Tyler and I drove out to one of my favorite fields this morning to take some pictures. This came about because of a sponsorship by Stride Rite and Lucky Magazine which I will tell you about later, but even though this was for a work-related reason, I am so glad I have these photos. They are precious to me. Tyler did really well, right? I am holding onto these moments of being with sweet Piper; she and I share such a bond, and Trevor and I will forever cherish the first two and a half years of her life that we spent with just her. Another baby will be here at the end of January, and our life will be forever changed in the best possible way. I am so excited, so eager to meet this new little life, and also sensing that this will be major for our family.
Pregnancy has brought deep, strong emotions to the surface lately, and I have been feeling weary and out of balance. I have been relatively secluded for the past few weeks, mainly because of an abundance of work and traveling, and this is beginning to take a toll on me. Because I have been so exhausted, I have had to use all available energy to love on Piper, keep our house running (but barely), and fulfill my commitments for work, and there hasn't been much left over. Anyway, it is just a season, and it will pass. I think it is just good to write this to remind myself that pregnancy is harder than I remember it being. Lots harder. But also so full of joy and anticipation. It's such a time of contrast.
Trevor is coming close to beginning his final year of law school. When I first started writing this blog, he had begun his 1L year. He is going to be such a good attorney. He is so passionate about what he wants to do. I was thinking about doing a little vlog with him, talking with him about his hopes for his work and his heart for people. Let me know if you think that is a good idea.
I don't have much to pass on today... except for this. I love what she wrote, and her blog is such an encouragement to me. I read that post at exactly the right time. God used it to lift my spirits and remind me that the gospel is real and that He has a plan full of beauty and redemption for our family.
Love to you readers.
xoxo
