Where to even start... last I updated we hadn't even gotten our 3D ultrasound pictures of our girl yet! Now (29 weeks = how I mark the days at this point) I stare at them everyday... GOSH she is precious and looks WAY too much like her daddy. She's also a thumb sucker *insert crying emoji. PRESH.
Since I last updated the blog, I've started leading worship at our church, we've made a solid group of friends from that we get to see multiple times a week and just hang, study the word and do life together. Man has that been healing and life giving. We've had a baby shower, I got my hair cut and colored (big deal for this chick who never keeps up with hair color lol) by my bestie Crissy Goumas at Splendid Beauty Bar & Co. in Loganville, GA and my belly is expanding to its LIMITS. Sleeping and walking is hard right now. Sciatic pain is the WORST. Also I'm leaking milk so that's cool HA.
It's also been a little bit of a rollercoaster ride emotionally over these past couple of months. We lost some close people in the family, Jonathan and Dilshan's business (Refined Parking Solutions) has undergone some crazy awesome yet super stressful growth and change, life has just been crazy busy with commitments, navigating marriage as newly-ish weds and being preggy has it's days and God's REALLY just been shining light on darkness all around us. Which has been GREAT but you get to a point where you're ready to yell "God give me a break for a second!". Jonathan and I have been the weirdest combination of absolutely drained and busting at the seams with passion and joy. It depends on what day you catch us lol.
I will say this time is so sweet, exciting, crazy and challenging all at the same time. Jonathan and I have been growing so much closer during this time and are really learning what it looks like to lean into Jesus as a little family unit and surrender our burdens. That's a weird one for me to navigate being the worrier I am. On the same note, I've also never felt SO LOVED in this season.
Our friends and family have showed up in ways I can't comprehend. One things for sure... I know we are never alone.
Right now I am EXHAUSTED... that symptom never went away. I went to the OB yesterday and had another ultrasound scan done (will be a reg thing due to my asthma) and my glucose test done. Got a call back from my OB today and I passed my glucose test but my blood is showing I've developed anemia. Sounds crazy but really it's a blessing in disguise... I've been SO tired and sluggish... guess what the main symptom of anemia is??? You guessed it. I'll start taking iron supplements and my energy levels should start going back up! WHOOP!
We're wrapping up this pregnancy with me in my last trimester, baby shower done, her nursery in order... need to figure out a few other key things before she makes her grand entrance but MAN do I feel relieved in so many ways. I am so thankful for this time of "calm" before the "storm". God is so good.
