At this point she is a little over a pound and about a foot long, around the size of an ear of corn. My blood pressure is still good (PTL) and in two weeks I will be going in for my glucose test to see if I have gestational diabetes. Praying that I don't have that this time around (I had GD with Maggie) I can deal with changing my diet but poking my finger 3 to 4 times a day for over two months gets old & expensive! I'm thinking I won't have it this time because this pregnancy has been so different from the others, but prayers are always welcomed!
On the life front of things, we have been very busy getting ministry stuff kicked off and working on the Teen room, giving them a place to call their own! We went to Ft. Myers last week for three days for the Christian & Missionary Alliance district conference. It was good to get away and be surrounded by other people in ministry who are also passionate about reaching young people! Knowing that our time as just JC and I will be coming to an end it is nice for us to spend time with just the two of us!
We have started to read a Psalm a night to our little girl at bed time and praying for her every night and that she grows up with a heart that seeks after God! I made a canvas for her room & one for one of my best friends little girl that was just born on Friday! I'm finding that doing crafts are a great stress reliever for me, and I truly enjoy making things for other people! I'm hoping to get a sewing machine soon, so I can start making things for her crib/ her room.
Here are some pics to catch you up on our life this past month! Blessings on your week my friends!!
XOXO Bee
