its such a hot start off to the day here in north carolina..i no im a woos but i am so sick of the heat..this summer has been unbearingly hot for me,maybe cause im pregnant,maybe jsut cause im not used to living in the south yet but i cant remember a day where the tempatures were lower then the 90's..this weekend its saposed ot be in the 100's AND THATS NOTHING NEW!!!Fall is BY FAR my most favoritest season-the leaves,the fall air,the fun fall activities..its all so lovely.and fall in north carolina is the best-its no prettier anywhere else im sure!sooo i have decided to stay inside as much as possible until fall arrives:)however we are goin on family vacation with amtts family on saturday to orlando for a week..btu at least there we have about 5 pools all around us to jump into:)

so about 3 weeks ago i beleive it was i started feelin the baby"move" around in my tummy...just little flutters here and there...but sometimes im not sure if its the baby moving of my tummy growling:) most times i can tell the difference..but not always.ive been sooo wanting to be able to feel the baby move from the outside of my tummy so matt can feel it too.soo often times when it starts moving ill put my hand on my belly and see ifi can feel something...nothing.but this morning,right wen i woke up and was laying in bed i put my hand on my stomach,the baby was moving all around,and suddenly i felt a light kick:)just once and barely enough to recognize but since i could feel it inside i felt it on the outside too..it was awesome..and now i jsut wanna feel it again..but i have a feelig i wont for a while.

i just love letting my imagination go wild with this whole haveing my own child thing..last night i told matt "can you just imagine..having our own child,we can do whatever we want with it,if we want to take it away with us,we can.we can hoold it wenever we want..its all ours"i just love that thought...this child will look at us the way i look at my parents.the 2 people in my life who have always been right there-the 2 people who know me the best,the 2 people who have seen every step of growth i have taken in my life,the 2 people who i know will love me NO MATTER what i do..thats the 2 people we get to be now.i just love that thought.

if theres one thing i want to teach my kids from the very beginning is to be respectful to there elders.i pray to God this is something that i will always be consistent with.nothing frustrates me more then when i see a child disrespecting an adult,or anyone above them.yet i know its hard to always stay on ur kids about these things..i pray that God will give me patience to teach the child respect,the wisdom to know how to teach them and when to "Sit them down" :) and the love to do all these things out of love and not out of anger. "In Christ all things are possible" :)might wana remind me of this in a few years:)

well i must go.a very dear friend of mine is coming over this morning for coffee and muffins:)God bless!

Week # 20!!! where is the time going??!!its insane how fast this is going-this week marks my half way point.incredible!!it just keeps getting more excited-baby mullet has been moving more and more.although the past couple days i have only felt him/her 1 or 2 times.im a huge fan of www.babycenter.com i go on it regularly and it always fills me in on whats goin on this week with the baby and also how i might be feeling-last week was the week that they think the baby can begin hearing you..so ive been making a special note to read aloud when i have my devotions,or just to talk to it every now and then .Matt thinks its a bit awkward talking to my belly-but i think once he can feel it move it wont seem so strange:)the other night we were watching tv and matt was rubbing my belly i told him just to hold his hand still and when he di i said"this is daddys hand baby mullet,whenever you feel the big hand you know its daddys:)"and about 20 seconds after i said that the baby started wiggleing around-i think matt was a little proud:)hes gana be sucha great daddy.

today i was having one of those"i just cant wait any longer "kind of days-soo i went in the baby room and was figuring out some ways im gana decorate and then i hung up a bunch of the baby clothes i had and emptied out the closet so the baby has closet space:)but i so badly wanted to hold the child in my arms-i did consider gettin a peice of baby clothing and rocking it back and forth but i new that would make the ache in my heart bigger cause i KNOW babies are heavier then that:)soon enough ony-soon enough!:)

wednesday we have our doctor app that was saposed to be alst week but got changed to this week-soo this is the week we could find out what were having BUT we are not going to..although for about 5 small seconds today i thought id really like to know-i quickly pushed that thought aside.

i have a little book i keep by the computer called"a pocketful of promises" its a bunch of verses on certain topics and then love letter from God to us..and today i went to the topic "Gods promises for family but i accidently opened to Gods promises for my dreams..and this is what i read..and i loved it..so fitting seeing as that my dreams of becoming a singer or a nurse has changed to having a family with the man i love,as we follow in the footsteps of the God we love..and HE showed me this..
PRoverbs 13:12 When dreams come true at last,there is life and joy" i love the part "there is LIFE" WOW ..we serve an AWESOME God.
