Silver Linings

God works in wonderful ways. Through all of this, I am more and more convinced of his perfect timing. There is so much good that has come of this pregnancy ending that I can't possibly describe it all. First of all, I think that the Lord knew that not being able to get pregnant for 8 months would have been a lot harder on me than this has been, yet he knew that we were not yet as ready as we thought we were for another child, so...this was his answer. See...He is so smart! :) And now on to my other "silver linings", some funny and some serious.



Note: Blogger is not cooperating and I am not in the mood to fight it, so these pictures are in random order and these are in no particular order of importance. :)



Dr. Pepper!


I was having a very difficult time this pregnancy with cutting the caffiene habit. So...while the extra time gives me a few more guilt free Dr. Peppers, it also gives me a few months of trying to get my body healthier and in better shape to grow the child that God has planned for our family.


Our House is on the Market!



We were not planning on living in this house forever when we bought it, however, the plan was to stay a couple more years. (Actually, until baby2 was about a year old.) That was pretty much the plan simply because I didnt want to move when I was big and pregnant or when I had a toddler and a newborn. Pretty smart thinking in my opinion! Anyway, since we are not having another child yet, we decided that this might be the best time to sell our home and try to buy something with a little more space for a (hopefully!) growing family. Anyone in the market? :)

Time with My Boy

I am sure that all Moms get this feeling when they are about to have another child, but I was beginning to get a little sad that my alone time with Branson was getting shorter and shorter. He has always been high maintenance, so along with the worries of being able to do it all, came a sadness that this season was ending. So...I am very happy for the reminder to appreciate all of our days together because one day, he will have to share me! :)




The Lord has taught us so much through this experience and I have been glad to get to share it with you guys. This post is kinda symbolizes closure for me on the subject, so I will try not to bring it up anymore and will get back to posting fun and exciting stories of my life with my guys. Thanks again for hanging with me! Love you all! :)
