26 Weeks...

"Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good. His love endures forever." Psalm 136:1

Well, I have made it to 6 1/2 months. The view is getter closer and closer, yet it still feels far away! I have to say this week has been a rough one!

The pregnancy has been great, but I was a sick puppy for about a week. It all started out as an innocent cold, but quickly manifested into a miserable sinus infection. After a lovely and quiet Thanksgiving with the Wilson's, I started to feel it. Pain, fatigue and all out agony. After a couple of sleepless nights,tears and a husband nursing me back to health with jello and hot rags for my pain-staking face every fifteen minutes, I seemed to overcome it. Man, it was BAD. It also made me sad because I got no family time, Christmas shopping or tree set up done. And with our 3 trees, I need to get on the stick! Oh well, I will have this weekend if we can squeeze it in between basketball and the Cowboys :)

One really cool thing about being sick was getting to spend time with Tristan. I was lying down for almost 72 hours straight and I felt him move constantly. I feel like we got very acquainted throughout the day! He would just roll and kick and punch. I was very aware of his presence. Now that I am back at work, I feel like I am too busy to notice his every move. I have to savor the evening times when I can sit and relax with him. It was very nice to feel him so often!

I got more artwork for the room that was delivered yesterday and it was really cool to finally have that. I also got my glider on Friday!! It is so pretty and comfy! I can't wait to really use it!

Overall, I am so thankful this week! I know I was sick, but I am just feeling so blessed. I have a rocking and rolling week coming up this week with parties and meetings and practices. My #1 event that I am looking forward to is getting to meet my nephew! Colton is due on Sunday and I hope to meet him then if not sooner. We will wait on him until he is ready to come, but I look forward to being an Auntie! It will be such a joyous event!

I'm so glad you are feeling better and it gave me chills the way you said you got to spend time with Triston. That is so special and for a second there I was missing those special pregnancy moments! (but it doesn't make me ready for another child quite yet!).

there is nothing more novel and wonderous than feeling a baby move inside of you. something about it is a constant reminder of the enormity of our Lord and how he creates life!

I'm glad you're feeling better, Nicki! It is pretty amazing how God engineered our bodies nurture and grow the baby He gives us.

I agree with Kim, I miss that!! It still gives me warm fuzzies thinking about it. I love reading your weekly emails! I can just feel your joy, and it's contageous! I can't WAIT for nursery pics!! I'm sure it will be fabulous, knowing your sense of style.

I can't wait to see the nursery either!! Glad you are feeling better. I have never been as stuffed up and sick as I was when I was preggo with my first. I have not been that sick since and that was 10 years ago! You are going to be a terrific mommy.
