It’s about two months until the baby should get here! My doctor has me coming in every
two weeks now, so it’s definitely getting close. I feel absolutely huge, but everyone tells me I look great, so at least the rest of the world doesn’t mind. I can tell that Leah has gotten really big in the last couple of weeks. She’s gone from power kicking to just being able to squirm and push her feet against my stomach. If we poke at her, she can’t move away to escape, so we can wake her up and make her move almost whenever we want. But don’t worry, we don’t pick on her unnecessarily. It’s just nice when I think to myself, “I haven’t felt the baby move in a while,” and all I have to do is change positions or jiggle my belly a little to ascertain that she’s still in there.
Chris is buying the paint for the nursery today. It’s going to be a pale sage green and her bedding and decorations are going to be in pink and white. I’m actually drawing pictures for her walls, which is astounding in itself, since I haven’t done any art since Isaiah was born. They’re going to be of big pink daisies. I’ll scan them when they’re finished, for your viewing pleasure.
Isaiah is getting ready for the baby too. We were at church and someone asked him where the baby was. He looked all around for a baby and couldn’t see one. Then we asked, “Where is baby Leah?” His face lit up and with a little grin, he pointed to my belly. He needed us to explain which baby we were talking about.
We had an awesome youth service on Friday! The presence of God was really felt during worship and that set the tone for the whole night. A couple of kids gave/rededicated their lives to the Lord! And a bunch more committed themselves to accomplishing things for God. We are so proud of all of our youth and what we see God doing in their lives! Who knew we’d love youth ministry so much?
