Weeks 13 - 16 and we're up to date!

Weeks 13 - 16 of this pregnancy and have been filled with highs and lows! Some days I feel so great that I am able to get up, go for a run, clean the house... which all make my sweet husband very happy. Then there are the other days... the days where I wake up at 5am sick as a dog, killer headaches, nausea, the works. I had hoped as I got further along in my pregnancy that some of this would start to subside, but no such luck.


I finished my last day at the Marriott May 14th, which was very bittersweet for me. After being there four and a half years, and having most of the same staff throughout my time there, I was sad to go. It marks the end of another chapter for me, for us, but I am leaning on the Lord's guidance as our new chapter unfolds. Chloe and I have been hanging tight the past few weeks and are ready to head to Columbia and get moved in to our new house!


We had my 16 week doctor's appointment on May 19th and everything is progressing nicely. I have gained one pound so here's hoping I can keep that up. Ha! The heart beat sounded good... 144 bpm. Now are you a girl or a boy?We find out June 10th! Only 3 more weeks and I can't wait! Here is my belly at 16 weeks!

After our appointment, Sean went back to work for a bit so I spent some time relaxing in the sun reading Angie Smith's (www.audreycaroline.blogspot.com) book, "I Will Carry You." Amazing. I cried. I laughed. I was convicted. I was blessed. I was so glued to her book that I sat outside for hours and read. I have since passed this book along to my mom, who is immensly enjoying it as well. 


After my many hour long relaxation (which was quite blissful), Sean and I headed off to our soon-to-be new house for the home inspection. I, particularly, didn't care so much about the home inspection, I just wanted another chance to go in our new home. It was just as I remembered! I walked around the house with my mind going a hundred miles a minute with decor ideas! Can't wait to get moved in get settled in our new home!


So I think we are up to speed on everything... I wanted to catch the blog up with posts throughout the past 11 weeks, as this will be my means to document my pregnancy, our move and all the new adventures the Lord has in store for us! 

This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
