Week 6

Well, so far my pregnancy symptoms have been pretty mild besides being more tired than normal, having heavy eyes around 10 every night, having to pee all the time while being so thirsty, and wanting to eat everything in site. Oh one funny craving I have had is Chobani flips! If you have never had one of these, you are seriously missing out! They have all different flavors. My favorite is the almond chocolate coconut one. Basically there are almond slices and dark chocolate pieces in one section by itself, then there is Chobani yogurt with coconut flakes in it in the other section. You just dump the goodies into the yogurt, mix, and enjoy! WOW,  my mouth is watering just thinking about it! Hahaha! SO SO delicious! Pregnancy has been good to me so far, but I realize it is still early in the game. I am praying that the Lord will have mercy on me and I won't have to endure the dreaded morning sickness in weeks to come.

Have I mentioned how THANKFUL I am to have this little baby growing inside of me?! Part of me thought I would never be able to experience this, so what a miracle it is! I am trying to cherish every moment because I am sure it will go by quickly. That is one reason I wanted to start this blog. I want to be able to look back and remember everything that happened in my first pregnancy. It is such an exciting time! I have great peace about this pregnancy, knowing how GOOD the Lord has been in showing me that this baby is a gift from Him. I am so thankful because I think I would be a lot more nervous about everything if that wasn't the case. Whenever I find myself fearing the unknown, I remind myself of this verse:

For God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power and love and self-control. 2 Timothy 1:7

This is very comforting to know that the fear I am experiencing is not from the Lord. I trust His perfect plan... how could I not trust the God who created the universe?? 

Anyways, that's been about it for the 6th week of pregnancy.. more updates later! :)
