“I move, therefore I am.”
I love when I feel my baby boy move in my belly.

Grace in Pregnancy
Grace.
I'm learning how to be graceful towards me. I'm learning to tackle my mistakes with forgiveness and my complacency with grace.
Not that I want to fail, but I do.
I will.
Sometimes, eating pizza tastes better than broccoli. Most of the time, thinking of brocoli (or any veggie for that matter) makes me feel ill, so I can't look at it..much less eat it.
I don't eat as often or I eat too much.
I don't get enough sleep or I am way too lazy.
That's just how it goes. That's life. That's my pregnancy so far.
And that's okay.
"Okay" is not an excuse or an invite to lose all discretion, but it's an invite to learn and grow. It's a chance to live and enjoy.
What an awesome time in my life. Life is in my belly. Our beautiful son is in my womb. It's a privilege and responsibility to be so connected that my choices (even the smallest ones) directly affect his life. That's not to be taken lightly.
Frankly, it's scary.
But there's grace.
I thank God for grace. Each day, I pray that God will help me to make wise and healthy decisions. That He would give me the grace to learn and that He would protect our son each and every step of the way, despite myself.
He has, and He will.
My God. He's an awesome God.
