6 Months

I have been feeling a little more anxious this week- Up to this point, I have been feeling that the pace of this pregnancy has been perfect, but suddenly now, I feel like there is so much to do to prepare! On Monday I came home and told Dillon that there is so much I want to do during the day, but when I get home from work I feel too drained and unmotivated. I am working on not letting these feelings overwhelm me, because as quickly as things are moving, I don't want to take any moment of this for granted!

Last night we ran to The Galleria to look for Dillon some new clothes. Here is a pic of me at 6 months (25 1/2 wks). I think this is my favorite month of pregnancy so far- my bump is pronounced  but I don't feel completely huge (as I know I will those last few weeks), and I love feeling her move all around (especially at night!)

Moving Right Along

23 1/2 Weeks

We have been busy! So much is left to do, but we made a small dent this past weekend by clearing out a closet for Reese, organizing her small collection of things, picking out a crib (much thanks to Mama and Daddy!) and registering! Some of it was fun, and some was stressful. *Grin*

I am feeling "large and in charge" these days, but I want to be more cautious than I have been, as I talk about my body. Dillon and I will be raising a girl in a society with harsh standards for beauty, and I do not want to plant words like "fat" and "chubby" into her mind, words I have been using frequently up to this point. I hope Reese grows up feeling that she is valued , not because of her beauty, or even because of her brains but because she has a Savior who loves her.
