Pumpkin is 29 Weeks


 So, things have been really crazy these four weeks and nothing has changed in a major way for me from week to week so I am going to lump these weeks together to make it easier for me!

Symptoms: Been having some pressure in my lower abdomen and pelvic area, nothing major, just annoying. Sometimes he moves or kicks me so low that he feels as if he is just going to come right on out! I asked my mom about this and she said it was completely normal, still so weird.

I am really starting to swell, before now I would swell and could get the swelling to go down but now it pretty much stays

Weight: let's not talk about it...

Cravings: I'm not sure if it's in my mind or what but I am really craving fresh, healthy food. The problem is that it takes so much effort to prepare what I am craving that I usually just refer to junk.

I have had a really bad hankering for grapes and grape juice.

I also have a pretty persistent sweet tooth! 

Aversions: I THINK my chicken and bacon aversion might be gone for good!

Gender: Sweet Boy


Movement: This boy is WILD he moves all the time and is starting to really kick hard! When I lay down at night it seriously feels like he is tap dancing.

Sleep: Some nights are good and some nights are not so good!

Favorite moment during these weeks: Spring game with my family,celebrating my bff during her bachelorette weekend at the beach, celebrating Easter, and watching my best friend get married!


Questions: None this week.

Goals: Make it to week 40!

What I miss: Being small and able to move and bend freely, moving is getting harder and harder!

What I'm looking forward to: Having our last four week appointment and getting closer to meeting our little guy! I am also looking forward to our showers and getting to see all the people I love the most!

Thoughts: I am tired! I have really enjoyed all the celebrations and the fun times but I am tired and ready to slow down a little bit!

Stay On The Thankful Side

One of the ways that the enemy tries to pull me away from Jesus is through anxiety and negativity. I have struggled with anxiety for the greater portion of my life but it really reared its nasty, ugly head when I was pregnant with my son. I was so anxious and depressed that I developed habits that caused me to not recognize myself. I struggled with anxious, intrusive thoughts that continued after he was born. I tried so diligently to recover the woman I was before. I remember talking with precious jewel of a woman who, looking back, has not been constant in my life but God has always placed her with me at such important and formative moments. She spoke with me on a hot summer day about a year after Eli was born about how precious pregnancy and motherhood truly was. I am not good at quoting so forgive me but she spoke words that went something like "this time is such a gift from God and I truly became closer to Him because I was so amazed at what He was doing". I remember bein

General Life Update 2018

So, my life has always been somewhat crazy but the past year to year and a half has been a real whirlwind. In August, before we got married I started attending Graduate School to become a School Psychologist. I was certain that this was the path that I needed to walk down. I loved what I was doing in the beginning, it was fun and exciting and I was getting to really help children. Late in the fall I started to feel overwhelmed. I started the semester working full time as a teacher, driving an hour and a half to school and back three times a week, and trying to be a newlywed. I cut back my hours at work so that I was working only part time thinking it would solve my problems but it didn't. I got sick that Christmas, like I normally do in the winter but somehow it seemed different than normal. The spring semester started off well, I attended a conference in Columbia for free, which was exciting. However, things quickly went downhill I became even more stressed juggling school, wo

I just have to get this out of my head... I just heard the news of the Charleston shooting. I'm deeply saddened by this... the fact that someone would walk into a place of worship and feel the need to take the lives of the people there. What that young man did was horrifying and I could never begin to imagine the pain and suffering those people are going through. Not only should we be praying for those who have lost loved ones or were injured... We also need to pray for the shooter for he fell victim to Satan himself just like many of us do every day. While his sin was more permanent and more devastating, that does not mean that he can't find repentance and mercy in The Lord. I know it is very hard to pray for and love someone who has caused so much pain but as Christians it is our duty. I am so glad that people are willing to offer up prayer in support of those suffering. However, while those people are offering prayer and support for the victims, they are tearing down
