Update on the Belly

Well here I am. I survived the holidays, however I think I ate too much. It is not that I am eating too much at a meal, but to much too often in my opinion. Anyways, I am now into my 6th month of my pregnancy. I am 25 weeks and I feel great. My total weight gain so far has just hit 20 lbs. I am weighing exactly what I weighed last christmas. How do I feel about it?? Well at first I was scared cause mentally this is hard to see the scale go up. However I know how to eat and I know that once Josiah is here and stops telling me to eat McDonalds every morning, then I will be fine!! LOL . It really blows my mind that I crave things I never had for over a year. I do have a plan when he arrives. The plan is to still try to get back on some kind of routine once I hit 6 weeks and I am cleared. As of right now, I have not been walking or anything. I was doing an excersise video, but with holidays here I kind of got distracted with Tamales in my fridge. But... I am on the go all day doing lots of things and I am not just sitting which helps. These last 3 months, I really do need to start walking again or the video to help me with labor, which by the way frightens me to death!! But I know that God has put this baby in my belly and that He is in control over it all. I need to just keep remembering that. Today as I turn 31 years old, I am not sad as usual. I used to get sad cause I saw every year slipping by and I saw it as getting old with no children. But low and behold, here we are at 31 years old ready to welcome this little miracle in our lives. I can not begin to express how over joyed I am today and this year. I think now that God knew exactly what I needed and when I needed it. Maybe as a 31 year old I have more patience for a baby , who knows. But what ever reason,  I truly know God timing is always on track, even if it is not in time with our own.
Michael, Josiah and I are all living and walking miracles.  I can't wait to tell him the story!

Be Blessed my friends . Wait on HIm cause His timing is everything.
