Hi! I'm back from a long hiatus, yet again. What's happened since February?
Noah's a little older. We celebrated his first birthday which brought tears to my eyes as I thought about how he'll always be growing and this sweet little boy that I get the privilege of raising will not always be this small. However, I love seeing him learn and flourish.
Currently, he's down to just taking one nap a day. He loves anything outdoors. Noah will sport his red crocs without hesitation and he actually walks so well in them. I love his chubby feet squished in there. He's currently only speaking gibberish, but knows exactly what to do when we ask him to do it. It's mind-blowing, actually, to see him learning these things. Just fascinating. To be honest, as he is learning, so am I. It's truly the most humbling task that I'll ever get to do and I'm just thankful that the Lord has allowed me to be a mom to him.
Travel. We honestly haven't done much traveling this year, but we did just come back from annual conference and that was refreshing to see friends again.
Marriage. Jeff and I celebrated 5 years of marriage this past month. The years have gone by so so fast and I almost forgot again! Life's been fun, though and I always say the same thing … it only gets sweeter with each passing year. I often think about our first years of marriage and remember how silly and naive we were — in a sense, we will probably always will be naive, but I've loved the journey.
Transition. I haven't officially announced it but we've been telling people here and there - Jeff and I are expecting again! It's very exciting, but I feel like the busyness of summer has kept me occupied in other ways. As our family grows, naturally I'm thinking about our future and I can't help but continue to desire a space of our own. While so thankful for the space we have currently, I can't wait for our family to have our own space to serve one another, to eat together, to function as our own. I'll continue to wait on the Lord for His timing. Not to mention, the market is crazy. Ha! That's kind of where I'm at though.
Other than that, I've been taking this pregnancy one day at a time. I was surprised with the onset of major nausea in the first trimester. It hit me like a ton of bricks and it was bad. Very thankful to be in the 2nd trimester with a little more energy! Yesterday, I had a dream that it was a girl and I've been crossing my fingers to have a little girl, but we'll see when the day comes. ;)
That's all for now, folks.
