Thirty four weeks and two days

Today was Brooke's appointment not Friday. Since it hasn't been two weeks they won't estimate their weights until the next visit. That visit will be on July 27.

No pictures today but I got a little bit of video. Here is a clip where the sonographer is checking their heart beats. Enjoy!

This weekend something pretty amazing happened but before I share let me preface with a few thoughts.  As with most thoughts, they are the opinion and expression of the one who is feeling them.   Those around may not share the same opinion or thoughts, not because they are wrong, necessarily, but because they view their experiences from a different lens.

Nothing can separateEven if I ran away Your love never fails.
I know I still make mistakes But you have new mercies for me everyday Your love never fails.

And when the oceans rage I don't have to be afraid Because I know that you love me Your love never fails.
The wind is strong and the water's deep But I'm not alone here in these open seas Your love never fails.

30 Things My Kids Should Know About Me - #18

I think Ray loves the fact that I am the glue in our family.  That's right, glue.  It's ridiculously important to me that we stay close as we all grow in separate directions.  You know, children grow up, get married, have their own families but that shouldn't separate us.  No, that should make us closer.  I have a big heart for family and am drawn to include those who are lacking in family to be a part of ours.  When I do that, it's probably one of the biggest compliments to that person.  Not everyone is fit :)

As I'm waiting his response via text I have to say that I love that Ray has a tender heart.  As we've grown up together I've noticed his heart softened and his compassion for others grow.  His passion for living is contagious and draws me in.  (There is an exception: driving.  If you have poor driving skills he will not have kind…
