17 weeks, 4 days

Had another doctor's appointment last week and everything went well. The baby's heartbeat was at 142 and I'm doing great with blood pressure and weight gain. I was all excited to schedule my ultrasound that day, but found out that I had to wait to hear from the hospital. Because of my seizure disorder, I have to have a Level 2 ultrasound so that they can get a really good look at the spine. Not fun to hear, but I will have really good pictures. :) I finally talked to the hospital yesterday and my ultrasound is scheduled for Thursday, August 6th at 7:45am (for this ultrasound, they wait until I'm 21 weeks). I am SO excited and impatient -- I want to know if baby Nski is a boy or girl! I can't believe I have THREE MORE WEEKS until I find out.

Walter was in DC this past Friday-Monday with our church high school youth group. Everyone had a great time, but it is great to have him home. Of course, I leave tomorrow for Texas. I'll be in Fort Worth, TX on Wednesday-Saturday for Premier Design's National Rally (my jewelry business). Then I head to Houston, TX Saturday-Tuesday to visit my college roommate and dear friend, Brooke. I am SOOO excited to see her!! She is pregnant (but with her second child) and due in February! We'll have to go maternity shopping together. :)

Forgiven and Free

I've come to the revelation that I don't love people (other than my family, which I love fiercely). I'm not trying to be funny and I'm not being mean. I care for people and I genuinely show love and care, but deep down in my sinful, deprived soul, I don't truly love people. Let me explain... I've been hurt a lot by friendships. Numerous times I have let my guard down and tried to be real, just to have those people walk away from me for no reason. So I've put up walls and guarded my heart. I'll share only what is safe, but I struggle to be vulnerable and real. Years ago I went to counseling to help me with being more vulnerable (and my perfectionist nature). I grew a lot and after about a year, I connected with my future husband and allowed my walls to come down. I praise the Lord for him and allowing me to be real. My husband is a gift from God, but I still struggle with my female friendships. Guy friendships always seem to be easier to me. Maybe it ...

Honestly...

I've been thinking a lot about honesty lately, specifically in relationships. For the most part, I consider myself an honest person. When I worked in retail, my customers appreciated that I would give them honest feedback and let them know if something worked for them, instead of just trying to make a sale. I joke around that if you give me a just a little alcohol, you will be sure to know my opinions about any and everything. ;) However, when it comes to people who are close to me, I have a harder time being honest. I can be honest when it doesn't matter -- even when it is with people I consider my friends. I think because there isn't as much at stake -- if they judge me, get mad, or walk away, it doesn't really matter. I know that I was honest and I can move on in my life.  However, with those closest to me, I'm careful to keep things close to me and compartmentalize instead to sharing how I honestly feel. There's way more at stake. Yes, I know that the people...

Simple and Sweet

So, Saturday I found and bought my wedding dress (no, I am not posting any pictures). Monday, I found my bridesmaids' dresses. Yea! It's all coming together. I still don't have any pictures to post. I tried to post one, but it didn't work. So, I have to find a different picture. I'll try to do it soon. Sorry!
