Sesame Seed sized lessons from God

So, Josh and I are finally starting to realize that we’re not dreaming. We really are going to having a baby!  We are just beside ourselves with excitement and can’t seem to stop smiling.  I am so thankful that the Lord is working this great miracle in me right now!  If we had not found out when we did, it would not have taken long…  Lately, I have been exhausted to the point of embarrassment.  So far, I have fallen asleep on the hardwood floor at a friend’s house amidst a group playing Rock Band, on the church floor as our band practiced for the upcoming weeks, and other random places that one would normally find quite uncomfortable.  I am so thankful the Lord has blessed me with a flexible schedule so I can take naps on lunch breaks and rest in the evenings. It absolutely amazes me that something the size of a sesame seed can drain your energy so much.  I was reading in a book that when a pregnant woman (in her first trimester) is sleeping her body is working harder than a non-pregnant woman is while mountain climbing.  Amazing!  On another note, last Friday Josh and I went out on a date night and it was the first time food was not my friend.  Since then, I have had to avoid several smells (including the broccoli salad at our churches membership meeting).  All of these things would normally not bring joy to someone, but I just can’t help to get excited, because I know the Lord preparing a little one in my womb.

Psalm 139:13-14  -  For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.  I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
