Time Flies... When You're Having a Baby

Woohoo!
I am finally in my third trimester. I can't believe that this pregnancy has gone this fast! It does seem to go slower day by day, and as I look back it feels like an eternity since I took that positive test over six months ago.

These are a few of my favorite things...

I thought what better time than now to reflect on a few of my favorite moments from the past year, like an "Oprah's Favorite Things" kind of post...

Traditions, Traditions, Traditions

Hello all for December!
So here's the deal-y... with Christmas coming up, I am loving all of the traditions that our little family has started, tried, and learned from (as in never do again). I am curious about all of your traditions that you and your families have cultivated. I am always on the look-out to steal some good ideas!

My plate is full. How about yours?

Well, I did not fall off the face of the earth... I've just had a lot on my plate.  Or I guess I should say a lot has been re-arranged on my plate.

Quiet Time Spoken Loudly

  I woke up this morning to a new sense of hope and encouragement.  I had written last Mother's Day about Hannah.  Her story has inhabited my brain ever since.

I'm no Mary Poppins, I'm an Orange Rhino!

  So I have a confession to make... I will just come out and say it... I yell, a lot.  I would like to blame it on hormones, just being moody, the air smelling funny, the cat, anything other than what I know it to truly be... ME!  I absolutely hate this about myself!

My prayer request...

  I've been thinking about babies so much it makes my head hurt!  I want to be pregnant more than anything at the moment!  (Ok, maybe not exactly true, but close!)
