Changes, Trials, and Thankfulness

Sometimes I wonder if life is going to slow down or if I'm always going to feel like I can't really relax for a few minutes. Then I laugh. Of course it's not....I'm having a baby in a few months! 

Since we found out at the end of October that baby C is a girl, we have been talking about our sweet Camille Anne nonstop. She is already starting to get clothes in her closet and her bed should be here sometime next week. It's insane. With all the happiness, there have been situations that have caused us some stress.  

Over the last month, our lives have changed a lot...that seems to be a theme for the Curtis' lately. 
1.Will quit working at the company he had been a part of for the past 2 1/2 years. He is working at the local Christian bookstore which has been a blessing to both of us. 
2. We moved....which is zero fun when pregnant and you aren't allowed to lift anything heavy. Luckily, I have the world's most awesome husband who must be Superman. 
3. I had the biopsy done on my thyroid. Everything came back normal and the surgeon just wants me to come back in 6 months for a follow up. 

Through everything that has been happening, I try to stay positive. But, I'm the one in the relationship that worries. Someone has to do it right? There are so many unknowns right now. There are so many things that I cannot change or see coming...and if you know me at all, you know I'm not a fan of surprises. I try really hard to not be "that crazy pregnant lady" that cries all the time, but it seems to be something that I can't control. Between being stressed and hormones...I don't even feel like myself most days. 

People always things could be worse. To those people, I want to throw something at your face....but they are correct. Will and I are blessed. We have a roof over our head. We have a pantry and fridge full of food. We have two pups that adore us. We have all the technology we could need. We are healthy. We both have jobs. We have a healthy growing baby girl that we will be able to love on in just a few months. We have families that support us and take care of us. We have friends that love us and pray for us. Yes. Things could be a lot worse. 

I can honestly say that Will and I have a stronger relationship than we have ever had. I could not imagine going through life with any other partner. The Lord has blessed me with the perfect match. 

Every morning, my mom sends a "Thought for the Day" email. This morning it was simply this verse. It's a verse I've heard my entire life and recited many times...this morning it was exactly what I needed to start my day. "Trust in the Lord with all you hear, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your path." Proverbs 3:5-6
