Baby #4

The last few weeks have been full of wonderful confirmations that I am exactly where I am supposed to be! I hit this stage of pregnancy, and it is totally bittersweet. I can feel our precious little Lacy Anne moving all over, and my back feels like it is split in two. After a week of some of the worst back pain to date, I'm finally up and moving. We have found that happy medium between pain and enjoyment. I am not particularly fond of actually being pregnant, but I love feeling this tiny little human fidget and wiggle throughout the day. I'm still amazed at the entire process that surrounds pregnancy, childbirth, nursing, and motherhood.

Tonight I had the wonderful opportunity to attend a class about family history. All ladies present shared stories and insights about their family history and the blessings that come from doing genealogy. It made me appreciate my mom and all she has done to learn about our family, and Spencer's grandpa who diligently kept records of everything and published a book about his family. I'm so motivated to pass the legacy of family importance on to my kids. I am so grateful to have the knowledge and testimony of Forever Families! I'm so grateful to have a Christ-centered home, and a wonderful family to fill it with!

And lastly, I've been thinking a lot about how much I've changed over the past few years... I've made friends, lost friends, and reconnected with friends, over these changes. I have learned a valuable lesson through it all, as long as I am on the path The Lord has intended for me to be on, I will have the strength and support I need to overcome any trial or obstacle I have before me.

Anyway, this picture is me at 24 weeks pregnant... 16 to go!
