A quick update: Yes, everything is fine.

9:33 AM

 Hey friends,

Well, I didn't mean to disappear again from here for so long. I just had some challenges with the pregnancy, but before you worry, they had to do with my health; our little girl has been and continues to do great!

It started towards the end of July. I had some congestion that was making it hard to sleep lying down. I started spending about half of each night on our couch. Then pregnancy heartburn hit, and a UTI. What I ended up with was a perfect recipe for severe insomnia.

I didn't sleep for two days straight.

I went ten days with less sleep than I thought it was possible to actually cope with.

Scott missed work.

My Mom and one of my sisters were taking turns staying with me.

It took me almost a month to get back on my feet sleep-wise, but it hasn't returned to normal. I still spend some of each night on the couch. I still am struggling to get my needed sleep. Yet, God has been so gracious through it all.


These are older songarams, but I wanted to share. This week, I hit 37 weeks, so whenever she wants to come, she is considered full term.

I am hoping to share some about the nursery, my baby shower, and some other life updates soon. 

Thank you, everyone, for your prayers and understanding as blogging has taken such a back seat.
