35 weeks, 1 day
An update on my emotional state. (More on my totally awesome baby shower to come)
I don't really feel like writing all my thoughts out again, so I am just going to copy to you an email from my dear friend Lindsay, and my response. (Lindsay, if you are offended that I posted this email on here, let me know, and I will delete it and make myself write it out in my own words.)

:-) You are good.
I knew as soon as I sent that message that you would remind me of my words to you, and the truth is, that I know and believe all of those words. I just can’t describe to you how uncontrollable these emotions feel, and how hard it is for me to break through them. Pray is all I can do, and I haven’t been doing it enough. I know that God is the only one who can rescue me from my hormones!
Ryan and I have been talking about all this, and we know a lot about God’s provision in our lives, and we have hope that, despite the closed doors before us, He will provide.
He always has provided for us financially, this house was definitely in his provision! We put an offer in on 4 houses and they all fell through before we found this one. This one was the only 3 bedroom we put an offer in on, and we did not know that we were pregnant until the day after we moved in. He wanted us in this house to raise this child. I believe that, and so, I have to believe that he will provide us with the resources to pay for it!
Like I said, it’s just my irrational emotions, my raging hormones…I just feel overwhelmed, and my prayer is against that more than anything right now…
I love you, thank you for the encouragement and prayers. God has been good to me, and I am glad that I met you!

Like you said to me one day....what is the worst that could happen?
God provides.
He planned this precious baby's entrance into the world long before you planned to make your mortgage payment.
He knows your needs and He provides people who can help you meet those bills and so forth and so on and He also tells us in Matthew 6.33, something you have heard a million times...
those birds and flowers don't toil and spin, they don't worry about those things, God provides for their next meal or the next rain shower, and you are so much more important to Him than a bird or a flower.
Have heart. Have peace.
I watched a documentary on Mother Theresa and I was astonished at her hope in Divine Providence. God divinely provides.
I will send more encouragement soon.
Love you.

No offense taken-duh!
I love you too!
I am glad I met you as well.
Did I ever tell you that I checked out your old myspace a long time ago when you signed onto the Cornerstone Message Board and I almost sent you a message about how I felt connected to you even though I had never met you and blah, blah, blah but I did not want to be weird. God had other plans to make us friends. Praise the Lord for information technology and for myspace and blogspot etc., etc., etc.
