile when I say, "Are you ready for milkies!?"  I also show her the sign for milk. (Being that her big cousin Saydee is deaf, Gracie will be learning sign language.) She loves pasta and strawberries! She even tried steak from chipotle the other day. There are lots of days where all she does is nurses. I'm not worried about her not eating enough...she is happy and healthy and continues to gain weight.  The camera interrupted her. ;) Sleeping:   She sleeps 8 hours or more every night. We put her down about 8 and she wakes up between 4 and 5. David is usually the one who goes to get her and then...
