24 weeks...is.going.by.so.fast! the mister has gone from a mustard seed to a bit over a pound now {according to the books}...and that...blows.our.minds! i remember the week it felt like a triumph to find out he had made it to the size of a brazilian nut! he's tipped the scale! one pound...so tiny but at the very same time so big! ...and to think he will double in size over the next 2-3 weeks!
this pregnancy has been far beyond what i could have ever imagined. i used to wonder what it would feel like to be pregnant...it is so much more. i look down at my growing belly...and i realize that somehow all at once my "foundation" dreams...are coming true. all i ever wanted was a god-fearing, humble, caring, and over-protective husband to raise a family with...how can i be grateful enough to have been blessed with these dreams and yet so much more.
i know he has a lot more growing to do...that the miracles of it all are just beginning...and we have many more prayers to give for him. prayers that he continues to be healthy, that he always has a thirst for the word, that he always has a heart for the lord, that he has a sense of humor, his daddy's smarts, his momma's patience...and that he doesn't have the colic! ;) ...among many things!
i don't ever want to forget... the feel of his kicks, the feeling of never being alone, his head/feet/arms/elbows from outside my belly, the amazing closeness of God's hand, and what it feels like to be growing a miracle. i'm so blessed to be carrying him...and that isn't something i take lightly or for granted each and everyday.

enjoy each moment. it goes so fast...
Little Mister will one day look for a woman to marry that has a heart for the Lord and all things pure, beautiful, lovely, and noble just like you do. He's already blessed because God has chosen YOU as his mama.
Little do these little men of ours know that we're the ones that feel utterly blessed and over the moon.
P.S. Totally random....how/where do you get the beautiful frames you put around your digital photos? Is there a software out there or are you just super savvy?
