First, as many of you already know, Josh and I decided I would be a stay at home mom. Eek! I'm very excited about this but very nervous as well. I have a hard time NOT having a job. I know that come September I will have a full time Mommy job, but it's this summer break that is driving me nuts! All in all, I know that this is what I'm supposed to do, and it is something that I have prayed about. I would rather go back to a job later than regret that I can't go back to raising our daughter. Some moments you just can't replace!
Second, I am about to enter my third trimester! Where did the time go? It seems like it should still be January - telling everyone I'm pregnant!! However, if you have seen me lately, it is BLATANTLY obvious. HELLO BABY BELLY! All doctor's appointments have been great up until now. Everything is "normal" and this unsightly weight that appears on my body is "textbook". If only all weight gain was textbook.
Third, we are still trying to sell our house. This has truly been a test in faith. Pray pray pray!! We have a BEAUTIFUL house, and it is completely updated (it was built in 2008). However, it is finding that ONE family that fits the house and loves it. All the prayers possible will be greatly appreciated! We hope to be able to move BEFORE Elouise is born.
Finally, one of my best friends, Morgan Menefee and her mom, are throwing Elouise a baby shower!!!! I'm so excited! Invitations should go out soon. Keep July 24th marked on your calendar.
That's all I've got for now, but let's keep our fingers crossed that I updated before two months pass again!!
Love -
HL
