Found out a couple weeks ago we had a little Poppy Seed growing. The following week it grew to the size of an Apple Seed. This week we are enjoying our little Sweet Pea even though he or she brought an abundance of fatigue, moodiness, and nausea along.
So, the plan changes for the coming year. I'm grateful I can rest in the confidence that these are God's plans. Over the past several months, the Lord has been working on this heart of mine teaching me new lessons in contentment. Gone are the fears and anxiety that I was carrying regarding the prospect of a new pregnancy. The Lord has moved me over to peace, surrender, gratitude, and joy. We don't know how long this little one will be with us, but we are all being careful to enjoy each day. The children are over the moon with excitement. They've been taking extra special care of their dear ol' Momma with a fervor. What a blessing.
Next step is to work on my new menu plan. My goal is to combine the GD plan I used with my last pregnancy with Dr. Brewer's pregnancy diet, hoping my hard work in these areas will keep away the GD issues that plagued us with our last baby. Please pray I can be diligent with exercise, discplined in my eating choices, and persevere in prayer regarding my health and Baby's. Above all, I continue to desire the Lord to be glorified in all of my life. I may not be decreasing physically in size in the coming months, but I pray the Lord's purposes, presence, and power will continue to increase in every way.
