20 weeks and counting

Psalm 139:13 (The Message)

^13-16 “Oh yes, you shaped me first inside, then out;
you formed me in my mother’s womb.
I thank you, High God—you’re breathtaking!
Body and soul, I am marvelously made!
I worship in adoration—what a creation!
You know me inside and out,
you know every bone in my body;
You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit,
how I was sculpted from nothing into something.
Like an open book, you watched me grow from conception to birth;
all the stages of my life were spread out before you,
The days of my life all prepared
before I’d even lived one day.”

It’s official as of yesterday, we will be seeing lots more pink around our house. I’m 20 weeks now and found out Monday, we’re being blessed with another healthy baby girl. She still has a lot of growing to do over the next 20 weeks, but as of now all is healthy and well. Finding news out like this is like being overdosed with a shot of hope, faith and love all at once. Like many expectant moms, I’ve prayed countless prayers for this child and for whatever reason, God has more than answered. I didn’t care one way or the other if we were having a boy or girl, I just wanted a healthy baby, and from the looks of things that is most certainly what God has created.

As for how I’m feeling, well, like I’m growing by the minute especially after meals and emotionally I feel slightly irrational. Just ask my husband, he would vouch for my crankiness, so pray for him as he puts up with me and the kids:)I must admit I am having a tendency to make a bigger deal out of things than I need to and letting my emotions and hormones get the best of me. The only thing that has really helped is a good nap and those daily confessions I’ve printed out from Joyce Meyer’s book, “Me and My Big Mouth.” Where ever I look in my house I’ve got some truth’s posted to my wall and those are REALLY helpful especially when I’m having one of “those” days. Other than being irrational, I feel great and very blessed to be expecting again.

As I write this, I keep feeling though that someone out there is not having the same experience in their pregnancy, and for whoever that is, I want you to know I’m praying for you and praying God would work a miracle on your behalf like he has for me. I believe God is a “do it again” God and wants to show himself through unexplainable miracles in our lives. I’m not sure who this is for, but if you would like to talk more then please send me a message.

Anyway, thank you for checking in and for your prayers. It means more than you know.

Sincerely,
Paige
