Beauty For Ashes...

"...beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor." Isaiah 61:3

And that's the way the cookie crumbles...


I honestly just named the post this to make my sister in law laugh. I like to quote Bruce Almighty for her. ;)

But seriously people- I think I gots me a big ol' baby. I went to the doctor yesterday to get all my blood work, files, papers, meds and "what-nots" I'll need to travel next week. I am 25 weeks and measuring 29!!! YIKES! She said that doesn't nessarily mean I have a big baby, it could mean I have a lot of fluid. So if that is the case then- Yes, Brittany, you can have some of mine for your little girl! teheh! I've gained some weight too... like I wasn't gaining much at all for the first 17 weeks, and now... well, lets just say I caught up a little too much. The reason we are thinking maybe the weight is more fluid is b/c I've only gained in my belly so far. But I guess we'll find out come June, huh?

I don't have issues with chips and sodas or anything. In fact, I'm awesome at drinking water. I rarely every drink soda. (It's those confounded milkshakes!) So no more sweets for Lindy! I'll gladly accept any fruits though. Maybe you all know me better than that. I think I'll just go down to 1 dessert a week. I mean Sam Swaim is making me a Cherry Pie. I'm positive he will be disappointed if I don't at least have half a slice. Seriously though people- don't try tempting me with sweets when I get home. It's fruits and veggies for this girl! I've really tried to be healthy this pregnancy and apparently it's still not working out so well.

This pic is for those who prefer me to be a bit more modest:


now...don't look down!



Would ya look at that!!! told ya... and i'm ONLY 25 weeks! Somehow I don't think I'll see 40 weeks...

If you think about it and the Lord lays it on your heart, say a little prayer for the Thompson's travel. I'm getting fairly uncomfortable when I sit for a while (I'm not complaining, just stating that facts) in my back and left side. So just pray I can get comfortable and/or that I can sleep a little bit on the plane so I don't lose it.

See you guys in a week!! ;)

  1. Too big? Nonsense! You look great! I just got home last night & am getting caught up on everything. I'll be praying for you during your travel because I was very uncomfortable on my 2 1/2 hr flight to FL. Like, I wouldn't do it again. But you'll do great:) Just tell yourself it WILL be soooooo worth it. Miss you!
