When people ask me how the pregnancy is going, my short answer is usually A) “Great! Thanks to my chiropractor!” Or, I think I’ll add a B) “Great! I’ve got an amazing husband who massages my feet all the time!”

We are having an easier time coming up with a list of what not to name our baby than actual candidates. Some of them are tempting, but then some of them are just out of our late-night-we-should-just-go-to-bed talks. Here’s a few from the “nah” list:

One recent morning when I wasn’t feeling well, Kadie said, “We could go to your room. You should do your exercises.”
David knows how much I enjoy flowers; especially when I’m in need of some cheer. But then the poor guy sneezes until he’s miserable. Love hurts, right? I think that after six years of marriage, I might have convinced him that I thoroughly enjoy them even when I set them outside the window. Nice thing is, they last quite a bit longer out in the cool air.
David married me back when I wasn’t sure I would be able to be much of a wife to him. I was bed-ridden quite a bit and David carried a pillow around for me everywhere we went, and, occasionally, carried me when I couldn’t walk. Thankfully, I am WAY better than six years ago, but I am still dealing with my chronic pain, insomnia, and recently rediscovered, parasite issues. I thought they were gone, but I guess not.
David has always been very healing to me. His frequent foot massages helps my head pain disappear for a while. I’m so blessed to have a husband who is so generous with his love to me.

Everyone experiences rainclouds in life. Sometimes I wonder just how many rainclouds can gather over my head at once. This past month was a doozy for us, but thankfully we had God as a big umbrella over us, and some glimpses of sunshine through our friends and family.
Here’s a video I made for my cousin Wendy’s son, Ryan. He has brought me and Wendy closer this past year. He’s a special boy.
