27 weeks...

I cannot believe that I am already 27 weeks along! It really has flown by...surprisingly enough! I hear that these last three months are the ones that really drag, but there is still lots to be done to get ready for our little man's arrival, so that is just fine with me! (I say that now...ask me again in July and I may have a different opinion...)

I have really LOVED being pregnant! To be honest, I have felt better pregnant than I have in a long time which is just crazy, but I am beyond thankful to have had such a healthy pregnancy thus far. We did have a scare a few weeks ago when I failed my first blood sugar test, but thankfully I passed the 3-hour test so no gestational diabetes here!

This past week Graham and I went to Destin with my family for the week - it was an incredibly relaxing and fun week of vacation! This was actually our first time to go to the beach together for vacation. We've been for work many times but never for a week of relaxation...it was wonderful. We tried to soak up every moment of freedom knowing that this was really our last trip to do whatever we wanted and not have a little one to care for 24/7. My sweet niece was on the trip with us, though, and it made both Graham and myself SO incredibly excited for when we will be making those same sweet and funny memories with our little man!

I am still completely blown away with the fact that God has blessed us with the responsibility of raising a son. I feel like there is so much "mom-wisdom" that I need to gain within the next three months, but I trust and continue to pray that the Lord will grant us His guidance and wisdom as we raise our son and strive to live as examples for him. I have never been more thankful to be married to an amazing man who loves Jesus Christ above all else, and desires that for his children above all else.

Today, our 6-year old buddy, Sterling Davis, is having his 5th brain surgery....the 6th is scheduled for 7 days from now. If you have read my blog over the past couple of years then you have read much about this amazing little boy. You can read updates on his progress here: http://sterlingdavis.wordpress.com/

Please pray for wisdom for the doctors, strength for Roger and Becca, courage and healing for Sterling, and understanding for Sterling's three little sisters as they walk through these next couple of weeks.

Have a wonderful Tuesday! :)

Beautiful...

Finally...

In just a few minutes I will be going to the airport to pick up this amazing friend coming all the way from LA...


I have been looking forward to her visit for so long and it's finally here! Here's to a fun rest of the week/weekend with friends!
