25 weeks

I cannot believe it's already time to do another update! Here I am before our date last night...

Baby girl is approximately a pound and a half and over 13 inches long! She is starting to gain baby fat instead of being so long and lean. At our 24 week appointment her heart rate was still up around 160 and she is moving more than ever in the past few days. I can literally see her moving sometimes which is completely crazy :)

As you may have noticed in the picture I got my hair cut...it had gotten ridiculously long and thick thanks to those pregnancy hormones/vitamins! I am feeling good and have been trying to workout on the elliptical or treadmill at least 3 times a week to keep my back and legs strong to support the extra weight. For those of you who know about my back problems you know this was a worry for me. But so far so good and I am very thankful!

Also, Breshard moved out last week so John Paul and I spent a good chunk of this weekend cleaning out the guest room. We also picked up a dresser and book shelf that was GIVEN to us by the lady John Paul nannys for. The Lord's provision continues to amaze us. So now we get to start putting baby girl's room together which is very exciting!

By the way some of you may have heard what baby girl's name is but I'm going to do a separate post on that this week! We LOVE it :)

I just have to end this post by thanking the Lord for giving us this sweet girl. I get more excited every day to meet her. It is so humbling to know that she has been entrusted to us and that we get to be her parents. What an amazing gift.

Thanks so much for all of your prayers along this journey. We are so grateful to be able to rest in the promise that the Lord loves our baby girl even more than we ever could and that she is in His hands!
