30 Weeks and Counting

We are officially at 30 weeks. 6-10 weeks left before our little one is here, depending on how patient she is. I am on "rest" which is no fun, but it's not total bed rest so I am very grateful for that. Things are progressing slowly around the house because of the rest, but they are getting done.

My biggest prayer of thanks through all of this is that God has blessed my husband and son with LOTS of patience with the situation. Micah has been so even tempered about mommy not being able to play the same way we used to. We make due with what we can do, and it's nice. There's a lot more quiet time cuddling moments, but that's okay, we both enjoy it. We've also been working on his flashcards and he can now recognize the entire alphabet, and the numbers 1-12. I am amazed at how quickly he learns. He just absorbs the information, and he really seems to enjoy it. I love that he loves to learn. He also started coloring on the chalk board recently while mommy makes lunch/dinner. He has a lot of fun with it, and i think he likes that it's different from coloring with crayons, which he also enjoys.

Kevin has been great about reminding me to take it easy, and helping with the baby. I don't know what I'd do without him. God has truly blessed me with an amazing and loving husband. He has really helped me stay calm and positive through all the rough stuff. I really do love that man!

Now I'm trying to start up my Etsy shop, I've had a lot of interest in my nursing covers and car seat covers, and it would be great to get some stockpiled before the baby gets here. I've had a lot of fun designing on Spoonflower and may start designing fabrics for my products, really get prints and patterns that are different from what you find in every other store. Especially stuff for little boys, since as a mom of a boy I know how difficult it can be to find cute boy prints.

Lots left to do before #2 gets here, but we'll get there in time, and we'll continue to enjoy the ride as we go. Thank God for all the blessings!
