I realized yesterday morning, that I was content. For the first time, in a long time, I wasn't wishing the months away. This pregnancy has been full of decisions and worry for me. Not for any specific reason, or because I was having complications, but simply an uneasy mind. But yesterday, as I sat in my living room on a cool damp fall morning, sipping my hot tea, I thought about how happy I am.
I don't know if it's the weather, the season, the temperature, being in my third trimester... but God has blessed me with a contented spirit. For the moment I am able to enjoy being pregnant. I wish I was better with words, so that I could better describe this feeling and the difference it brings, but these few faltering ones will have to suffice.
I can't wait until I get to hold my little girl in my arms, but until then, I'm going to enjoy feeling her kicks and pushes; I'm going to hold my big boys and enjoy the uninterrupted time with them. I'm going to make soup and pot roast and all those other warm fall comfort foods I'm craving; and I'm going to enjoy this fall season. I know I'm strange, but these cooler temperatures make me happy.

A place to catch up on our family going ons and a few of my thoughts every now and then.
About Me
Songs I'm singing
When you say nothing at all
It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word, you light the dark
Try as I may, I could never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all.
All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near you drown out the crowd
Old Mr. Webster could never define
What's being said between heart and mine
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all
Turn me on
Like a flower waiting to bloom
Like a light bulb in a dark room
I'm just sitting here waiting for you
To come on home and turn me on
Like the desert waiting for the rain
Like a school kid waiting for the spring
I'm just sitting here waiting for you
To come on home and turn me on
My poor heart it's been so dark
Since you've been gone
After all you're the one who turns me off
You're the only one who can turn me back on
My hi-fi is waiting for a new tune
My glass is waiting for some fresh ice cubes
I'm just sitting here waiting for you
To come on home and turn me on
Turn me on
It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart

I don't think it's strange at all! Autumn is my favorite season, and to me, the cool air definitely signals a fresh start. Glad you're feeling so content. :)
I'm happy that you're happy. I LOVE fall too. The cooler weather, the colors, Pumpkin spice lattes and the food. I'm on an apple kick right now. I'm eating apple squash soup, grilled cheese with apples and carmelized onions and apple crumble cake for dessert. I can't stop cooking with apples.
It isn't strange! These fall days have brought contentment to my heart as well. I feel so blessed.
Thanks for your thoughts and prayers.
