Entering the Third Trimester

I can now be found….
  • launching myself from bed in the morning
  • sticking my head out to get a glimpse of my feet over my belly to be sure my shoes match
  • cutting out patterns for toys for my baby
  • fighting with the cats as they try and steal the ribbon from my craft room for my baby's new toys
  • shopping for christmas gifts now and starting up my christmas card before it gets too late to do it and I'm just bigger and tired all the time;
but mostly I'm just waiting, waiting for this little guy to get here and turn my world upside down.

Baby's Song

I found a song for our baby.  It's by Kutless called What Faith Can Do.  Its a beautiful song with a powerful message that I hope my little boy will come to love and live. 

What Faith Can Do by Kutless from their It Is Well Album

Songwriter: Scott Davis, Scott Krippayne

Everybody falls sometimes
Gotta find the strength to rise
From the ashes and make a new beginning
Anyone can feel the ache
You think it’s more than you can take
But you're stronger, stronger than you know
Don’t you give up now
The sun will soon be shining
You gotta face the clouds
To find the silver lining

I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn’t ever end
Even when the sky is falling
I’ve seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That’s what faith can do

It doesn’t matter what you’ve heard
Impossible is not a word
It’s just a reason for someone not to try
Everybody’s scared to death
When they decide to take that step
Out on the water but
It’ll be alright
Life is so much more
Than what your eyes are seeing
You will find your way
If you keep believing

I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn’t ever end
Even when the sky is falling
I’ve seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That’s what faith can do

Overcome the odds
You don't have a chance
(That’s what faith can do)
When the world says you can’t
It’ll tell you that you can!

I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn’t ever end
Even when the sky is falling
And I’ve seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That’s what faith can do
That's what faith can do!
Even if you fall sometimes
You will have the strength to rise
