5 months is coming soon.

This week will be 19 weeks and then soon 20 weeks and that will make me 5 months pregnant. I think about this and I'm very excited because time passes so quickly and within 4 months, God will grant us to take the baby in our arms.

Tim and I were thinking and talking about things that the baby needs when he/she is born and we are so happy to think about it.

To think that our lives will change soon in a special and wonderful way is a sensation that can not be described with words, but you who are parents understand what I mean.

One of the things we think about is the times we will get ready to go to the church. Tim and I think about when the baby is born and it will not be just the two of us, because the baby will be with us and then we will have to get the baby ready and bring with us everything that the baby needs and we also have to get ready. And then when the 3 of us are ready, we can head to the church. That is something we like to think about.

It's so beautiful to think about a child. It´s really a great blessing that God gives to us and we are so thankful to God for this beautiful blessing that is coming and will soon be in our hands.

This weekend, I began to feel the baby moving more, and it's really amazing when I feel the baby moving. When I see my tummy in the mirror I am surprised at how different it is, and Tim said, the baby is growing :) My tummy is really not that big, but it's nice to know that our baby is growing and soon will grow more and more :).

I think that God is preparing me to be a mom. I wake up every morning and I can touch my tummy and think about the baby. I begin to feel a strange feeling but it's a very beautiful feeling and I know that God is preparing me. One of my prayers is about a promise that is in the Bible, and is in Psalms 128:3...

"Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house; your sons will be like olive shoots around your table.." NIV

Also it says says in Proverbs 14:1:

¨The wise woman builds her house.¨ NIV

I know that only God can do these things in a woman, and I wish very much that he does this in me. Really he is the vine and it is him that can make us righteous, and I wish very much that he is forming my life to his character and making me into a reflection of his love. That is something that when I think about, my heart starts to burn and I want much more of Christ.

I believe that God has begun to teach me about things that before I did not know. This is a new stage in my life and is a great blessing and I am very grateful to him for all his love and mercy.
