Oh my goodness! I can't believe I'm pregnant!

"Oh my goodness! I can't believe I'm pregnant!" ...This is the common phrase I think daily as I'm reminded of this little baby growing inside of me! It still feels so unreal...I'm going to be a mom?!?! Andrew's going to be a dad?!?!

Sure enough...We're almost halfway there actually...

I get a little chuckle everytime someone tells me...to A. Get plenty of sleep now (you can't "store" up sleep, can you? I mean I know it's important to be well rested...but I won't necessarily be drawing from that "well" of good sleep once the baby comes....) 2. Life will NEVER be the same (oh really? I'm glad you cleared that up for us...I was pretty sure I'd pop a baby out and life would just go on as normal....negative...what is normal, anyway? I've never known normal. I don't ever want to know normal. "Normal" too easily becomes complacency and lack of trust and faith in the One who truly matters.)

Andrew and I recently moved to Lebanon, Indiana. What a different pace of life Lebanon brings...I haven't left the house much...as there isn't a WHOLE lot to do. I did venture to the Big Lots & Kroger this week. You know...It's probably good for my mental health to "get out" every now and then.

It's been incredible for Andrew being closer to work...not as early of mornings and not as late of nights...

I'm very grateful!

The house is feeling more like home...although I find myself chilling in our bedroom throughout the day...mostly because it's the warmest room in the house. We keep our thermostat at 65 degrees...trying to cut energy cost... Afterall, we have a BABY on the way...and I'm currently not working...every penny saved really does matter!

So here we are....while still adjusting to married life...we're preparing for married life with a baby...hello to parenting!

Today I got online to do a baby registry at J.C. Penny...yeah....I registered for one thing so far...after looking and looking and just getting overwhelmed! So many options! This is all so new! I decided I'd better wait for Andrew to get home so he could be involved in this little process.

Oh for those who may read this and wonder....no worries...Malachi, our dog, has adjusted very well to living in Lebanon. He likes it...He has a fenced yard now and finds the stairwell quite fun to run up and down!

Happy Wednesday!
