Well, here we go!  3.5 months until I’m. a. MOM.  I can’t believe how fast this has gone by!  After eating about 20 variations of Thanksgiving dinners in the past 5 days, I’d say baby grew a bit.  At 25 weeks, I’m feeling for the most part great.  I do have about 2 hours a day of nausea and usually 1 unfortunate day a week of pukey.  But hey, its not bad at ALL compared to those first 4 months!  Baby is also kicking me like crazy.  Legitimate kicks.  Yesterday his Grandma Julie bent down and said hello, and he kicked!  Something funny is that he kicks NON STOP when we travel.  In CA a few weeks ago and this past week in WI.  Over TG, my belly was protruding with little movements from all angles around Grandma Jane and Grandpa Dick! No matter who you are, if you talk to him, he moves- I love it!  I am treasuring this season.  It is quickly going to evolve into an entire new chapter of my life, and I’m just taking it one day at a time. I’m enjoying spending lots of time with my sweet hub talking, reading, praying with him and beginning to take some birthing classes.  Its a precious time to just be still, linger in the quiet moments and wait.  I’ve also been enjoying asking my mom and Nick’s mom all about their labors and deliveries.  Consider me a sponge around experienced mama’s.   There’s so much to do in the next three months, and yet God is gently reminding me to calm my heart in a season that could otherwise be overwhelming without the peace he supplies.

“Be still, and know that I am God.”

Psalm 46:10

Love,

Katie and ???

 (We’re so excited- we have a name chosen for our BOY, but that’s going to be kept a secret until he arrives!)

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
