Halfway There!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry it has been a little while. I find this moment a great one to be writing as i sit in the stillness of my living room. Listening to the rain on the roof, and having my sweet kitty snuggle next to me. It is a cold cold day here in Texas. Cold for Texans anyway. Its about 42 and pouring rain. Gloomy. But, for some reason, I kind of love it today. Its cozy to put on a sweatshirt and my new leopard print slippers from Target and have those first "smells" of the heater. Anyone else know those smells? We also have enjoyed the wood burning fire place in our living room. Maybe we will tonight! Craig is not home, and I would not dare try to light a fire here without him. ha.

So, tomorrow marks 20 WEEKS! That means I am about halfway there! I have been feeling my little girl kick and move a lot in the past week. She has even nudged Craig's hand a few times! I LOVE feeling her. Its so neat. She was pretty active on Thanksgiving, and I assumed it was from all the goodies. I guess a good Pumpkin cheesecake will do that! :) I have been feeling really good too, which I am always very thankful for. My tummy is stretching and it feels a little hard to me. better than smooshy i guess.
Next week I am going back to the doctor for a follow-up ultrasound. They want to get some closer pictures and better shots of some of the organs. I am pretty excited to see the little peanut move around again.

So, the last few months I have been feeling like EVERYTHING is just a countdown to the next best thing. I am finding it very hard to be content in the every day. First it was coutdown to brit and tina being here, then the big ultrasound, then Thanksgiving break, etc....Now I am counting down the days until we leave for Colorado to see my awesome family. I am very excited about it. I also have the whole week off once we get back home from Colorado, so there is another countdown. I feel like I cant just settle in TODAY, but that the only thing that gets me through today is the BREAK I will get on the weekends, or for Christmas! Anyone else ever feel that? I desire to be content today, but can not find that contentment yet. But, alas, the Lord is my strength. I can NOT make it through a day, good or bad, without Him. That is the reality I need to settle in.

Hope yall are having a great week!!! Thanks for reading. :) Here are a few pictures from Thanksgiving! We were trying to capture the baby bump!
