Today I woke up with a smile on my face! For the first time I took a step back and LOOKED from the outside looking in at my life. Luke had his normal morning hiccups and body rolls from left to right in my belly, Lilly gave me her normal wet kisses and her head on my chest, my husband left the house with a typical long kiss on the forehead and a sweet "I Love You", the sheets and comforter smelled like sweet fabric softener, and the sun was peaking through the window.... - all of which I never realized how truly lucky I was to have... I closed my eyes and the Lord humbled me at that moment - reminding me that even though I am not a millionaire, I am not a supermodel, that I am not a genius - I have riches far beyond what I deserve.
With all that being said, today's mood is a day of feeling humbled... - and of course blessed.
When I got in the car, Kirk Franklin was on.... and I smiled again.... "......Love a word that comes and goes, But few people really know, What it means to really love somebody, Love, though the tears may fade away, I'm so glad your love will stay, Cause I love you , And you show me, Jesus, What it really means to love..."

ALMOST 35 weeks!
Wow, I have let 5 weeks go by and NO BLOG! I am so sorry to all my friends and family who read this! LOL I update my Facebook with random thoughts, but I don't really ever DETAIL what's going on right now in my body :)
So, here we are at 35 weeks and I feel like I'm physically ready for Luke to be here.. I have made a top 10 reasons why I am ready to NOT be pregnant! lol
10. So I can have my core strength back, instead of wobbling around I can actually use my abs again!
9. So I can stand up and not feel like my hip bones just popped out of place, (loosening ligaments)
8. So I can put on my socks without contorting my body uncomfortably (laying on the bed with feet in air)!
7. So I can drink a glass of water and NOT run to the restroom every 15 minutes later.
6. So I can go jogging and not get winded after 2.3 seconds.
5. So I can eat skittles and starbursts again (Dr. told me to cut back the carbs)
4. So I can see my ankle bones, instead of my extended calfs (cankles)
3. So I can fit in my tennis shoes (feet are too swollen)
2. So I can SLEEP ON MY STOMACH!
AND THE NUMBER ONE REASON I CAN'T WAIT TO HAVE LUKE IS SO THAT I CAN....
1. Hold my baby boy, touch him cheek to cheek and tell him he was worth every single annoyance that mommy had to go through :)
I promise to post more later this week :) I took maternity photos this week they are on facebook! :) we had a great time and I KNOW that I have the best husband ever, because he never complains, he never tells me to stop complaining, he LISTENS to me ! I know that he is going to be THE BEST DADDY LUKE COULD EVER HAVE :)
