Good Morning Sweet Nugs,
Happy Thursday! You are officially 18 weeks- time is flying by! We have continued to learn so much about you and just love you more and more! We get to see you Tuesday and cannot wait!!!! A couple Saturdays ago Dad and I went to a class called Transparent at Watermark. It was such a sweet time of learning what this transition will look like. Even more than that though, we got to learn what it looks like to raise you in a home that is honoring to the Lord. It was explained that all the instructions for how to parent can be found in Deuteronomy 6. That chapter shows us how to live our life in a way in which our kids lives and homes will be blessed. In our class we learned more about this foundational scripture and how it showed us that if we will follow His commandments we will have blessings of a peace in our home, but we must be dependent on the Lord and love Him with all of our heart and with all of our soul and with all of our mind. Therefore, our role as parents is to raise you in a home that is fully devoted to the Lord. Being intentional and talking to you about it ALL THE TIME. To teach you to be fully devoted to God is the greatest gift we could give you. The key and most important thing to do this and raise Godly kids in our homes is for our own lives to be fully transformed by God (Which we can't wait to tell you about!). It is so comforting to know that He does not call us to be perfect sweet one, but just to point you towards Him with every breath we have. He loves you even more than we love you and His grace is always sufficient. We love you like crazy but always hope you know that it is nothing in comparison to knowing your Savior and abiding in Him.
Your Size:A Bell Pepper (5 1/2 inches long!).
Your Wight:7 ounces.
Scripture from Daddy: Deuteronomy 6:6-8 "These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts.Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the door frames of your houses and on your gates."
6 7Your Movements:You have slowed down this week a lot, very few random movements. Momma is really for some kicks!
Mommy's Cravings:Grape Bubble Gum... We have been to 5 stores and NO luck! Of course chocolate & slurpees as well!
Mommy's Aversions:Chicken.
Best Moment: Narrowing down your sweet names!I also went to a consignment store with friends and got you such precious clothes!!! I can't wait to see you snuggled in them!
Worst Moment:We thought we could finally kick the nightly zofran and had success until we took the prenatal without it... It was one sick morning and one sad momma.
Mommy Misses:Diet Coke.
Daddy Misses:Watching Castle... If only mom could stay up that late anymore!
Mommy Cant Wait:To start the nursery... One more step closer to bringing your sweetness home!!! I am also oddly excited to wash your precious new clothes... Something about baby laundry!
Daddy Cant Wait:To see you next week!
Your Milestones:Your nervous system is developing and those bones are getting stronger! You can now flex your arms and legs =) Let the kicking & stretching begin!
Other News:We heard an incredible talk this week HERE. We pray you get to listen to this and know its truth one day =).
Lord, what a precious week this was. How you worked in both of our hearts in crazy ways. It never ceases to amaze me how you show up and pursue us in everlasting ways through every season. We are so thankful that your love never fails and it never gives up. We are humbled as we were reminded this week that your love is incredible for us, and your love for nuggy is the same. How comforting to know you love nugs even more than we do. That you sent your precious son to die on a cross and for a moment he took our sin upon His, a perfect man, so that we could and nugget could could be reconciled to you and share in this indescribable relationship. Love so amazing. Thank you for times of comfort this week and times of trial, thank you for celebrations and more than anything thank you for grace. You are enough for us. We love you.
We Love You!
