Pictures!

I took some pictures today!!

Well, I took this one the other day. Can you believe one of our big windows in our living room cracked?! It started out in the corner and then spread across the whole window. They already came to replace it.
I went to Hobby Lobby the other day and found some candle holder things that I liked to go with my mantle picture. I also got that picture frame, but it needs something else on that side to go with it, I think. And, I still have to print out a picture to put in it too. I'm not a decorator at all and really don't like spending money on things for the house, but all of these things were half off.
We got a great rain storm earlier this morning and another storm is rolling in. I just took this picture a little while ago. The waves are really picking up. Tropical Storm Don is hitting the southern coast of TX and bringing us some much needed rain!
Okay, well here it is. My 25 week picture. :D I feel way bigger than this picture looks!
My sweet blog friend, Amanda, sent me a bunch of the cutest little boy clothes from her son. A bunch of them still had the tags on them! I was so excited and so appreciate her doing that! Thank you SO much, Amanda!! I just wanted to say that this pregnancy has been such a blessing, not just because we are having a sweet little baby, but because I feel like the Lord has used it to show me what a difference having Him in the center of my life has made. I'm not sure if that's really the way to say it, but what I mean is that when I had Lily, I felt so alone. There was no baby shower, no friends sending me gifts, no meals, no help (except Morgan, of course) and it was really hard because my Mom was no longer here. I did it completely alone and actually, I don't remember her birth being anything other than a beautiful bright spot in my life after so much tragedy. But, I never expected us to have any more kids and so I used to think how neat it would have been to be able to share a pregnancy with my blog friends and my new church family and real life friends. What an amazing gift the Lord has given me in blessing us with Matthew! I just get emotional thinking about the baby shower that is being planned by my dear friend, the support I will have from my church family, and the sweetest ways that all of my blog friends have made me feel so special and loved during this time.
And last but not least, I had to get Matthew a little Houston Astros outfit. :D I found it on clearance at Target the other day and I have my eye on a University of Houston (where I graduated) one I saw there too.....I'm just waiting to see if it will go on clearance too. Ha!
