2 DAYS

really less!!!!  Becaue you think, my appointment is at 0830 on Thursday.  So really its like 36ish hours!  So so so ready.  And 3ish days till the party and all my sweet family is here.  I don't know if I am more excited about sharing the gender with them or them just being here.  We are in full party planning swing, with house cleaning, organizing, grocery shopping, decorating. And the last big thing can't happen till Thursday evening after we finally know.

(yes I am this OCD with preset table with markers saying what goes where)

Let me show you the what I now call "baby closet".

Isn't that the best site you have ever seen.  It makes my heart so happy.  Everyday I am feeling more and more blessed to have been chosen to be this little ones momma.  I am praying daily for God to prepare my heart to be the mother he has called me to be.  Prepare me to raise this precious child in HIS image and with such a strong knowledge of HIS will. It has also definitely been my prayer for the Lord to just prepare my heart to be a wife with a child.  That I do not let my marriage slip away, that I remember that covenant as well.

I have been doing some serious maternity/dressing while pregnant research.  I love clothes!  And this whole process of dressing with a bump, has been discouraging and frustrating.  I am in super save money mode, so buying maternity clothes just seems like so much of a waste of money (because they are so darn expensive).  I was hoping to use a lot of my clothes during this time before the belly really started to grow.  But I am finding it to be a challenge.  I have also been looking at non-maternity clothes for things that I can wear through the pregnancy and hopefully afterwards as well.  So I found some blogs to scour through to give me some inspiration.  Now its time to get creative!  Plus let me just throw this out there, if you have left over maternity clothes or clothes that are too big that you can't wear anymore, please feel free to pass them along!

One last thing, I wanted to share this with you today.  We have "reflections" before each meeting at work and today a lady presented the thought of peace.  And one point she brought up was that worry is actually an action of mistrust of God.  Saying maybe my problems are too big for Him.  I have heard this lesson before.  But as I have a daily worry of something happening to this sweet lil nugget, I remember that He is bigger than my worries, he wants my worries at His feet.
Have a blessed day!
