Well, yesterday marked 10 weeks in this pregnancy. On Thursday I had some spotting and ended up getting an ultrasound to check on this little baby. Baby was bouncing around like crazy and the tech was giggling because, "I've never seen a baby this active before....be prepared"! I'm so thankful everything is ok with this newest addition to our family!
I've been very emotional the last few days. I'm worried about there being enough of me to go around with each of my 3 children. I remember being so tired in the third trimester with Micah that I would fall asleep while Cobi played. Micah will probably not even be a full year old yet when this baby is born. I just feel like I'm jipping them of my time and energy. I know we didn't plan this pregnancy and God must have other plans, I'm just concerned that it's going to be too overwhelming. I know the Lord doesn't give us more than we can handle but there are days with just these two that I feel like I can't take anymore.
My house is a disaster zone that I can't keep up with. I used to be so overly zealous about cleaning that I would be exhausted and not able to play with my children. Now, though, I've gone the other direction and I play with my kids until they go to bed and then I hop in bed exhausted. I guess I just need to find a happy medium. I know it will get better and nothing can break me when I've got God on my side. :)
I just keep meditating on Jeremiah 29:11 - "For I know the plans I have for you" declares the Lord. "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you HOPE and a FUTURE"! God knows what he's doing and he's got it all under control. I've got hope in my Savior and I can trust his word! He has plans for us that we just can't see yet! I keep reminding myself everytime I feel overwhelmed that "Blessed is the man whose quiver is FULL" Psalm 127:5
It's all good! God is GOOD, all the time and ALL the time, God is GOOD!!! Amen and Amen!
