Pregnancy Stuff...27 Weeks

Well I am in the last week of my second trimester.  Almost to the home stretch.

So kinda funny.....I wanted a photo I could compare pregnancies at 27ish weeks so I found a photo of myself pregnant with Haley:  And I have to be real honest, I am not a fan of orange and I think the only two articles of orange clothing I have ever owned are picture below--this was totally not planned, but after comparing the photos I realized both photos I am wearing orange while standing in the kitchen.  I just want to assure you that I did not put that much thought into it.  It was a last minute, "Oh hey, I actually have my hair down and I am not wearing spandex, let's take a pregnant picture."

Side note, the above jeans were not maternity jeans.  At this point, with baby no 2, I couldn't even think of wearing my regular jeans. 

My $12.99 dress.  Love a good deal.
So there you have it.  

Things have been going well.  I have gotten the green light for a "regular" delivery now that the placenta has grown away from the exit, so that should no longer be an issue.  The last ultrasound showed that we are completely breech right now, but that is not even a worry yet because the baby still has room to do aerobics Richard Simmons style.   

Speaking of aerobics, despite the fact that I am cleared of Placenta Previa, the doc has still said that I should avoid "bouncy bouncy" so I can still walk and such but play it cool.  So I have been hitting the gym at-least 3-4 times a week to do the elliptical and some light lifting.  Still hasn't stopped me from gaining a ridiculous amount of weight--which I also did with Haley.  It is what it is, as long as baby is born happy and healthy--I can care less what happens to me in the process.  

So, so far--the second half of my pregnancy has been MUCH MUCH smoother than the first.  Thank goodness for that.  Now it is just the waiting game.

Fruit & Root Connection: Tangled Up

Certainly, I've expressed my aversion to hyper-spiritualized language before. It often feels contrived, lacking authenticity—a facade of piety. Perhaps it's projection. Maybe jealousy. Or it could stem from a sense of disillusionment with the Christian community. But every so often, amidst the noise, a truth resonates deeply. "There is a root and fruit connection between heart and behavior. People and situations do not determine our behavior; these things provide an occasion where our behavior reveals our hearts." - Instruments in the Redeemer's Hands I've been navigating through my anger, confronting myself in the mirror. What does this anger unveil about my own heart? Surely, they aren't as enraged with me. In fact, they probably don't spare me a second thought. If anything, they—as sincerely as they can muster—bemoan my status as an apostate. So pitiful. My fruit is anger. And too often, I'm tempted to point fingers elsewhere as the source of my...

If Your Happy and You Know it Clap Your Hands....

Alright y'all, I need to post an actual blog post.  It's been awhile.I guess I have said " writers block".  Everytime I've sat down to blog, I've gotten this nasty attitude, like I just want to rant and complain.  I'm not a fan of giving a bad mood more than it deserves or letting people get on my nerves enough that it bleeds in my blog in the most passive-aggressive way possible.  So I won't go there this time.  Focusing on what I'm thankful for has been such a great practice, and has helped me avoid the above.  So here goes nothing.....I'll update a little bit on everthing I suppose.... Finally, life is beginning to slow down.I am so appreciative of the fact that the moving/settling in process is over ( only to do it all again in T minus 5 months....) In theory, there should be a big hole where our next house will be soon. For some reason I doubt that they will break ground this week, but I would be happy if they did...I'm stressed and ...

Never Say When

At some point in my journey, I forgot that church leaders are flawed humans too. I have a tendency to overly respect authority for the sake of their position. I assumed, being a pastor meant that there is some how a higher spiritual connection. Consequently, I would turn off my own discernment in favor for whatever I was being instructed to do by our church leader. The person I have grown to distrust the most and the person I betrayed the most was myself.  Examples: Early in our journey, we had a small group. For the most part, I LOVED small group nights. Until we had a change of seasons. I had just had my third baby. We were living in a rental property while renovating another home ourselves. I was working on leading our developing children's ministry and feeling over my head. Ian worked afternoons so either small group would take one of only two family nights or would be when he was working, leaving me to attend alone most of the time. Our small group had roughly 10-15 small chil...
