It didn’t take long for us to get adjusted back to living in
Texas. I am twenty-nine weeks pregnant. We are living with my parents and it’s
been fun living with my husband in my old high school bedroom, a place where
boys used to not be allowed to hang out. However, we are excited to move into
our home next month! With me getting a job where I work mostly from home and us
finding a house that was supposed to be sold to someone else, God has continued
to show us so much favor in our process of moving back. Between moving, finding
a job, finding a house and growing a human I have definitely been overwhelmed
at times. We are so excited to be around most of our family again but it has
been an adjustment to actually have to ‘make time’ for our marriage. Living in
a place where you don’t know very many people means you hang out with each
other, every day. Now we live here and we both love to be around our family and
friends but you realize after awhile that alone time can be hard to come by. My
pregnancy has been pretty amazing. Our sweet Zizi is healthy and so I am but
just like most pregnant ladies, I’m a little
emotional, especially when it comes to Zach. So there have been tears (from me)
about missing him even though we live together and I see him everyday. Did you
know it’s possible to miss someone you see every day? This is something that I have learned,
because seeing someone with your eyes doesn’t mean you’re spending quality time with them. Quality time looks different in every
relationship and so Zach and I are trying to figure out what quality time looks
like for us. Most of the time, I am honestly cool with the tv being on, I just
want to be laughing at a show together.
Other times, I need like a two-minute hug when he gets home from work (I’m
slightly needy and I’m okay with it). Continuing to recognize changes that need
to be made in our marriage is so helpful because during the times that we don’t
know what needs changing, we do not communicate productively at all. That being
said, we are getting ready and very excited for Zizi to be here! We just
completed our Bradley Method birthing classes and can’t wait to welcome this
little love of our lives to the world. Feeling her move, feeling God knit her together in my womb is life changing. I know
she will be a world changer because she has already radically changed ours!

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.
