Texas and baby


Just got back last night from Texas. I flew to Fort Worth on Wednesday for our Premier Designs National Rally. It was so much fun! They introduced the new jewelry line and new catalogs on Thursday. Woo hoo! On Saturday, I flew from Fort Worth to Houston to visit my friend, Brooke. We had SO MUCH FUN!! Even if we haven't seen each other in a while, the conversation is easy and it seems like no time has passed. I'm so blessed to have her as my friend. We did a variety of things together and went maternity clothes shopping. Yea!! Other than my BellaBand, I bought my first maternity clothes. :)

My trip was great, but it was a long time to be away from my husband. I missed Walter SO MUCH and it is so nice to be with him again. He needs to come with me to Texas next time. :)

So, I'm 18 weeks and five days today. My ultrasound is in two weeks from tomorrow (August 6th). I've posted a picture that I took a few days ago. It is really hard to take a picture with your phone while standing sideways. :)

A really cool thing that happened during my trip to Texas is that I started to feel the baby move! It's still really faint, but so nice to feel. I couldn't wait to tell Walter. :) I am also starting to get hungry ALL THE TIME. That is really unusal for me -- I'm the person who can actually forget to eat. Not anymore. If I don't have food for that baby, I start to feel lightheaded. I seriously have to snack every two hours. Oh, and I'm still chugging my milk nonstop.

It is fun and miraculous to watch the changes happening to my body. It's weird, yet wonderful. I'm so thankful to have a wondeful husband who constantly shows how much he loves me, supports me, and encourages me. I'm so glad we're in this together -- I wouldn't choose anyone else.

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!
