Week 18

Here's the first of many pictures to mark the growth of my baby bump (not the best, but oh well)! :)  It's fun to see things happening and starting to show a bit more.  Still wish I would pop out more, but that will come before I know it.

This week has brought a new level of pain in my hip, perhaps a pinched nerve.  It can be extremely painful.  I went swimming tonight in hopes to help loosen something...it felt good, but when I got home, it started to hurt again really bad.  Any body got any tips??

    You look so cute! Enjoy the non-popping while you can :) Although, I remember being pregnant with Isabella and wanting those days to come, too. Now, I'm popping out so much that people are giving me those pitied expressions and can't believe when I tell them I still have 2 months to go! I don't have any tips for your hip pain, but maybe a heating pad??

    I have heard that there are chiropractors that specialize in helping pregnant women. Maybe that would help you unpinch and straighten things so that you wouldn't have pain. They have special ways to work with women who are pregnant. Just a thought.

    Leslie your tiny bump is so cute! I'm sure you'll be popping out more before you know it! I'm so sorry about your hip... I'm with Lauren - try a heating pad!

Welcoming strangers into my home

For 16 weeks now, we have had a young refugee couple from Syria living with us. They have been married a little over a year and for the majority of that time have been separated from each other, since he made the journey to Austria alone and got everything in order so that she could come legally.  Let me backtrack a bit and tell you how it all started. As the refugee crisis really started to explode here, facebook was buzzing with articles, videos, pictures, etc. of the situation. I read a lot. I saw a lot. I was moved. I was troubled. But what could I do? I had a three year old and one year old at home.  ... I could teach some German. But when?   ... I could donate clothes and other items that were needed. But that didn't seem like enough. ... I could give money. But I wanted something more tangible.  I would put my youngest to bed and during those days, she needed lots of TLC in order to get to sleep. I kept thinking about the refugees and how t...

Day 18

I've been doing the 30 day praise challenge, that my friend introduced on her blog . It has been really good focusing on all the different reasons we should praise the Lord. Today, day 18, couldn't have come at a better time (well, it would have worked for several other days, but today especially). The verse to start off the devotion is: Do not judge,  and you will not be judged.  Do not condemn,  and you will not be condemend.   Forgive,  and you will be forgiven.    Luke 6:37  Great verse for today, as I got smooshed into an elevator with Zoey. Seriously, the lady behind me couldn't have been any closer to me. I had to learn to get just a tiny bit of distance from her. Talk about uncomfortable. I get pretty frustrated with how rude people are, since my mobility is a bit limited due to bringing a small one along with me everywhere. I've had some close calls of getting on/off trains or trams, simply because no one wants...

the little things

My day is filled with doing little things... wiping noses changing diapers fixing hair brushing teeth doing dishes straightening up books and toys that land everywhere tying shoelaces doing load upon load of laundry folding said laundry putting on hats making sandwiches  putting littles down for a nap and on  and on and on. Sometimes I get tired of the mundane. I get tired of life right now being so .... regular ... every day seems so the same. I was talking to my sister the other day about it and I said, I wouldn't want to change it, but yet sometimes the mundane gets to me. I get restless. I feel like the hamster running round and round the wheel and it's always the same. {just different friends and playdates} Today over breakfast while feeding the baby, I listened to a podcast {ahem, part of one }. And this really got to me: Love well in the little things. With great love .  Which is part of a very big thing - raising a fam...
