Mommy & Baby Style

Ok, a few people have been asking me what style I like for our baby, and I posted a bit on facebook, but I thought I would here as well. And since I'm pregnant, I thought I'd add my favorite pregnancy styles too. There are some seriously cute mommas!

Resources

Having collected ALOT of books for my doula certification, I now have quite the library of pregnancy, birth, baby, and breastfeeding books. Trying to decide which to read & reference was a bit of a hard decision. Though I randomly check out the other books, these are the ones that I am actually reading:




These ones deserve honorable mention:

One thing I am so excited for is homeschooling! I know I'm jumping ahead of myself. And yes, I am relishing the now, but I do have ALOT of time to think and I dream about homeschooling. I have always loved teaching. When I've nannied, I loved putting together lesson plans, setting up story corner, arranging crafts etc... So, even though I have many years, I know they will go by very fast. And I can't wait to experience every one!

An Incredible Father

There are many reasons that I am so excited to become a mother. One of those reasons is that Mark is going to be a father. I can't even put into words what that means to me. He is going to be an incredible dad. He is already planning adventures to take his son or daughter on. He's planning what to read to them, what music to share, what movies he loved as a kid that he wants them to love too. He talks about leading their hearts to Jesus, training them to be honorable and full of integrity, helping them grow into what God has made them to be. Mark is going to be an incredible father. I am overwhelmed almost continually that God put him in my life & now I live in a constant state of amazement that God would choose him to be the father of our children.
I know this may seem sappy or emotional. It could very well be the state of my emotions right now, but I just can't believe we are having a baby! A little life is going to join ours before we know it and our lives will change forever!
