28 weeks

On Sunday I will hit the third trimester of my pregnancy. The time has flown by. I feel good and am enjoying feeling my baby move around inside me. I had a thought the other night while lying in bed. I was thinking about the list of things we need to do in preparation for this sweet one to join us. It hit me that time is running short. I started to wonder about this baby and what he had done in preparation for his earthly life. What were his feelings/thoughts about coming to earth and joining our family? How long has the wait been? Did he feel impatient or anxious about coming? Was he excited to be part of our family?

A few months ago Trev gave me a blessing concerning this pregnancy and counseled me that if ever I feel overwhelmed or nervous about having another little one so soon to recall back to the peaceful feeling that comes when we hold our little ones in our arms for the first time. I'm not sure if there is a sweeter image than that. I have done this often and can't help but be filled with peace. I am excited to meet my little guy. I love him already.


Here is my pathetic attempt of getting a decent shot of the baby bump. Little bluryy and not the greatest. It was the best I could get by myself.



I can't believe I still have 12 weeks of growing.

You are tiny! Wish I looked that small. I forgot that we are only a few days apart! fun! Perhaps our kids are fighting about who gets to come first. :)...just like Saturday's warrior. ha ha.

Yeah- you are tiny... and I think I am what? two weeks ahead of you and ginormous. I feel the same way. Slightly overwhelmed at the thought of another one, but so excited to hold her and just enjoy that new baby fresh from heaven.

I just have to say that you are way too cute while prego. good luck with these next 12 weeks. I don't know you well but I know that you are on the list of women who could handle three small boys. You are amazing woman!

You look like you're MAYBE 16 weeks!!!! I can not believe it! But I remember when you were preggo with Zach and we were visiting teaching partners I couldn't believe how small you stayed then either. You look GREAT!!!
