Just another day

It has been so nice without football practice this past week! I enjoyed not having to rush out of work and to practice. I only had one project this week and that was to add Xavier's name with the moon and stars onto the navy wall and I have that close to complete. It looks pretty good but it didn't turn out exactly like I wanted it to.

My cousin and his girlfriend are having their first baby together! (His first her, third). She is actually scheduled to have her c-section on December 30th so our babies will be 2 weeks apart. He is so excited and it is so sweet. Everyone should be that excited to have a baby. Their baby shower was this weekend. It was the fastest baby shower I have ever been to. It was about an hour away and the shower was maybe 45 minutes. But I wouldn't have missed it. I look massive and like I'm about to deliver any moment...

(L-R) My cousin Wesley, My Mom, Me, and My Sister Danielle...she's looks thrilled to be there


He was kinda excited about the blanket I gave them.




HEY..And we are 34 weeks!!!


Today I read on one of the pregnancy websites I'm a member of that another member went for her 36 week check-up and her baby girl had no heartbeat. After having a miscarriage right before this pregnancy I have been constantly worried about miscarriage, stillbirth, cord accidents etc. etc. I feel so completely sad for her and her family. I cannot imagine the pain she must be feeling. I have been sending prayers up all morning for her and her family. I know that these kinds of things happen. I know that there is no reason why it couldn't be me. I am no better or any different from her. And I think about all the women including myself that complain about being pregnant and how they just want to have their baby, and then I think about what must be going through this woman's mind. I'm sure she would give anything to still be pregnant, and still feel her daughter moving around inside her.  I feel so completely blessed and thankful that I'm still pregnant and as I type this my little boy is moving around. I praise God for everyday that he gives me not only with this baby but with all my kids and family. We are not promised tomorrow, and so I am thankful for every moment I am given.
