It's monday

Is is yet another Monday but this Monday is like no other. God has truely blessed me this morning with the presence of His joy! We started potty training Kenzie last week and she is already doing amazing. Last night she pooped in the potty!!!! This morning right after she woke up she went in the big potty and then again at around 11:00! She still goes potty in her diaper quite a bit but I know it will be a slow process. I am not expecting her to be potty trained over night, especially since we are starting out so young! When I tell people we are starting to potty train they just give me this look like it is impossible but I know with God's help Kenzie will be potty trained before we know it. She is growing so fast, I am watching her out of the corner of my eye as she tries to put my shoes on her feet. She gets them on and then tries to stand up. She falls of course but the fact that she is actually putting shoes on her own feet is just amazing. I can't wait to see how Elisha is going to turn out. Speaking of little Eli, I get to hear his little heartbeat today. I am leaving in about an hour and I am just so excited to hear the little man pounding on my from the inside. He is going to be a rowdy one. He kicks all the time. Last night I was laying there in bed and he kicks his foot out and just sticks it there, those kicks are the most painful, but the most precious gift of pregnancy. I love feeling the presence of a little one inside, it just makes me more in awe of God's love for us and His limitless power. God is so amazing! Keep little Eli and myself in your prayers as we are finally in the third trimester. This is where it gets rough and patience grow thin. I am so ready to hold little Eli in my arms but God's time will come! God bless!

Half way through November already

I cannot believe November is half-way through and Thanksgiving is just next week. It seems like just yesterday it was nice enough to run around with shirts and shorts on but now we have to bundle up already. I am super excited about Thanksgiving this year. I am excited to see my family and for them all to see how much Kenzie has grown. I am excited to eat lots of food too. Being pregnant and having a big appetite is a major plus this time of year. I am also excited because Josh and I are going to venture out for the first time on black friday. We really need a tv and so we decided that we will go out on black friday and find us a new tv. Our anniversary is Tuesday and I have big plans for Josh and I. It is so hard to keep things from the person you tell everything to. Completely off subject, God has presented me with many questions this morning and we I am not sure if it is God really or Satan. I know that these questions will only strengthen my faith in God. I just want to be listening to the right Spirit instead of the wrong one. These questions I will have to face with Josh and God. I just know that whatever I decide in this kind of decision God will be pleased but I want to figure out exactly what God's Word says about the matter. Just pray for me these next few weeks and I begin to dig in deeper to God's Word. I am super excited to see where this study is going to lead me. I am so happy that God is giving me something to dive into and search for my own answer!

Can't wait for baby Eli to get here!!
