Sometimes you're the pigeon, sometimes you're the statue

I now have a 45 minute commute to work and 45 minutes back. Normally I hate driving, I always make Kellen drive everywhere we go because I just hate driving. I don't mind being a passenger but I hate driving. But lately I have welcomed this time. I spend almost every night driving home thinking and praying. It has led to some really good time spent with God. He has called me to deeper levels of faith and challenged me in some good ways. I've been reminded of his promises in scripture and convicted on many items. Many questions are still left unanswered, but its not for me to worry about. No matter what the answers are our future is secure in the Lord.

Its hard to believe that we are 8 weeks away from our due date now. I am getting so incredibly excited. I noticed at work tonight that I might be starting to "nest". I had a strange burst of energy and could not stop cleaning! We are finally putting her room together. I've washed the majority of the stuff we have for her and organized in her drawers. We ordered her crib ( a lovely gift from my parents) and I can't wait to set it up!! I love sitting in her room on the rocking chair and just day dream about her. Wondering what she'll look like and what she'll like to do for fun, what toys she'll like, what her first word will be. At my doctors appointment yesterday it hit Kellen how soon it will be until she is here. I can't wait to see him interact with her. She's going to be such a daddy's girl and I am certain I will fall more and more in love with him as I watch him father our daughter. I can't believe how different things will be in 2 months. I also can't lie- I'm excited to not be pregnant anymore. I continue to be sick and feel lousy and on top on it I struggle to sleep at night. I am so clumsy and forgetful. I don't recognize my self anymore. I'll miss the bonding time we share- but I won't be losing that its just changing how it happens.


As far as the title of this post, just a cute lighthearted saying I read this week. Sometimes you just need little reminders....
