Baby Bryan Blog

Man, I cannot believe how long its been since I posted on here! I didnt think it had been this long until I read the date of the last post. Today I have come down with the 24 hour bug Adam had a couple days ago.. what fun. I wanted to start this week off being productive but I think that is going to have to wait. 

This past friday we had our first baby shower and it was WONDERFUL. It made Adam and I finally feel like oh this is happening and he is going to be here soon! The people at our church are so generous and we were blessed with so much of what we need. I spent the weekend putting it all away and finding places for all his new stuff. I am going to take some pictures of some of the gifts we were given. Not only are our friends generous but they are VERY creative.

I cannot believe Asher and my mom are going to be up here in a week from tomorrow!  I am so excited to see them and the kids and it is just one more milestone we will cross before baby boy can come!  

The little boy is growing everyday and I am ready to get him out of here!  I am starting to sound like a crazy women when I am talking and all of a sudden I yell "ouch" mid-sentence.  I am deff. ready to have my body back.. thats for sure.

It is very cool to be laying down and watch my stomach move and know that it is because of him.

I will hopefully get some images posted soon.. until then happy monday!

I ran across this today and it brought tears to my eyes.. its everything and more I wished I could put into words.  That is not one of my giftings though.

A Mark, a scar, an imperfection. A flaw

My body,my temple, I thought I would always have it all

The smooth skin not a blemish to be seen

I was perfection, what’s happening?

Does this new road map on my body define me?

I shouted, I screamed, I refused to think this is how it would be.

I bought creams, and gadgets, and scientific experiments

Low and behold after hundred of dollars my stretch marks were still bold

And it hit me like a ton of bricks

I am not my skin, that I live within

These marks define me not

I stand naked in my flawed perfection gazing at my reflection

I am still me, with a few additions to see

I am perfectly stretch marked and happy to be.
