A New Outlook

So, after the week of being alone, I found that I had more in me than I realized! It went amazingly well, thanks to friends that prayed for me :) I guess God knows you'll need an extra bit of strength. That week did however, show me how capable I was to take care of a whole household when needed, though I would never choose that for the alternative! Justin's help is amazing, and it gave me a whole new appreciation for his presence, in so many ways!

I feel, too, that God has given me a different perspective and attitude with babysitting other people's kiddos and thankful for my own little ones. Every kid is so different and unique! Watching them is getting easier, but I'm thankful for the temporary state that it is. I look forward to when the sun does come out, and take every chance I get for when the rain stops, to go out and enjoy the outdoors with the kiddos. They love playing pretty much anywhere outside!

My pregnancy is doing well. I feel good, overall, but can't help but feel fat :) though, I know there's a reason for it, I don't like the feeling! Thank God that's just temporary too. It's funny how when I'm pregnant I long for a run or a bike ride, but when I'm not, it's the last thing I want to do!! If I was doing that previous to my pregnancy, I probably could do them! But, I wasn't so, can't really just start, at least they say not to.

I had some really cute photos of the boys that I wanted to share. They are so funny! They do amazing new things everyday. Ben is talking a lot and he is my little snuggler :) Eli says the funniest things! He's into being a super hero right now-flying around the house and jumping off of things to save the day! Here are my little goof balls! Justin tied a bandanna on their heads and it was so cute :)


I love our family and I'm so excited to see what this 3rd little one will look like!! We aren't actually going to find out till the baby is born what the sex is! which is so crazy to me, but hey! why not? :) We've got boy clothes for sure and family has girl stuff to hand down, so we're set either way, thankfully!
