Hebrews 12:27-29
"The words indicate the removing of what can be shaken—that is, created things—so that what cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe,for our 'God is a consuming fire'."
Another week rolls by! Tristan is becoming very active. Even as I write, he is turning about. I think he knows it is time to write about him and he wants to make sure I do not leave anything out :)
I am getting bigger, but I have been told that my belly has changed forms. It is now sticking out to the front more than hugging me from hip to hip. Every time Brent sees me, he gives me a giggle looking at my bump. I am constantly amazed at the woman's body and how it stretches and morphs the way it does. I think I have probably gained 13 pounds. Seems like a lot to me~especially since from now on you are expected to gain a pound a week! YIKES!! Last Thursday I woke up in the middle of the night screaming for Brent to help me! He asked what I was wrong and I shouted, "CHARLIE HORSE"! Oh the pain. Terrible. Brent massaged it out for me. I have also begun to experience the joys of indigestion. Not fun at all. Brent and I also can now consume 2 gallons of milk in 4 days. No joke. Milk is my obsession. I am addicted to it!!
I have already ordered the bedding and the crib. I cannot wait to receive it. These days, there is so much stuff you can buy--you can easily get out of hand $$ wise. We have so many more options than our parents did when we were born! Probably would be good for the ol' wallet if it was still that way! Needless to say, it is fun to dream about it all. I always walk thru Tristan's room and pray over it. There is something comforting about getting it prepared in such a way. Still, somehow it does not seem real.
Our friend's Benjie and Kimberly had their baby on Friday. Creighton is a handsome little man! I have to add that Brent will not hold the baby. I am mildly concerned with this behavior. Besides that, it gets me so excited to think Tristan will have a buddy so close in age...it is so strange to think of that phase of our life beginning. Family and friend vacations and sleepovers. I just can barely comprehend it all!

About Me
- Nicki W.
- I am first and foremost, a woman who LOVES the Lord. Not far behind are my loves for my oh-so-hot and delightful husband and my two amazing and beautiful little muffin children! Since I am a professional at neglecting all things housework, I have recently decided that I have enough time on my hands to devote to writing {another love} 3 blogs! My love for fitness and my friends spurred The Cardio Junkies which is a fun little {hopefully} motivational read. I have another love too. Throwing parties. Hence, my third blog, A Small Town Soiree, meant to showcase all of my friends and my obsession with throwing fabulous parties...even in our mid-size town! Hope you enjoy!

Oh how fun, Nicki! Feeling him move, watching your body change, decorating his room...is it becoming more real or what? I am so excited for you! Where did you order his bedding? What did you pick? Knowing your style, he is going to have one cute room!
I so know what you mean about milk. It has been one of my only "cravings" through both of my pregnancies. Oh, and tums are my very best friend right now! :) I'm so jealous you've already ordered your furniture and bedding! This baby will be in a packnplay for the beginning, since Carson will still be in his crib for at least a few months. I'm still not sure how that will all work out! I want to see pics of the room when you start getting it together! I can't wait until our house is finished so I can start my "nesting!" :) Oh, and don't worry about Brent not holding the baby, Cary was totally that way, and constantly wanted to hold and hang out with Carson - still does. I think some guys have a fear of breaking someone elses baby, but when it's their own, they feel more capable.
I love that we are nearly in the same place in our pregnancies, because I can so relate to your posts! It's fun to have someone else feeling and thinking the same things. :)
Okay...sorry...talk about the comment that turned into an entire blog ;)
L,
i ordered my bedding from www.kellysightsell.com
my pattern is fly fishing! it is really sweet and boy-ish. brent was freaking out that i would ruin our child if it was too girly.
M,
i heart milk so much!! i always have, but it has become ridiculous! i have calcium deposits on my fingernails i drink so much! lol
brent does not want to "break" the fragile baby. i know it is a fear of some men, but you have to suck it up!! he is afraid of those little things!! it's really funny!
i am so glad to be preggo together too--feels like you are here! so fun!
Fly fishing! I love it! I hear you on staying away from the girly things...Adam already jokes about that and we aren't even pregnant! Can't wait to see pics of the nursery one day!
You're good to drink just milk. I had to have a bowl of ice cream and/or cereal every night! I'm glad he's moving so much for you. That's the best and what I miss the most!
Oh how I don't miss the Charlie horses in the middle of the night! I never understood why that was happening!?
I love how you mentioned there is something special about preparing his room for him. There really is-even if you don't spend a dime. Its the time you invest dreaming of how special he will be that makes your heart race with anticipation.
I can't wait to see how it turns out! And remember the old Milk slogan- "Milk does a body good!" I can't help but say "Pass it on" after it, too. You may not get it if you don't remember the slogan but I'm sure all that milk is helping his bones become strong!
I get those Charlie Horses too...not fun at all! I am also a big milk drinker with Harry! Have you tried papaya enzymes to help with heart burn? They don't taste near as bad as tums and they are organic. Just a thought! I can't wait to go look at your bedding!
