Baby's coming

I like to think of myself as a pretty even-keel kind of person. I don't freak out about much, nor do I like to be a drama queen, nor care to be around them (again this is what I tell myself, and I'm only basing my analysis off of my interpretation and my husband's feedback), so it was a little crazy when I had my anxiety-driven "THE BABY IS COMING!" freak out moment a few weeks ago. Granted I do have a higher probability of pre-term labor due to my own anatomical issues, but I'm still at least a couple months away. My adoring husband calmed me down after the doctor's appointment that pushed me to the edge, and after some much needed "nesting" this past weekend, I am feeling much more relaxed. I am truly thankful for my hubby. He is my better half without a doubt.
Yeah right that's me now... try at 15 weeks when I finally didn't look like I just had a beer belly!
Now this was two weeks ago at 27 weeks.... I don't seem to be slowing down the growth process by any means!
My sister and mom put on a great baby shower for me this past weekend. It was so much fun! Most of the attendees were my mom's fun neighborhood friends. She's pretty popular, and they were not afraid to attend right after a tennis match- hence the gal in the front row.
Allie came in from NC too. I don't know anyone better to put together a party than these ladies. It was really amazing! I'm sure they could start a business!
Some of my Bible study ladies attended too. I love each one of these precious women.
One of my best friend in the world, Kyra, wasn't able to attend any wedding events for me, so she wants multiple invites to showers. :)  It's beyond fun to be pregnant with her. She's 6 weeks ahead of me, but sadly we look the same!
My sister really knows how to be the hostess, and she doesn't mind running as the gameshow host. Her mother and son look so proud!
None of the women in my family are teachers, so I wonder where I get it from? Like mother, like daughters.
I'm so excited that so many want to shower this baby with love. We continue to pray for Smith Baby's arrival, and hopefully still have a couple months to prepare! :)
Thanks for an amazing shower Nick and Mom! Love y'all so much!

Hard waves

Heartache and hard times seem to come like heat: in waves. Right now, I feel I have escaped the wave. I feel a sense of respite and relief. My world doesn't seem to be hanging in the balance of the next uncertainty. However, I feel the wave around me in the lives of others. It feels as if I'm sitting in the middle of my sweet autumn breeze while I'm hearing story after story of diagnosis, loss, and turmoil. Once upon a time, I would anxiously pray and wonder when my time of turmoil would next hit, but I've had my share of storms since then. Now I can praise God in good times, knowing the hard will come again. Instead of living in fear, I feel assurance that I will again experience respite and joy, and one day all my sorrows will cease when I leave this body. There's no sense in trying to avoid waves; if you have someone bigger, who created the oceans, then you can live at a level of ease no matter your circumstances. When I hear of these hurts, my heart hurts too, b...

Confessions

I have had so many people thank me for my honesty on this blog lately. I haven't really thought about my level of truthfulness until those remarks of gratitude were given. I think I naturally wear my heart on my sleeve, and thanks to my upbringing, I often hear the term TMI, which just means I'm obviously not scared to express myself. However, I also believe that when you are going through something difficult, it's much easier to be raw and real in front of others, even complete strangers. Often times, it is these "real" moments that bridge the gap between hearts and allow us to live truth. I must confess, this marathon is really all over the place. It's like I hit mile 7, and I can't believe I'm only at mile 7! This past weekend, I felt covered in prayer, peace, and love. Matthew and I enjoyed a much needed date night, our little Levi enjoyed a quiet and restful weekend, and our big boy had a blast at our neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt.  I really ju...

Influenced

influence....... influenced. The latter word signifies a condition where someone else has an effect on your life. Taking off one little letter seems to insight a condition where you are the one acting upon the lives of others. I wish I could claim that I am rarely influenced by the opinions of others, but sadly that is not the case. If it does not go against my beliefs, principles, or well-being, I am one of those people that can easily jump on a bandwagon if presented with the material in an intelligent and legitimate manner. For that reason, I stay away from most things that can have a potential momentary or negative influence on my life. Unfortunately when it comes to little Levi, there are many different people taking care of him, and there are many different opinions regarding his current and future condition. For some reason, since the day Levi was born though, I have not searched the internet for a single thing regarding his care or condition. I believe God has protected me fro...
