The times, they really are changing and we're probably in-store for some more. For those who don't know, Chris is now the full time pastor at Refuge Community Church. I mean, he's always been the full time pastor, but he also had another full time job at the Denver Rescue Mission. In May, we started praying and talking about him leaving that job and just focusing on church. The good thing was, I also got a new job at the end of March that came with a big raise, so the finances were there, but it was still a big decision.We'd be living on one income with a little assistance from the church which would mean that we'd have to cut back in some areas and would really be forced to stick to our budget.(Something we're not really great at) But, it seemed like God was really leading us to do this, so we took the leap. And on the Chris's last day at the Mission, we found out that we were pregnant! WE. WERE. SHOCKED. Many of you know it has been a hard and long road to getting pregnant and we definitely don't think it was a coincidence that we found out when we did.
We are now living our new normal. Chris is working from home, networking, meeting with church people and non-church people and really loving his new job. He is so much happier and that makes this girl happy. I am now 17 weeks along in the pregnancy. And besides the horrible morning sickness that I endured the first trimester, I feel awesome now. We leave for our vacation or babymoon next Saturday and generally we are just loving life.
Join me for bump pictures, funny stories and document this fun time.

ReplyDeleteRobin! I have been meaning to send you a more personal message and CONGRATS and I still will...but I am so excited for you and Chris!! What an amazing time and what a gift from the Lord. I look forward to following your pregnancy and reading all the little tid bits :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you started another blog!!!! What an awesome testimony of the Lord's timing. I'm sorry you've had morning sickness. I had it too and really can't remember my first 16 weeks or so of pregnancy. It was awful. Not to mention I cried just about all day every day. I was a mess. BUT....I'm just so beyond thrilled for you both and can't wait to follow all of your progress on your new blog. Where are you going for your babymoon??
ReplyDeleteThis Aunt is beyond excited! My first niece or nephew(from my side that I'll have known since birth:)! It makes my heart so happy when I think about how many people already love this sweet baby, even in other states, and it's not even here yet!
