I was in the process of writing about my pregnancy...and was actually focusing on the things that are annoying...so I think it is appropriate that I start here - that I share a few gifts from this season rather than just my laments...
I am thankful for these gifts:
1. the consistent pokes and prods within my buldging abdomen that remind me at the most unexpected moments that there is life teeming inside of me...
2. the stolen moments I take - dreaming about who she will be...what she will look like...how she will dance...if she will have her daddy's energy
3. The words of my doctor today - "you are the picture of health"
4. My husband's feet & back massages
5. Learning to take advice from my younger sisters...for they are experienced ones & I am the pupil
7. Josh's talking to Selah at night - telling her that she is loved...seeing the hope he has in his eys
8. Receiving a "Dixie Bear" today - my dad's secretary hand-made a bear for Selah & shared with me the prayers she prayed as she made this special gift
9. Friends who listen to my complaints and concerns
11. Finding joy in my imperfect figure
12. Eating that cinnamon roll...or Taco Villa without a concern
13. Discovering that tea is ALMOST as delightful as coffee

Dixie bears are the best!
I agree with the Dixie bears. Diaper changing at our house would not the be same if Madi didn't have Dixie bear to hold!
Again, totally agree! Farrah loves her Dixie bear! And how special is it that Dixie prays over every bear she makes! Can't wait to meet the newest Allen member.
Awwww Love the lady that yeled at you, isnt that just awsome!
Wow. Your words brought tears to my eyes. So beautiful!
I'm into the high 200s now and it's always a discipline but a joy to do. I'm glad you're doing it too! BTW, can I say how excited I am about your baby?! I can't wait to hear about the arrival of little Selah.
