Baby Bump

Well, obviously I am terrible at this whole blogging thing. I suppose I have an excuse though. We have been a little pre-occupied the past 6 months. Josh and I found out on April 4th that we are going to have a new addition in the house! Since then, its kind of been a roller coaster. I was very sick until 17 weeks, so I didn't do much at all but go from the couch to our bed. On week 17-we found out we are having a baby boy! We had the name picked out since we found out we were having a baby, so there was no deciding left to do....There will be a little Harrsion "Tuck" Thigpen crawling around here shortly.. We are both so excited and cannot wait to meet him. The Lord has truly blessed us these past couple months in preparing us for his arrival.

Appointments are going well right now-everything looks great. Tuck is growing just at the rate he should be and my breathing capabilities are getting less and less :)... But I am thoroughly enjoying this time, uncomfortable or not. It is just amazing what God can create. Since I have been holding this precious being inside of me-my perspective on things have changed so much already. The fact that the Lord chose me to keep him safe throughout these 40 weeks is so humbling. I mean, somewhere around December 6th, Tuck is going to be here and he is ours. All ours. The Lord gave us this little being and trusts us with him. What an honor....I am 27 weeks now and like I said things are going great. I enter my 3rd trimester next week and I couldn't be more excited. I have showers coming up as well in the next couple weeks, which will just make this experience all the more fun! We also have moved into a new house since I last blogged. We were so lucky to have gotten the house we did. It has so much for room then the last-which will be great in December! (Especially for the help to come stay ;) Hint..Hint...) We have been here a little over a month and are really enjoying it. Along with the house, I have tried to be a better "cooking wife" as well..Haha... I am not very good at being creative but I am exploring new recipes and it has been fun. I am really interested in making Tuck's baby food-so this new exploring side will come in handy with that project.
On another note, we are very ready for Fall weather in this house. Today has been so chilly and gloomy for the first time this year-and it made me so excited! I didn't end up having to stay at work today, so I went straight to the grocery store to get everything I would need to make chili in the crock pot-and it is smelling so good right now :)! I feel like once the fair gets here in October-its just fun, fun, fun from there on out. I love the holidays. And I have a feeling this is going to be one of the best Holiday Season's we have had yet. Might be a little crazy at first, but we are ready to take it on!
Well, that's all for today. I really am going to try and be better at this from now on...Especially for myself-and wanting to keep track of things for Tuck.. Please keep us in your prayers as we go through these last 3 months. We are so excited for everyone to meet our little man!
