The Joy of Becoming a Mother | One Blessed Momma

Tuesday, July 6th, the small letters “pregnant” appeared on the Clear Blue test.

My heart started to explode with happiness, my lifelong dream of being a mom was coming true and I couldn’t wait to tell my husband.

The following months were filled with puking six plus times a day and not being able to find anything that would help. I had a lot of “free time” to think and pray. I tried very hard to keep my mentality positive and praise God for the opportunity and blessing to carry a baby and that he made my body able to do this.

Seventeen weeks later the morning sickness was over and it was time for the sweet moment to have an ultrasound and find out if everything was growing and developing properly, oh and of course the fun part, finding out if our little bean was a girl or boy. Spoiler alert, it’s a girl!

My husband is the youngest of 7, and I can say I got the sweetest in-laws. All my sisters have been the best support system; from getting me maternity clothes and snacks that I thought I couldn’t live without at the time to throwing the most magical baby shower and spoiling our sweet little girl with all the bows and outfits a girl could need.

My nieces and nephews cannot wait for their new baby cousin to be here. They all hug and love on my belly any chance they get. Elgin, she’s 2, will sit on my lap and talk to my belly; she’ll sit there telling stories and laugh and have a whole conversation. The best part is feeling our little girl wiggle and respond to Elgin talking to her; best friends in the making.

“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not on thine own understanding. In all ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths”

Proverbs 3:5 keeps running through the back of my head. As our due date gets closer, 31 days to be exact” the nerves are starting to set in. I keep having to remind myself that the mind is deceitful and can be persuaded easily. I have to keep my faith in the Lord and that he will take care of me and my little family through all this.

Our little princess will be here in a few weeks and we are so ready to meet her!

In the meantime, I will be folding clothes, cleaning house, washing walls, this nesting thing is real; but I will also be praying and strengthening my faith to be the best I can be to be able to raise a little who loves God.
