SEVEN FLOWERS: {My Pregnancy Journal}

Seven Flowers

I awoke one morning with this name on my mind. I knew God wanted me to use it for the title of this blog. I believe God clothes the flowers of the field in magnifigance yet He says how much more will He clothe us His children?

I have seen His hand on our family, yet I know we are only a part of the vast family of God. I myself cannot wait for heaven to find out all that HE has done in my fellow family of believers life. The WOW book contains true accounts of his miracles and intervention. I am blessed to be one of the editors of the 2nd edition.

I will update as the book is soon to be published as well as take any stories you would like to share.

I will edit and send you an updated copy of your story for your viewing and approval. The final selections for the book will be prayerfully considered.

In His Service,

Nicole Nolley

I am 30 weeks.

I am having my fourth girl.

She has a very capable big brother, Josh, who is getting quite used to me telling him he is having another sister.

She is due Christmas Eve.

I hope it makes her always feel special.

We are still undecided on a name. I feel obligated to name her something that means Christmas.
My sister and niece have two of the three names that I know of that mean Christmas...Noelle and Natalie. The only one left is Natasha. Mike is not fond of this name. Hmmmmm....

We have narrowed it down to two names. We have decided to wait until we see her face to decide which of the two names it will be.

I have to have my two cups of coffee a day. I am so glad she tolerates my vice. My last pregnancy with Zoe did not agree with this daily ritual I have become quite used to!

She is a mover and a shaker. Thank God she does not get the same pleasure from pinching me in utero like Zoe did...(natural born tease that one!)

I am getting pretty excited to meet our Christmas Miracle. So is the rest of our gang! Pretty awesome family gift!

HOW FAR ALONG

30 weeks.

TRIMESTER

3rd

BABY SIZE

TOES

no longer an issue..lol!

MOVEMENT

She is a mover and a shaker! Her jabs are so sharp they almost make me seasick sometimes. I feel like she may have dropped. Lets see what they say at the midwives appointment I have for next week.

CRAVINGS

I am not so hungry at all lately! I drink an awful lot of Soy Milk since I have a milk allergy. I am really enjoying putting banana flavored straws in my milk! YUM! Fruit smoothies and my two cups of coffee a day keep me sane!

NAUSEA/MORNING SICKNESS

Gone in Jesus name! My first trimester was tough to get through, but that is all behind me now!

MATERNITY CLOTHES

Men's extra large undershirts have extended my wardrobe! Thank God the layered look never goes out of style!

BEST MOMENT OF THE WEEK

Zoe hugging me real tight...then dropping to hug my leg! She told me after I complained about not being able to lift her cause of baby.".it is time for her to come OUT!"...Roger that!

WHAT AM I MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO

Seeing her face so I know what to call her other than her middle name Grace!

Nicole...what a beautiful time to have a baby! I came here after I posted my comment on the home page,which when you've read it you will see how I envy you :)

Noelle is a beautiful name...a friend who had her baby around Christmas called her Christianna, for Jesus. I love your last line...somehow no matter what names I'd picked out, I didn't settle until I'd seen my babies too!

God bless you and your little ones!
