I seriously LOVE being pregnant! It is the most amazing feeling everyday! I hope I am still saying this in 2 months, when summer in OK is in full swing, and I am off to camps and mission trips! Right now though, this is amazing! Ben definitely felt Lincoln kick last week, and it brought tears to my eyes. During church on Sunday, our pastor was praying, and Lincoln started kicking...I quickly poked Ben and he felt the kicks again:) I woke up today, early as usual, and Lincoln apparently woke up with me. There is nothing sweeter than waking up to his sweet kicks!
The worst part, so far still, has been the back and hip pain, which prevents me from sleeping really well. I used to get so upset when I couldn't sleep, but now I just think, I wouldn't trade sleep for this sweet boy any day!!!
I finally, after painting once already, chose a color, and re-painted the nursery. I LOVE it!!! I am planning on being home tomorrow morning so I can finish painting the closet, trim, and doors. Once all of that is done, I can start hanging his letters, and the verse that my sweet friend Madi is painting for him.
I am truly blessed beyond anything I could have ever hoped for! God has been so good to us! My heart still breaks for so many of my friends and fellow bloggers who are still wanting so badly to be pregnant. I know the pain of each passing month with no results. You see your bank account dwindle and your hope fade. I wish I had words to comfort, but all I know to say is how deeply I hurt with you. It pains me to watch shows like 16 and pregnant, or read about abortion...there are so many women whose greatest desire is to be a mommy, and yet others throw that word around like trash. All I can encourage you to do is rest in the hope and peace that only God can give.
I pray anyone who reads this spends time today fellowshipping with our Heavenly Father!

ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're enjoying it so much and getting so much done. :) I have found this pregnancy that doing some really simple yoga moves (downward dog and child's play) and other similar stretches really help my back and hips feel better. And also, don't feel scared to take normal Tylenol! I waited so long to take it with Joel because I was worried about it, but Dr. L told me it was important I felt well and the meds wouldn't hurt him. It can really help.
