Growing Pains

WELL... my little bee-hind has been buzzing around everywhere but here.  Oops!

Only a small piece of our world has changed.... Coach and I are having a little one.  Cheerleader or football player, we aren't sure of which yet, but we are excited!

Pregnancy has been fairly easy and I try not to complain.  Last week I started having severe pain in the baby zone. Since this is the first pregnancy, I wasn't sure what was going on and was somewhat concerned. I had my doctor check my out and she assured me that it was a normal feeling.  Well it sure didn't FEEL normal.  It was uncomfortable.  She smiled and told me that baby was just growing. 

Sigh.  Growing is painful.  Later on I was still feeling uncomfortable and God reminded me of a verse in Scripture.  Isaiah 64:8 says "We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand." Have you ever watched someone work with clay?  Their hands work to form a beautiful masterpiece, but the process involves kneading, pinching, pressure, and molding.  If the clay had feelings, it would certainly experience some pain.  But the end result is beauty. 

Okay God, I get it...  I guess I can deal with the slight aches and pains (and crazy hormones, dreams, and cravings!) along the next few months in order to have a beautiful bouncing baby :)
