week 28

For the record:

~ You have been moving around a ton here lately. Over the past several days, you've been up a little higher than usual. Pushing on the ribs a bit, and making mommy have to lean back to get a good breath.

~ Bending over is much more difficult just in the past week. It hurts, actually. But that's ok, I know it's because you're a growing little boy and getting ready to make your grand entrance into this big ol' world!

~ My sciatic nerve is still apparently being crushed by you. Dr says it might be because my uterus is positioned more to the right side of my body. Even as i sit here now propped up on the couch, my right neg is numb and tingly. I can't walk around a store or anything for more than about 5-10 minutes without my lower right back causing me great agony and my right let going numb.

I'm getting used to the pain, as I realize that life must go on despite the weird, unpleasant feelings, but I'll certainly be glad when I can get back to whatever normal is.

~ I was thinking about you this morning, and how I can't wait to just hold you. I feel all your movements in my belly, and I sometimes wonder if you're trying to get comfortable or if you're playing. I can't wait to watch your every movements, amazed at your beauty!!

~ Craving of the week...SPINACH!!! I made a pasta spinach recipe a few weeks ago, and feel in love with it! This week, I've been trying to just find something good to each with spinach in it. No luck so far, so I have a feeling I'll be making my pasta recipe again! Good news about that is that daddy doesn't like it, so I get to eat it all to myself!!!!

Psalm 119

Mommy was reading in Psalm 119 this morning, and stopped on a verse that talks about loving and delighting in God's commands. So my prayer for you today, as it is for your daddy and me is that you will love God's commands.

I pray you will grow in his love and begin to grasp how wide and deep it is at a young age. I pray your life will be one that gives Him glory. May you always delight in the Lord, taking the narrow path instead of the way of man. May daddy & I always show you His love, leading and guiding you to make the right choices throughout your live.

God is good

Little one,

Today I started this blog for you, because I feel like I'll actually write out my thoughts and prayers to you more on here verses the little I have done in the journal I bought for you.

That's right, I bought a huge journal way back before you were even conceived. I recorded the "adventure" of daddy & I becoming parents, and finding out you were going to be our precious son from God above.

I want this blog to be filled of my prayers for you...so here goes.

Today, I pray for God's protection as you continue to grow in mommy's womb. I pray all of your organs, muscles and every body part has been developed strongly, and continues to strengthen over the next 12 weeks. I love you so much, and I know that God has formed you exactly the way he has had in mind since the beginning of time...He created you.

I looked up your name meaning for the 1st time today and saw that it means "God is good." Oh, how true that is! I'm not exactly sure why daddy & I have not looked at the meaning before this point- I guess just because we liked the name so much, we stuck with it. But I got a huge smile on my face this morning when I saw that. My prayer is that you will see the goodness of God throughout your life. That daddy & I will demonstrate His love and goodness to you everyday.

I love you precious one. I wish I could hold you now as you are squirming around in my belly...but I know you will be here in His perfect timing!
