Halfway Update!

 We have made it to the halfway point!!! Over the weekend, I turned 20 weeks! I am just overwhelming thankful for making it here! We have 20 weeks left to go and I could not be more excited that we are getting closer to meeting Landon Dale! We have finished our registries on Amazon and at Target. I have already been asked about baby showers, and as many of those that I have been to in my life, I am so thankful that some will be hosted to celebrate Landon coming into this world! 

On Friday, we have our anatomy scan. Please be in prayer that everything goes well. Also, my feet have already started swelling, and while they are way worse symptoms or things that I could be going through right now, my feet simply just hurt! I pray that they won't be like this for the next 20 weeks, but people have told me they probably will be. 

Update on my Blessed Womb group: I cannot believe that our semester for this group is almost over. This journey has been long and tough, but it has led me to being able to meet these amazing women and hopefully help them through their journey as they seek the Lord through this hard time. 

Love you all!

Wake up Sleeper

As of this past weekend we are at 18 weeks! I am so incredibly thankful that we have made it to this point and I pray that baby Landon continues to grow and be healthy! Our next scheduled appointment is on December 2nd for an anatomy scan. 

We had a scare last week and it really threw me for a loop. I went to bed Thursday night fine, then I woke up in the middle of night just feeling like something wasn't right. I go to the bathroom, and I am bleeding. Not heavily, but enough to make me worry. I couldn't go back to sleep. I decided to let Brandon sleep, and I would just tell him what was going on as soon as his alarm went off at 6:15. As I am in the living room on the couch, cramps start to come too. Of course, I googled and I shouldn't have. So Brandon finally gets up and I tell him what's going on. Then I called the doctor as soon as they opened at 8, and the nurse told me I could come in at 11:00. 

On the ultrasound everything looked good. The sweet lady doing the ultrasound didn't see a bleed or anything that concerned her. It was so good to Landon on the ultrasound and know that everything was ok! And in case you haven't seen the gender reveal video...we are having a boy! 

I think that I needed to be woken up! Woken up, as in Katey what have you been doing? You fought hard in prayer for this gift, but now that it is here..where are you? Well, I have been struggling with my quiet time between leading a group, attending a group, and everything pregnancy related. However, this week so far, I have felt so much better physically and spiritually. I've done my daily studies for the Wednesday night group that I attend, and I've gotten prepared for my group on Thursday. I can only pray that God continues to press on my heart to meet with Him every single day! 

If you are struggling with your quiet times/personal time with the Lord, there is no day better than today to get back at it! Find someone to hold you accountable if that's what you need! Pray for guidance, strength.. God knows what you need!
