With all of our family extended family events, and my only getting Christmas day off, Nick and I didn't have any sort of "Christmas" together. So, we decided we'd have a special New Year's Eve evening. We cooked the above meal together - Bacon Wrapped Fillet Mignon, brown rice, roasted brussell sprouts, and spinach/pear salad. I'm thinking surely little Jordan's developing body appreciated the good eats. It was delicious!!!!
We finished off the evening with crib assembly and nursery furniture rearranging. The nursery is slowly starting to look like one. Next we'll paint the walls grey, hang some bookshelves, and eagerly await the arrival of our Pottery Barn bedding. Fun, fun!
I'm feeling great. Jordan moves a lot now. Nick and others can now feel him kick, and if you watch my belly closely you can see lots of movement.
I've begun to read Shepherding A Child's Heart by Ted Tripp; a highly and widely recommended book about how to parent and discipline your child with the aim of pointing his heart toward God rather than only correcting his behavior. We're praying often for God's preparation of us to be godly parents; not influenced by worldly standards and traditions but rather influenced and guided by the full counsel of the Word of God in our parenting. Shew - just typing that makes me feel intimidated :) :) :)
A 2014 updated belly picture coming soon.......
