Is prayer a monologue? video

This is the third of eight videos in which I answer questions from the YouCat. This one: Is prayer a monologue? (in Portuguese)

Walking

I'm not sure which phase is worst in pregnancy: the first trimester smell food and feel like you're going to throw up all the time or these last few weeks when you really want to get it over with and want the baby out already! 

Even though it will rain everyday this week, I'm going out on a walk every morning for as long as I can until my legs feel like they're going to give out (which is actually not that long...). Let's see if I can get things started! 

Can't see my feet...

Bed sidecar

Baby, where art thou? When will you show yourself? Everything is set and ready to go... except for the baby, apparently. She is liking her stay at Hotel Uterus. 

We have her bed ready, attached to ours...

We are anxiously imagining what it will be like to have a little baby in there. My husband says it reminds him of the motorcycle sidecars:

I think it's a cute image. Now we have a little passenger to tag along with us in life. 

Nesting 3

 It took me quite a few evenings, but I finally painted a "message" for our baby. I got the idea off Pinterest and stenciled it onto a canvas. This is our joint parenting "sentiment"... we want to just help her grow, not mold her into who we want her to be, but whoever she already is. 

I've been thinking about why we're here on earth and it's a scary thought. I do think that being creative is important, even if it's just creating a dish to eat for dinner. Because God created us and the world... and tapping into our creative side taps us into the big mystery of creation. We're made in His likeness, so our ability to create is important. 

 

39 weeks and counting

This weekend we tried to stay at home as much as possible to rest, get our things in order and possibly spend the last weekend at home without a crying baby. Things are still not completely in order, but I don't think they'll ever be. And I wish she'd just come already! 

We had a "gourmet" ;) breakfast in bed and a yummy, easy-to-make quiche...

39 weeks and very IMPATIENT!
