25 Weeks!

Happy Monday!

A few things that I love about being pregnant...

1. The way that my husband looks at me.

2. Feeling healthier than I've felt in years!.

3. My husband kissing me and then kissing my belly when he comes home from work! He loves my belly and he loves what is in my belly! :)

4. Eating LOTS and LOTS of fruit but never getting that horribly full feeling that I was accustomed to when eating way too many grapes or 1/4 of a watermelon!!!

5. Avaree moving and kicking. It makes my day....every day!

6. The obscure way that people look at me when they are trying to figure out: is she or isn't she pregnant? Ha!

7. The closeness that I feel with Brandon. I thought just being married brought us closer. Then I thought embarassing illnesses and surgeries that require no modesty brought us closer. Then I thought learning how to live together, communicate together, and running this crazy race together had brought us closer, but I had no idea how close we could and would become.

8. Dreaming about our baby's life and God's plans for her.

9. The way that every time music comes on, Avaree starts kicking and seems to be dancing! She especially loves the Prestonwood choir, Daddy's voice and 103.7--not that she really has a choice in these matters, ha!!

10. The idea that God actually chose Brandon and I to be parents and that he will never leave us or forsake us. What a daunting, awesome responsibility it is and will continue to be...!

In other news, we close on our house this week and I cannot tell you what a journey this has been! We are anxious, excited, thankful and broke. :) Life is good!
