31 weeks!


31Weeks



Total Weight Gain:  I actually went to the doctor today and I gaineda total of 12 pound so far! I have never seen 140 on the scale before…goodthing it’s all baby!

Maternity Clothes?  I’m doing very well withthe items I have. I love that I still can wear non-maternity shirts as well.

Stretch Marks? Notyet, but there is still plenty of time!

Sleep?  Starting to get prettyuncomfortable. I’m tossing and turning a lot but, still sleeping on my belly.

Best Moment This Week:  The best moment this week was going to the mall withmy parents and David. We got to shop around and just all hang out togetherwhich was nice! David and I even looked at rings! :) hmmm!

Miss Anything?  I miss being able to putmy own shoes on! It is so uncomfortable to bend over with a belly in the way. Iget out of breath so quickly trying to put my warm boots on- tying my shoes isalso a hassle.

Movement?  Tons! My mom and Marc sawa huge movement and even I was shocked because it was very noticeable! She is ahappy girl and even reacts to different sounds! What a blessing she is already!Praise the Lord.

Food Cravings:  Sandwiches again! Thishas always been a huge craving of mine. Fresh, crunchy sandwiches are the best!I’ve also been loving Gold Peaks Sweet Tea- I’ve been drinking that a lot thisweek!

Food Aversions:  The only thing I don’tlike right now is raw meat! I was watching my favorite cooking lady, Giada, andshe was using raw salmon and then added apples to it…um ew! I hate fish!

Symptoms:  I have had 2 braxtonhicks contractions this week. They are weird and I don’t like them, hopefully Iwon’t notice if they happen again! 
Belly Button:  It is funny! When I wasat the doctors, I was lying on my back and when I went to sit up my bellybutton popped out! When I relaxed and sat all the way up, it went back- thatwas so funny and odd to me! Still “in” though!

Happy or Moody?  I am so happy!Christmas is just around the corner and I can’t wait to celebrate with family!!

 
Nursery Progress:  Hernursery is pretty cluttered right now with boxes and stuff but once the cribcomes, I’ll be able to put everything into place!
Looking Forward to:  Wrapping presents and going to the family Christmasparty on Tuesday

Finding Shade in the Desert

A few weeks ago we went camping with David's parents. We had a blast, like always!  There was one day specific when I was trying to either change Gracelyn's diaper or put a sweater on her- I can't remember...honestly, knowing me,  I was probably trying to do both at the same time! Anyway, she was fighting me, pulling away and getting cranky with me but it had to be done. I finally got frustrated and said, "Grace, if only you knew that what I was doing was to help you and not hurt you, you wouldn't fight so much."  Immediately, my mother-in-law chimed in, "...You know, Sarah, how many times does God say that to US daily?" I was struck by those words and I laughed because it is so true. All the time.  Right now, we're going through a new series at church called Walking With God in the Desert. You know, in life we go through some stinky stuff- things that make us tired and exhausted, things that we have no desire to do or go through. Ki...

We are so proud of the little girl you have become and we can't wait to watch you grow up to be so much more. I am so blessed by you, Gracelyn. You have made me a better person all around.  I can't even remember what I used to do for fun. How many hours did I waste watching TV? Everything is much more fun with you around. I am reliving my childhood through your eyes and I have to say- it's one of the greatest experiences ever. One of my absolute favorite things about you is how you try not to smile and your lips press together as you try to hold back. Oh my goodness, EXACTLY like your dad. People say you either look just like him or a mix of both of us. Either way, you are the most beautiful little soul I have ever known. You...
