God has blessed me much more than I could ever deserve. I hope to live my life in complete praise to Him--the One who has given me everything.

I received this in an email this morning. I thought it was funny after my last post!

Expectant Mom Mantra
Repeat after me: I am not fat, I am growing a baby. After a lifetime of watching your weight, it can be unnerving (and sometimes depressing) to watch it go up, up, up. Whenever you feel bummed about your expanding girth (and your expanding bum), remind yourself that there's a beautiful reason your body is changing. To fuel that baby growth, you need to keep your growth going, too, so dieting's never an option when you're expecting. Instead, eat as healthy as you can (remember, you share every bite with your baby), and eat as much as you need to in order to gain at the right rate. (One more time, with feeling: I am not fat, I am growing a baby!)


Hope you all have a great weekend!!

Dear Lesli,
I think it will be worth it. I can't wait to see what she looks like! Love,
Tricia

I have no doubt it is worth it. Easy to see the scale go up and the mirror change...no, but worth it...DEFINITELY!! I can't wait either! 15 weeks if she comes on time!
