Halfway there!

It's hard to believe that I am already 20 weeks and halfway there! My uterus has moved up to my bellybutton and I am definitely starting to show more now. I wore my first maternity shirt last week (that I bought in Texas). So much fun!

I'm already so excited for our precious child. Walter and I went crib/baby's room shopping this past weekend and found exactly what we wanted. :) It was so much fun. This coming Thursday is our ultrasound. Woohoo! Finally. We have been planning to find out the sex of the baby, but now we're thinking about waiting. Why? I realize that the way we want to decorate the room and the bedding we found are all gender neutral (not a pink person myself, so that was out of the picture for a girl's room). Who knows? Well see what we decide come Thursday morning.

Now, I'm starting to figure out childbirth classes. My friend introduced me to the Bradley Method -- an approach to natural childbirth. I am looking to start taking classes using that method. The class meets for 12 weeks and starts the end of August, so Walter and I need to decide soon.

Still need to buy a body pillow. Considering my pregnancy brain has KILLED my memory, we'll see if I ever make it to the store (thank goodness for Amazon)! I can't even remember to buy presents for people -- I've always been bad about it, but now it is REALLY bad. I'm surprised my lack of memory hasn't driven Walter insane yet. :)

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 ...

A Legacy of Mothers

In honor of Mother's Day, I've decided to write about the amazing mothers that are a part of my family: 1. Helen Elizabeth Veerman (Grandma Veerman) Most of what I know about my Grandma Veerman are the stories that I have heard. You see, my grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimers when I was five years old. All of my memories are a poor picture of the woman she was. Helen Elizabeth (known to her friends as Betty) was an amazing homemaker and cook. She raised five beautiful children (four of them boys -- one of them my dad -- so you know she's a saint ;) ) and had a long loving marriage with Marvin. I know she was an amazing mother, because she raised my dad, who is pretty awesome. :) She passed away when I was 13 and I look forward to when I meet her in heaven and learn who she really is, not the Alzheimers version. 2. May Bright (Grandma Bright) When I think of my Grandma Bright, I think of laughter. Why? Because she was so funny and fun to be around. I...

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!
