22 Weeks.

This past week I've become very weary and exhausted. It's all I can do some days to make it to my bed!

I know you all have been DYING to know about the cockroach. Let me show you...


DEAD DEAD DEAD :) My hero didn't miss him this time, and he's outta my house! Hopefully he didn't leave any friends or family behind. I rest more easily calling it a "he..." 

I've only made it up to 17 on Flappy Bird. A 3rd grader took my phone yesterday, and after a couple of tries he had 91 points on the stupid game. Kids are quite amazing these days! And by the way...if you didn't download it after my post last week, too late! The developer took it off the App store. He was gaining too much fame too quickly. So strange! Count your blessings. Now you won't throw your phone against the wall.

This weekend we had so much fun taking a crew of 57 (yes, you heard correctly) to WinterJAM. It was awesome! 10 Christian bands for $10...I'm there. For this event they have General Admission, so you're not guaranteed a seat. 2 of our adults almost got lost in the sea of people hoping to get in the doors, but thankfully we all made it in before they turned people away. It was a close call. The place was PACKED!  We got to chat with a couple of Tyler's buddies from his home church- Colton Dixon and Russ Lee. Both are awesome godly men! It was great to see them!





Tyler and I left the concert and drove straight to Gatlinburg...yes, Gatlinburg. As in a 3.5 hour drive the same night as that concert. Luckily, Tyler loves to drive, so I slept the ENTIRE way there. We were able to spend Saturday with family and celebrate my father-in-law's birthday! It was so great to see them! As always!

In other news, THE OLYMPICS STARTED! I wish I could sit on my fanny all day long and watch them constantly. Sadly, I have other adult responsibilities that prevent this from happening. So, here's to hoping these next few days are as snowy and sleety as they say they'll be! I love to hibernate :)

My favorite Olympic events to watch are figure skating, curling, and speed skating. We were watching figure skating last night and Tyler pointed out the fact that we couldn't even do what they do on dry land. Those people are legit! And their muscles. I mean...if I had as much muscle mass as those women, I could do amazing things too! 

This morning I've had lyrics to a song running through my head...

Who is this King of Glory
Beautiful and matchless one
Who is this King so holy
every knee will bow at his throne

Jesus the Lamb of God
Savior and King

YOU ALONE are worthy of our praise forever
YOU ALONE are seated on the throne of heaven
Glorify Glorify YOU ALONE!

We sang this in church yesterday, and I can't get over how beautiful the words are! God alone is worthy of our praise. EVERY knee will bow at his throne. Whether that's when you die or when Christ comes back, you will bow at His throne. He offers such a beautiful gift of love and grace to us. He sent His only Son to die in our place...for our filthiness. Jesus rose from the grave and is seated by God...He wants a relationship with us that we may have eternal life with HIM! That's just amazing. The closer I get to meeting Liam, the more I catch a glimpse of the unconditional love God has for us. I mess up so many times, but he still loves me.

Thankful.



At 22 weeks:

Size: Spaghetti Squash. About 11 inches. 1 pound!

Major Happenings: His eyes and lips are developed. He's developing tiny tooth buds beneath his gums! He now has fine hair covering his whole body. My little woolly mammoth :)

What's Been Happening: We received our crib mattress and some hanging paper lanterns I'm putting up in the room. Our crib skirt is also being sewn! Exciting! I'm loving the nursery so far!

Sleep: I've been sleeping very lightly, and I go to bed way too late. I'm definitely sleep deprived right now.

Miss Anything: clear skin. I've had some friends on my face lately. ALL worth it!

Food Cravings: One night I had tacos made...yes, already made. Tyler came home-I told him he has 2 options! We can eat those tacos or go get HIBACHI!!!!! Needless to say, we got hibachi. I've wanted it again ever since...

Bellybutton in or out: IN. 

Wedding Rings on or off: On!

Gender: Blue. I'm hoping to get some cutie patootie bowties for Liam :)

Looking Forward to: Feeling stronger kicks and movement. It's been the coolest thing in the world to feel him buzzing around in my belly!
