Wow been a while since I wrote something, obviously I'm not very good at this whole blogging/journaling thing hehe oh well. I can't believe March is almost over! So much has gone on Adam and I have been keeping very busy.
I have recently taken up crocheting, as a way to spend some of my time. I thought it'd be a neat project to learn and I could make something for my baby. I got the idea one day when Adam and I walked into walmart and I went to the craft section and walked down the yarn aisle. I asked Adam if I could pick out a project to learn to do and work on and he was all for it. So I picked out a kit that said "Learn how to Crochet, easy crochet" I thought that should be easy. I also picked out three balls of yarn (The book came with a blanket pattern in it and I thought it should be easy to do) Seeing as we still weren't sure of the sex of the baby I picked out colours that could go either way. I got home opened everything up and went to the page with the blanket on it and thought "Oh boy what did I get myself into". I went onto youtube to se if I could figure this thing out and after a whole day spent on trying to get it frustrated I gave up. That weekend Adams mom showed me how to do it and what everything met, and I must say I've picked it up quite quickly. I've got the blanket 1/3 done (there's a lot of little tedious work to this blanket I did not realize haha) and I must say I am quite enjoying it. Two weeks ago I wanted a quick break from the blanket so I was looking at free patterns online and found a cute one for this adorable hat, so I challenged myself to do it, and I did it! It's just so sweet! So that's one way I have found to help take up time, I just need to be careful not to let it take up all my time as it can be addicting.
Also this month we finally had our ultrasound!! =) What an amazing experience! I loved seeing my little baby wiggle around and kick up a storm. I couldn't keep myself from laughing as the ultrasound lady would put the thing on my stomach on it and my little Jelly Bean would give it a big kick, I'd feel the kick and I could see him/her do it on the screen! I so wish we could of gotten some of the photos she took, but seeing as it's the law here we weren't allowed. They were just so cute and I wanted to look at the forever and share them with my family and friends. Although in 2 weeks we go to 3D miracles and we'll get some photos then, which we're pretty excited for! =) yay! Then we find out for sure if it's a girl or boy! Although we kind of have a good idea. You see before we went to the ultrasound Adam and I googled boy ultrasound photos and girl ultrasound photos, sow e could see if we could try and guess what it was (for fun). We had a feeling the lady wouldn't let us take a guess but she was very nice and let us take a peek down in the area. Looking intently at a VERY clear view (our little baby is not shy) We didn't see anything indicating boy (neither did we se anything indicating girl either) even though the lady couldn't tell us what it was for sure, she did say she didn't see any boy parts. Adam and I took it with a grain of salt (we really don't have a preference we just wanted to see if we could guess and we do find out for sure April 8th) Seeing as we think it's a girl that is what we've been calling it lately. I tell people she's a girl till someone tells me otherwise and I'd still be happy either way. Then today at my Dr. appointment the Dr. asked if we knew what we were having and Adam said that we think girl, the Dr. turns to me and smiled and said, don't waste your money on U C baby (the 3d place). Adam and I think that was his subtle way of saying that we were right!
God has been so good, because I was really nervous about the ultrasound (I had heard some stories of not so pleasant experience and was worried it'd happen to us) but we really enjoyed it and the lady was very nice letting us spend a good time seeing our baby, showing us all the different parts. I was also very nervous about meeting my baby Dr. I've never met him before and when I was really sick with my morning sickness I had a not so pleasant experience with a Dr. other than my family Dr. and therefore made me nervous going to someone other than my family Dr. But this OB/GYN has been very nice and professional. He is very thorough in his examinations when we go in. Takes his time, he even has a small scale ultrasound machine in his office so he can keep an eye on baby. You have to wait 2 hours pretty much every time to see him, but he's well worth the wait and we really are happy with him. Being a new momma-to-be I feel I have a lot of questions and sometimes feel like they're just silly questions but he's good at answering everything. I don't know why I ever worried, God is in control and I know I shouldn't be worrying at all. I find it hard sometimes and I get carried away.
Adams family went together and bought us a change table and it came in last week. We were very excited about that! Also we got some extra money and were able tog et the paint for the baby's room! We have the first coat on just waiting for time to do the second. I can't wait to start getting everything all set up =). Adams pretty excited too, he makes me laugh. I'm very thankful for the husband God gave me. He's been very supportive and encouraging when I was really sick. And even though it's been a crazy 5 months of married life, I know he wouldn't change it and he's just excited about this baby as I am. She really is a blessing from God and we're already learning so much form this experience. Learning to lean on God more and trust in him to provide, and that everything is his will even if we weren't planning he sure was! Also learning a lot about marriage and sacrificial love better! I know we want to do Gods will for our life and for HIM to be the focus of our family not each other.
Adam and I received a book for a shower gift before we got married. I haven't really touched it till this past week, and not because we're going through trouble or anything I just thought I should start reading it. It's the Love Dare book from the movie Fireproof (great movie if you've never watched it) except this is a 365 day devotional. I started reading it and already I have been encouraged to be a better wife.
This has been a long blog but I just had many things to share, Lately I've been and encouraged by others blogs and just had to get these things of my mind (even though they are good thing =)) I'm very excited to see what the coming month has for Adam and I!
Adam and I and Jelly Bean on St. Pattys day (or Green day as I call it)
