What I'm Loving Wednesday

                                              What I'm Loving Wednesday!

I hope everyone is having a good week so far. I mean, it IS Wednesday. The weekend is almost here.

I'm joining  http://littledaisymay.blogspot.com with a "What I'm Loving Wednesday" post.

The first thing I'm loving is that today marks the one week countdown of finding out if "Baby C" is a boy or girl. As soon as I find out I will be shopping ! 

I'm loving my husband. I love him being "the man of the house". I love his love for the Lord. I love his corny jokes and silly laugh. 

I'm loving that fall is coming...well, Florida fall. We went to Hobby Lobby and purchased a few fall decorations and fall-scented candles. I wish I could drink the pumpkin flavored coffee items now but it's worth the sacrifice. 

Have a blessed day!

Sleep = non here

Ah......What I would give to be in such a deep sleep as the little one above.  Ever since becoming pregnant I  just can not seem to sleep through the night. I'm not sure if it's because I have to get up to empty my bladder or I just can't seem to get comfortable. Now, I'm no where near the point of having a big belly in my way but if I lay on one side too long I have to rotate. I would love to sleep on my tummy but guess that's out of the question. Another reason may be that I'm thinking about too much. I realize this is a personal problem and can only be fixed by prayer. I don't really worry about anything but my mind is constantly going. Sometimes I sing songs, think about people, or just count.....and count. The one good thing about this lack of sleep is that my body will be prepared for waking up at all hours of the night to help the little one.

A little about me

Please bare with me as I get this blog up and going. I keep telling everyone how I would love to start a blog and then it just seems to get pushed to the side. I figured with a baby coming I REALLY needed to start blogging mostly to keep track of my pregnancy. Use the blog as my own diary and if people want to read along, great! So, for those of you reading (if any) I want to give a little background on myself and my family.

                                                     Name: Kaleigh (pronounced Kaylee)

                                                                      Age: 26

                                            Married to Jack on June 25, 2011 in Melbourne FL

Moved to Bonita Springs last July. From one coast of Florida to the other.

We have a puppy, well he's 4, named Rufus who we adopted last November. I love him

I also inherited a cat, appropriately name Kitty, when I married Jack. He's a softy

We are in the process of moving out of our tiny 1 bed 1 bath place into a 3/3. I don't what I'm going to do with all that room! Pics to come once we are officially settled in.

We will be welcoming our first child on February 15, 3013. At least that's when he/she is suppose to arrive.

I work at a church in Naples as an administrative assistant. It's a very busy church so there isn't much time to be bored. Except in off season, a.k.a summer. It's a nice break though for a few short months. Jack is a Landscape Architect. No, he doesn't cut grass he makes plans for big communities. He loves it.

He are both followers of Christ. We attend a Calvary Chapel and couldn't be more greatful for our church family. They are truly a blessing to be around. We teach the youth at the church and are excited to see it grow. I think back to the times in my life when I was without the Lord and think " I don't deserve to be where I am today" but I then realize our God is a forgiving God and only wants the best for us.

Well, that's probably more than you cared to know but there it is. Thanks for stopping by.
