Belly

Ok so I swore to myself (and my mom! sorry mom) that I would never take a picture like this of myself while pregnant. A picture with my shirt up exposing my belly. Scott had the camera out while I was looking at my belly and snapped this one of me. I decided to put the picture up because....how amazing is it that there is a tiny helpless little human being in my belly?

Psalm 139: 13-16
For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.

My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place.
When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,

your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me
were written in your book
before one of them came to be.

I am in awe of how amazing my body is right now. Scott and I have often talked about how incredible pregnancy is and how my body is capable of growing and nourishing a baby without any real effort on my part (other than being tired all the time and eating a lot more than normal!)

My pregnancy has been a daily reminder of the sovereignty of God. It is truly amazing what is happening inside me, and I can take no credit for this miracle. God has created this precious child within me, and already loves our little one more than he or his parents can possibly imagine.

Molly

Molly is our Jack Russell Terrier who is very hyper active and requires lots of attention. We recently got her some racquetballs to play with, since she eats the fur off of normal tennis balls, and cannot play with normal dog toys b/c she destroys them in seconds littering our home with white fuzz and squeaker particles from the inside of her toys. We have noticed that she does not like her balls to get dirty and she must wash them off in her water bowl...making a HUGE mess in our kitchen. But the dern dog is determined....here is a video...

Nursery

The nursery is almost done and I am so excited! My mom and Nanny came over yesterday and we painted and hung the curtain. Scott put together the chest of drawers (which he still is convinced at the age of 29 that they are called "Chester drawers!") this morning! I'm thankful he did, it did not look like a pleasant experience.

Scrapbooking!

So I've decided to tap into my creative abilities for a little while and start a scrapbook. I know I won't have time to do much after the baby is here, and so I decided to go ahead and scrapbook our wedding and first year together while I have free time! I actually have found that I really enjoy doing it...I didn't know if I would like it or not. It just takes a whole lot of time! I tried to take some pictures...
