In a 'Thoughtful' state

Well, it is 730 in the morning and I have been awake since at least 515 this morning. I tried to go back to sleep but found that in between my bathroom runs and thoughts I just couldn't fall back to sleep. Trying not to be too loud (I didn't want to wake Dan) I got out of bed grabbed as much as I could from the nightstand and headed to the kitchen. Lately I have been waking up quite thirsty so I poured a cold glass of water and sat down with  a hand full of clementines. Clementines have become one of my favorite snacks being pregnant.. they're delicious.

It's been quiet.. all I can hear are cars driving by and the sound of our clock ticking in the living room. Parker has also been quite active this morning which its always fun to feel him move about. Maybe its the cold water. I can't help but think about the silence and how in only 6 weeks our home will have a different sound and a different feel to it. I am overwhelmed with excitement and am so thankful for the 'quiet time' as well as for the joy that fills my heart in thinking about where God has us and where He is taking us. I look forward to this new journey with Dan and our little boy and pray that God will continue to grow us in Him and reveal Himself to us through this new chapter of our lives and that through this journey we will honor the Lord and take the time to give thanks and praise Him for his amazing love and faithfulness. 

My lack of sleep this morning may also have a bit to do with my excitement for the day. Today is a big day. We get to pick up our changing table (finally), we are getting our rocking chair cleaned, and I have my baby shower this afternoon at 2. I can't wait!!! Thank you to all who are involved.. I am excited!

I apologize for the randomness of this entry.. It's early.
