:: 30 weeks ::

10 weeks to go till we will be getting to meet our newest little man.

10 weeks for my already large belly to double in size at the rate he is growing.

10 weeks before my household becomes a crazy new adventure to navigate.

10 weeks to get this house in order and ready for another little man.

10 weeks to pull out and sort through all the gorgeous teeny tiny clothes that already tell the story and hold the memory of two other champions.

10 weeks to make the most of the cherished one on one time with Master G before someone else is craving my attention.

10 weeks to get all my questions and thoughts out to make sure the next year runs as smoothly as possible.

Sweet Little Ones

Today the tears flowed just a little and then a lot.

I prayed ever so quietly to my Jesus,

I prayed that He would sweep my little bubba up in His bring strong arms,

hold them tight,

kiss their yummy cheeks 

and whisper in their ears that Mumma loves them and misses them so very much.

That every day I think of them and long for the day I will be able to hold them,

kiss them,

whisper in their ear "Mummy Loves You".

I prayed that He would wrap this little mumma up in those 

same strong arms,

hold me tight

kiss my tear streaked cheeks 

and whisper in my ear that He loves me,

and there will come a day when the pain is not so bad,

that I will remember my sweet little one with a smile,

with love and happiness that they 

are in a better place, 

that they never had to deal with the pain of this world,

that they only know the goodness and majesticness of their loving Saviour.

The journey is challenging and at times extremely painful,

I cling to Jesus with everything that is in me,

with all the strength I can muster.

I look to all I have and am truly thankful.

My Family is my blessing.

{Psalm 18:20-24}

God made my life complete when I placed all the pieces before Him. 

When I got my act together, He gave me a fresh start.

Now I'm alert to God's ways; I don't take God for granted.

Every day I review the ways He works; I try not to miss a trick.

I feel put back together, and I'm watching my step.

God rewrote the text of my life when I opened the book of my heart

to His eyes.

A beautiful scripture spoken over me last night at the Hills sisterhood United night.

My heart is open and willing.

I will journey through this season with these words of wisdom tattooed on my heart.

IT'S A BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its another Boy for this growing household.

Seems we are destined to raise mighty champion warriors

and I LOVE IT.

We have reached with a lot of relief and success

the halfway mark.

Now the countdown begins till we get to meet

our little champion.

These Moments

My dishes may be piled up on the sink,
The Laundry is waiting patiently in several piles for its next turn through the machine.
Beds are only partially made,
There are crumbs sticking to the bottom of our feet.


All this though is blurred into the background as I stare into the sweet yummy eyes of Master G as he so cutie asks "play mummy" How could I possibly say No.

And you know what I Don't. These are the moments that are fleeting and soon enough there will be another little one craving my attention.
So for now I take everything moment I can.

Battles and prayer

Battles are a common thing in my world at this present time.

This season that has started is one I know I'm not going to like very much.

There are more hard days then easy.

'Dragon mumma' has set up camp in our home.

This does not make for a happy home.

There is some darkness lurking.

If you pray I would appreciate if you said a little one for me.

A lot of prayer will be needed over the next little while.

{The Day After Sunday}

I know a day late but linking up with this gorgeous one.

Well lets start by saying that this past weekend was not all glamorous and fun filled as I had previously hoped it would be.
Hubby was going to be away for 4 days for work and I had big plans with the boys just us time.
Well that fell in the toilet as soon as we dropped him at the train station.
Both my beloved boys came down with nasty colds that left us indoors and watching movies, wiping noses constantly, tantrums, almost a full bottle of panadol (my best friend), and 2 very sleepless nights.

Although it seems that this weekend has only bought about sadness, it did make me realise something.
That I am a very capable mother.
I have been doubting my abilities a lot lately and allowing myself to dwell on this lie, in my opinion, probably way too long.
Though this weekend without my knight in shining armour, I managed to keep things together with little to no sleep and not lose my cool, well at the kids anyway, there may have been a moment of closed door and some breathing and prayer.

So this week I am walking tall in that knowledge that I AM CAPABLE.

I hope you all had a lovely weekend.
