Perspective

We are home! 
This morning as I tried to organize my thoughts about how to go about my day, I fought down rising morning sickness.  Yes, sickness has kicked in with a vengeance.  It started Saturday morning as I was finishing packing us up to leave Idaho.  We traveled all day Saturday and Sunday with me munching the whole way.  Back to this morning ~ I woke up with not much to munch and a tummy saying it needed food.  Morning sickness stinks! but then I got out our favorite book with pictures of a little one developing.  WOW, I am amazed every time by how fast a baby changes and develops.  I sat down with the kids and showed them how our baby already was getting fingers and toes.  Who cares about morning sickness!  I am still amazed by a new little life being formed by God.  I might have to remind myself of that a few times a day or a few dozen times a day.

I have so much catching up to do and so many pictures to download - hopefully they will be up soon but until then . . .
One of our last nights at the Loves we were sitting in our cabin having family prayer time and Isabella started praying, " God I would really like a girl baby but I want your will to be done" and then she looked over at my belly and gasped, " Look momma your belly is getting huge!".  Then she burst into a huge grin and leaned over and hugged the new baby :)

Hmm, we should talk about speaking to your body. Babies are a blessing from God, but morning sickness is part of the curse!
