35 weeks

 Finally...
We got our maternity photos back! They were taken at 33 weeks and I am glad we did them then. I was just round enough! Our youngest Zoe was not in the best mood but her shenanigans proved to be cute in photo form as kids are so good at doing.

 My newest read.... A Kathryn Kulman book... It is regarding the Holy Spirit as a person..There are eleven messages from her radio show. She is still so relevant and enlightening today. She has such a daughters heart!

Exercise.....  I try to walk BEFORE dinner now before the need for resting kicks in.


Health...I have sworn of coffee! I have had Adrenal Fatigue Syndrome in the past, and I can always tell when one of my adrenal glands is about to shut down. I listen to my body for I have learned it only complains if there is a true issue. I feel better and I am just resting more than usual. It feels good to know your body well enough to incorporate a little preventitive medicine when needed.



 Weight Gain.. Gain is at 20lbs

 Activity....She still has a lot of breathing room to move or she is just determined to squiggle regardless of cramped quarters.

Looking forward to this week...
Upcoming shower this Saturday!

As a family..... We will be sending a card and small gift to a child we have sponsored for over a year.

Spiritual Leader Update.......Thanksgiving has been a success with devotions led by Mike with note card help. This involved dessert, notecards under our plates to write thankful thoughts about the person to our right, as well as more leaves for our tree, along with the five kernel's of corn tradition.
The pilgrims tried their seeds in the soil here in America and nothing happened. So after a bad season the Indians gave them some new seeds of corn. As a way to remember this act of kindness the pioneers began placing the kernels on their plates at feast time to remind them of Gods Love, The freedom to worship, the Indians, family, and friends. We picked up each kernel and gave thanks for five things this year that happened to make us glad!




Accomplishments:
We rearranged the bed room to better accommodate the co sleeper. It is way more functional now!
I like a little change. It is good for the soul.
