Fun Little Pregnancy Stories

Yesterday I had my first official tummy touching. David and I went to the local market and ran into our friend, Barb. She was officially the first person to touch my pregnant tummy. I’m actually surprised I made it to 23+ weeks before someone did it!

Back on January 17 I wrote about trimming my Bloglines:




I’ve also deleted several blogs that are primarily about motherhood. I think they are great blogs, but for ME it just gadding about. While they do have good things to say, most of it doesn’t apply to me. And to read their blogs every day when only an occasional entry actually applies to me isn’t the best use of my time.

How funny! I didn’t know it at the time, but I was ten days pregnant. No one will ever convince me that God does not have an incredible sense of timing. Now I have to figure out who I deleted and add them back in!

    LOL – I remember reading that post and thinking, “Lord, this woman really needs a kid” – too funny!

    Congrats on the tummy touching – I get that pretty early on because I pop out so quick.

    Not only is God’s timing incredible, his sense of humor is pretty good too. I think that’s funny! Sounds just like something I would do! 😀

    I am terribly glad those mommy-blogs will now apply to you! God is sooooo good!

For 20+ years, I’ve been writing about following Jesus Christ and making choices based on what is true, beautiful, and eternal. Through purposeful living, self-employment, and homeschooling, our family has learned that freedom comes from a commitment to thoughtfully examine all of life and think for yourself.
