With Baby Sutter’s due date 3 weeks away, it’s time to tie up loose ends around here… Keep the 3 of us in your prayers, that we would “not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant [...]

routines and minor wonders.

“Soraya and I settled into the routines–and minor wonders–of married life.  We shared toothbrushes and socks, passed each other the morning paper. She slept on the right side of the bed, I preferred the left. She liked fluffy pillows, I liked the hard ones. She ate her cereal dry, like a snack, and chased it [...]

for there is no other way.

The other night I was made aware of a situation that got me really upset. There seemed to be so much that was obviously wrong and my initial reaction was to act less than ladylike, less than christian.  I so desperately wanted to take matters into my hand. To execute “justice” on my terms. I [...]

eighteen weeks and counting…

18. Whole weeks. Belly grows. Clothes grow…snug. The appetite grows. I’m thankful that the baby keeps growing – According to thebump.com, Butter is now the size of a sweet potato. And as the reality of being a parent grows – prayers grow longer. A line from a conversation with a friend immediately following church on [...]

I am really loving being pregnant during Christmas time. It has me thinking more and more about the Christmas story and I feel like the Holy Spirit is showing me things that I never really thought about…and I am loving it. My prayer this week for Baby Sutter comes from a song that is not [...]

16 weeks.

Yesterday Sam and I went to our 16 week appointment with our OB. It was one of the quickest trips to that office – pretty much just a weigh in and belly check. We did get to listen to little Butter’s heartbeat which was beating at a healthy rate. On our way out I made [...]

week 15.

15 whole weeks-that means in 5 weeks, I’ll be halfway through this pregnancy, and in 1 week – I’ll have my 16 week appointment with my OB–shouldn’t be too exciting, just a weigh-in, but I’m hoping I’ll convince the kind doctor to do another sonogram. I am still feeling great, and am so thankful. Tonight [...]
