Week 15

We are now 15 weeks and 1 day pregnant!  This week's verse from my book is in 1 Corinthians 10:31-"So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God." This week's prayer for our baby is this:


Lord, my little one's digestive glands are completely formed now. Oh, how I pray that every organ and gland continues to work perfectly.  I so want my baby to have a healthy body, to eat healthy foods, to use nutrients efficiently, and to smoothly get rid of waste his/her body doesn't need.
Lord, you have provided us with so many delicious natural foods. I thank you for fresh fruits and vegetables, wholesome grains, and refreshing water to quench our thirst.  I pray that our child will take his his/her health seriously, and that he'll be a good steward of the only body he/she will ever have.  Help him to see food as something to be enjoyed, but more importantly, as a source of strength and nourishment. Help him/her to seek out the kinds of food that give him the energy he needs to live up to his/ her fullest potential.
In Jesus Name, Amen.

So, I really think this is a tough one for me because I love to eat, especially junk food.  I have been struggling with weight since my freshman 15 and then more after high school all because I give into to just junk, all the time. I admit, it's been super hard even while I have a precious little one in me to just not even think about what I'm putting in my mouth because, I use the excuse to convince myself well your pregnant and that's what the baby is craving.  So, the goal this week is to walk at least 15 to 30 minutes 5 days this week and to watch my intake of junk this week. I want to be the example I need to be for our baby and it starts now! News this week: We go for our check up Wednesday at 1:10 p.m. hopefully we will be able to schedule our appointment to find out what we're having! Thanks for all the prayers and votes! The boy is winning! (that's my pick is boy)  Matt is still all for girl : )  Hope everyone has a blessed week!

Second Trimester-We're 14 weeks!

We are now in our second trimester! Morning sickness has slown down alot! A big blessing!  One funny fact about the baby from my book-the baby is the size of a Jumbo Shrimp :) Also, the baby's gender will be developed this week! So Matt and I have been so anxious and excited about finding out what the baby is.   Hopefully, we find out in about 2 weeks or so. I wanted to share a part from my book I found -Praying for your baby's development. It gives you some specific things you can pray for your baby that week, and the baby's development. I think it's just so amazing God's knows all the anxieties, worries, and excitement we have. The prayer for our week fourteen is pretty awesome, I mean every week has been, but this hits the spot :) So here's what we're praying for this week for our baby development this week:

            Lord, my baby's gender will appear this week. Boy or Girl?-one of pregnancy's most exciting questions. You chose our gender before the beginning of time, and our gender defines so much of life for us. It's an honor to be a woman, and has never been as evident as now, when I'm with child. I pray if I'm carrying a boy may he embrace his masculinity and seek to become a strong but gentle man who brings honor and glory to his Savior. If my baby is a girl, may she rejoice in her womanhood and see it not as a burden or a weakness, but as a blessing and a joy. I will be thrilled with either one, Lord. Help me lovingly encourage them to be exactly who you created them to be.
 In Jesus name, Amen.

I will try to post more of these posts with our prayers for our baby each week. It's exciting to know that God knows and He's know from the beginning, and has such an amazing plan for our little one. That's all the news from us now. Doctors appointment September 22nd! Don't forget to put your vote what you think we're having!

Love,

Baby On The Way!

Dear Family and Friends,


We decided that since we have a new addition to our family on the way we would keep you updated with this blog! I'm not making any promises of to how often : ) If you already don't know which I'm pretty sure that Matt and I have shouted it from the roof tops-We're having a Baby! God has blessed us with this amazing miracle!  We have prayed and asked God for His timing and He blessed us with the wonderful news in July. I am now officially 12wks & 6 days ! I can say that it looks like the morning sickness is slowly fading away-thank you Lord!  Matthew has been nothing but wonderful! I feel so truly blessed for God to have placed such a Godly man in my life that takes such good care of us : )  He's going to be an awesome dad! Our precious little bundle is due March 12, 2011. We find out what he/she is in the next month or two. So don't worry we'll be sure to let everyone know!  We have thrown around a few names here and there. If it's a boy (which I have a feeling it is) we like the names Zachary Wayne or Josiah Wayne.  If it's a girl(which I think Matthew is hoping for) we like the names Addison Grace, Phoebe Grace, or Sophie Grace.  Those are just a few but they are at the top of the lists. I'm sure it will change lots more when we find out what we're having. So of course if you have any suggestions for us we'd love to hear them-Aidan our nephew has already named it of course he calls the baby Bingo : )  Then another nickname the baby already has is cuddlebug-thanks to mom. We are so excited about this new chapter in our life and what God has in store. We are excited to share with our family and friends also!  Thank you for all your prayers and ask for continued prayers!
