Well hello there sweet thing!  I’ve never had such an in depth first trimester anatomy scan before. It was really cool seeing baby!  Can you believe they are this whole and complete at only 3 months gestation!  Every organ is at least partially formed, the sweet little eyes are hidden under eyelids, the tiny little nose is forming, as well as the mouth and even tiniest little tooth buds!!  Baby looks great!

I still have a fairly significant subchorionic hematoma which is cause for concern, but my doctor is optimistic that things will go well!  Please pray that this resolves itself quickly!

Taking it easy is not my strong point!  I love being active, doing things with the kids, getting outside, etc etc!  That has not consistently happened in two months at this point, and today I can feel it wearing on all of us...especially in my kiddos antsy-ness!  (I half blame the weather, typically I would just send them outside at this point!)

Regardless though, it has been a bit of a blessing being forced to be still. I’ve had no choice but to sit and just WATCH my children and see how they’ve grown. We have snuggled and watched more movies in the last two months than probably the last year and it’s been amazing just bonding. 💗

Am I enough?

       “Am I enough?”   This question plagues my day to day.   Every time I take on some new and daunting task, a series of questions that all come back to this plague my mind.   If I let it, the fear paralyzes me and I stop.   I never move any further.   I have to be willing to accept that I alone am not enough.   It is only then that I am able to move forward.   You see, for me, the truth is ingrained in my faith—I alone am not enough.   I can only get through the (at times seemingly absurd) tasks I have been called to if I trust in Christ to carry me through them.   2nd Corinthians 12: 9-10 tells us "And He has said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.' Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Chri...

Reflections on Praying with Paul

    While I have yet to make it past Chapter four in Praying with Paul (grace and peace, right?), I was challenged even before I finished the preface of the book.   According to D. A. Carson, one of the major problems within the Western Church is prayerlessness.   Ok, great.   I pray daily.   Clearly this doesn’t apply to me.   T he two pitfalls within the Western Christian church are too much activity that doesn’t include prayer and praying without a basis in the scriptures .   OK, maybe I do pray daily, but are my prayers as well thought out as they should be?   Are they too simplistic?   Do I focus too much on my own wants and needs? They aren’t always based in scriptures.   I rarely sit down with the Bible and pray a passage…clearly, I have a lot to learn.       The first action I took to try to improve my prayer life was beginning to create space.   (I write the word beginning , because truthfully, I st...

Working out with kids! #MOMLIFE

Working out with kids. Sometimes it's flawless. Other days it's nutty. Today it was flat out hysterical. I PLANNED to make you all a video of the killer moves in PiYo core. Instead, I gave up on filming just after the warm up. This is more entertaining anyways!  😂 # ENJOY
