Who put that there?

I went to the doctor this morning and just before getting on the scale, I commented to the nurse that I was scared because I've gone through quite the growth spurt since my las appointment.  She laughed and agreed wholeheartedly.  (Thankfully my weight is not increasing quite as quickly as my midsection is... I'd only gained 3 lbs since my last visit!)

So here I am at 25 weeks pregnant!  Only 2 more weeks before I'm in my 3rd trimester. Then I'll be in the home stretch.  Those of you who have been pregnant know that there's nothing "homestretch" about the last trimester.  It's a beast, but at least we'll be that much closer to meeting our little boy (who still has no name!!!).

It looks like there's a soccer ball in my dress and it actually feels like he's playing soccer in there, so who knows.  Maybe God gave the little guy a tiny little soccer ball to play with for a while.  :)

Yesterday, Eva asked me to paint her fingernails like her friend from church.  So I did, and then told her she had to sit very still so they could dry.  She was sitting on her little stool in the living room while I went to finish washing dishes.

This is what I heard:

"Dear Jesus, thank you that we paint my fingernails.  Thank you for Mimi, Ty-ty, and Annie.  We love you.  Amen."

It was exactly what my heart needed to hear: her little heart just being thankful with the little things in life.

Update:  Everything is still looking good on the "home"front.  Our inspection has been scheduled for Thursday afternoon.  We would covet your prayers for that.  There shouldn't be anything wrong with the house, but you can occasionally get an inspector who nitpicks everything.  Just continue to pray that everything goes smoothly and we can close the deal on March 27th!  Praise you, Jesus!!!!
