5 Month Bumpdate

23 weeks, 5 months of life for our little Baby V. I am and will always be so amazed at our God of miracles. The miracle of life is just that, a miracle. For God to create a body to create another body just blows my mind. As I continue to read about the development of our baby boy I am so humbled to know that God has chosen me to be his mama. And even more grateful to have such a loving husband and papa to be along side of me during this journey, he has a lot of grace towards me during this season.

Up to now I have had a pretty smooth journey. My bellybutton is in this odd transition that just makes me laugh every time I look at it. My nose has developed superpowers which is a blessing and a curse depending on the scent being smelled. I am fully embracing this double chin that I am rocking and reminding myself that this body won't be like this forever.

I love feeling my son's movements and have even spotted my belly moving from the powerful punches and kicks he gives his mama. He responds to our voices and also any type of music that is playing in the car. He likes to jam alongside of us! And I promise you, this boy already has a solid sense of rhythm. I haven't been craving anything strange however, I do get picky and more specific about my food every now and then. As he continues to grow the time between restroom stops has decreased for me. It's been important to not only know where the emergency exits are at all times but also where the restroom is. Don't get in the way of a pregnant woman who needs to pee.

Time has seriously been flying by, I cannot believe that we're getting closer and closer to meeting our son. To seeing what color his eyes are and if mine and Fabian's curls will be passed onto another generation. To revealing to the world the name that God gave us for our little bear cub. We will continue to await your arrival with so much anticipation!

Adios 2016 | Hola 2017

2016 was a year of sitting back and watching God's hands at work over our lives. Not only did we get engaged and married in 2016 but we also announced that God was adding to our family with a little one (baby Vera to arrive in June 2017). This whole year we've been surrounded by family and friends celebrating life. We don't plan on changing that, cause we sure do love our family and our friends. 

Engaged. 

Married. 

Baby. 

Some other awesome things happened in 2016, our church released a new single called 'Plans for Me' that has been an anthem for our lives as well. Being able to record with family was a dream come true!

We were able to travel to Michigan a few times to be with family, celebrate Gramma's life before she went to be with the Lord, and also celebrate with family and friends who were unable to attend our wedding.

After our wedding we were blessed to spend a week in San Diego. It was the perfect way to start our lives together as we soaked in the sights and the sun! We were also blessed by family who wanted to celebrate our marriage with us.

 We both grew in our relationship with God in 2016, as well as gained confidence in our leadership as members of Tree of Life Worship. We've grown in unity and have sensed the presence of God like never before. 

Going into a new year always has us thinking and coming up with a list of of goals and "to-do's." This year as husband and wife we do have a list of goals but as always we will continue to allow God to guide our steps and be obedient to what He says. We have teamed up in agreement that in 2017 we will change our prayer life by stopping to thank God and be grateful instead of asking God for what we want. We can believe that God will give us what we need as well as bless us with what we want when we present grateful attitudes. We're believing BIG for 2017 and want to use our lives to inspire others along the way. Hola 2017!
