I’ve been holding out on you :)
June 17th, 2010 by Kristi Stephens
Today before we move on into Revelation 4 I thought I would confess something – I’ve been holding out on you. :)
We have big things happening in our lives at the moment…
Stephens Baby #3
Littlest kidlet is expected to join the family sometime in early December!
Random pregnancy info that everyone asks…
- I felt pretty good throughout my first trimester (other than needing a nap more often than not!), which is a blessing!
- AG’s first question when we told her about the baby (after nearly 12 hours of stunned silence on the topic!) – “I thought of a question today while I was washing my hands. How do you know that the baby will love its big brother and big sister?” Melt my heart.
- 3rd time around is definitely different… I keep forgetting that I’m pregnant. Poor third child. ;)
We’re so thankful and excited for this new addition to the family! Pregnancy is such an incredible time – hosting the workroom of the Creator.
Oh yes, you shaped me first inside, then out;
you formed me in my mother’s womb.
I thank you, High God—you’re breathtaking!
Body and soul, I am marvelously made!
I worship in adoration—what a creation!
You know me inside and out,
you know every bone in my body;
You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit,
how I was sculpted from nothing into something.
Like an open book, you watched me grow from conception to birth;
all the stages of my life were spread out before you,
The days of my life all prepared
before I’d even lived one day.Psalm 139:13-16, The Message

Congrats Kristi! It’s good to know the 3rd pregnancy is like that in case we ever have one ;) With my 1st I was totally into it…consumed with it even. With my 2nd I was consumed with my son…so it’s hard to tell what next time will be like. Happy news!

[...] Remember how I said that I kept forgetting I was pregnant? Baby boy apparently wants to make his final pre-birth weeks more memorable. ;) I spent five hours yesterday morning in the maternity unit at the hospital, hooked up to monitors and watching my slight contractions show up like clockwork every five minutes. As excited as we are to see our little guy, we really don’t want to see him for another 7-10 weeks, thank you very much. [...]
