The pregnancy is progressing well. There are days I am pretty certain that I am carrying Chuck Norris' baby, because this kid is ROUGH!! Levi and I speculate that he has more room to roll and kick and punch and such because my uterus has done this once before, and probably stretched more readily than it did with Oliver. Still...ouch.
We are moving on the the negotiation stage of the relocating to Colorado process. We'll see what happens. For now, we aren't stressing about it (Levi and I barely talk about it anymore). We're just going to see what happens...no reason to stress about it, right?
My birthday is quickly approaching...I'm going to be 29! I can't believe how OOOOOLD I feel, lol. And to think that I'm almost thirty! I never could quite picture life after like, 22. I have no idea how I ended up here. I have to say, though...it's a sweet life. I have so much to be thankful for! My sweet husband, my adorable little boy. I have some really great folks in my life that I can depend on for anything. I have learned to prune my life to exclude the things that bring me down and the include the things that help me grow. This has been a pruning time in my life...cutting back branches to let God cultivate growth in those areas. I sense the time has just begun. With a new baby on the way, I will have much less time for nonsense. I am almost relieved! Makes it a bit easier to cut out the stagnant parts of my life.
I have been reading the Sonoma Diet book, and am liking what I've read so far. Some parts scare me (like no butter, sugar, or junk, basically, lol), but Lauren is right...it seems to be the most liberal diet around. Very little is restricted, and the stuff that is restricted is restricted because it's just straight up crap. It's bad for you! Sugar, processed foods...it's bad for you. I haven't even seen Food, Inc. and I know that. ;o) Anyway, I have been living it up bad foods wise the past few days. I'll think, "Oh man, I can't have bacon when I start the SD! I'll have some now. Oooh, cake! Can't eat that after April, better have a slice now!" Haha, it probably will throw off my pregnancy weight gain, but man. I am loving it right now. ;o) I am excited to get one of the cookbooks when it is re-released. Hooray!

Props to you for pruning out the stagnant parts of your life. This is something I really have a hard time with. And I really love the pruning branches metaphor!
Also, awesome that you guys are not too stressed out about CO. If it's God's will, it will happen. We are learning this one, too. Chris' match day is coming up in February, and that's when we find out which hospital he will be working- nervous/excited!
Eat some cake and bacon for me :) Sneak-peak: I did find a whole grain brownie mix and chocolate chip oatmeal cookie mix that are diet friendly & I have every intention of eating the heck out of those!
Thank you, Lauren! It is much easier said than done. Also, I can't take credit for metaphor...I'm fairly certain it came from one of our devotions from last year. But it's a great metaphor! When you feel like God is taking things away, it may be so that He can bless you in other ways. Usually, it's painful (just like cutting off a limb!), but in my experience? It ends up being worth it.
Praying about your match day jitters! I know Chris is excited to get to work!
I will gladly partake in bacon and cake for you. Don't worry! You'll be at your goal weight soon enough, and then YOU can have the occasional bacon slice. Turkey bacon, if it'll make you feel better. ;o)
