Pregnancy Progression #2

We get to go on a tour of the hospital tomorrow! I am excited to see where we will be for one of the most exciting times of our life. I put together my pregnancy progression #2. This shows me at weeks 24-32. I am still feeling pretty good! Some people will say how good I look and then others will tell me I look like I'm ready to pop. Interesting. I think maybe sometimes comments should be thought and not said out loud. I am still learning all about cloth diapering. I am trying to make as many notes as I can so that I am not caught off guard with different situations. I'm looking forward to the weekend so that I can visit the fabric store to see what other kind of scrap material I can find so I can start sewing some inserts. I also read today how to make wool dryer balls! Apparently these work SO much better than dryer sheets because they don't cause any build up on fabrics. Learning something new everyday!

Getting Ready!

We are busy busy getting ready for Baby Kaylin. I spent the weekend organizing and putting clothes away. Trent hung the chandelier that my brother got for us. I love love love it. Mom and Dad came over on Sunday and we were able to spend the day with them. Mom gave me my first ever sewing lesson!! I am determined to learn how to sew! I did pretty well for a first timer. I am just afraid I am going to forget everything when I sit down to sew something by myself. Baby steps for now. Kaylin's been kicking like crazy. I ate spicy food for dinner and I wonder if that affects how much she kicks. No heart burn yet, but I'm sure it will come. I can't believe there are only 5 more weekends until my due date. Since I work during the week, that means I have 10 days to get stuff accomplished! Yikes!



My song this week is "Blessed be the Name of the Lord." It is really giving me strength when I get super stressed out and overwhelmed and reminds me to be grateful when everything is perfect in my world.

Blessed Be Your Name
In the land that is plentiful
Where Your streams of abundance flow
Blessed be Your name

Blessed Be Your name
When I'm found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness
Blessed Be Your name

Every blessing You pour out
I'll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name

Blessed be Your name
When the sun's shining down on me
When the world's 'all as it should be'
Blessed be Your name

Blessed be Your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there's pain in the offering
Blessed be Your name

Every blessing You pour out
I'll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name

You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord, blessed be Your name

Craving of the Month

Watermelon!! Cannot get enough. So delicous. I buy a whole watermelon and cut it up. Between TJ and me, it ALL gets eaten. I wish I had some right now!

Only 8 Weeks Left

Hard to believe how fast the months have flown by. We only have 8 weeks left! TJ and I are attending a birthing/newborn class tomorrow night. That kind of makes everything a little bit more real. I've starting washing some stuff. We haven't quite finished the nursery yet. A few final touches and we should be ready to go. Kaylin has been moving like crazy. It's so funny watching my stomach move up and down. Lately, I've been pretty tired, so it is nice to take advantage of lazy weekends. Oscar is more than happy to enjoy these days with me.
