29 Weeks and Another Move on the Way


Jeff and I had a real 'case of the Mondays' yesterday. Before lunch, he received a call from our letting agent, who informed us that our landlord is now in a position where she needs to sell and not rent out the property we live in. We have only been living here since mid-December and now have 2 months to find a new home. A lot in me wants to be angry, bitter, and anxious, but what good would that do? I don't think entertaining questions as to why this is happening would be helpful, even though part of me wants to. Honestly, part of me wants to wallow with self pity in this situation. 

Time and time again though, Philippians 4:6-7 has been a great comfort.

do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Prayer helped me through Monday night, and I know it will continue to do so. I'm reminded of God's love through Jeff and Little M. This situation could be worse, and I keep telling myself that to keep some perspective. There are so many things to be thankful for. How blessed we still are!

As we are making this transition, I do ask for your prayers. They are greatly appreciated. 

How far long? 29 weeks
Baby size? about 17 inches and 2.9 pounds 
Total weight gain? I actually have an update here - 20 pounds.
Maternity clothes? Thanks to Mothercare and H&M {and Jeff for waiting outside each store while I tried clothes on - by the way, who thought having 1 changing room was a good idea?} I should be set for the remainder.
Sleep? Still sleeping and getting enough of it right now. I'm enjoying it and reminding myself this will all change once Little M is here. 
Best moment(s) this week? Visiting the Mum2Mum Market on Saturday and buying some cute clothes for our boy. Also, feeling him move during our first 'official' British barbeque with Ben and Katy on Sunday.
Miss anything? Life without heartburn!
Movement? Yes, so much wonderful movement. I like to look down and view the movements from the outside. They've become more noticeable and forceful every day.
Food Cravings? Nectarines
Anything making you queasy or sick? Nope
Gender? Boy!!!
Labor signs? Nope
Belly button in or out? In
Wedding ring on or off? On
Happy or moody most of the time? Happy but a bit emotional because of the impending move.
Looking forward to? First trip to Wales this weekend with Jeff, Ben, Katy and Monk.
