Selah's Advent- Day 1

We are doing a double Advent calendar for the little. One is a bible verse and the other is a book/movie/PJs/activity.

Tonight's Advent was a new pair of PJs!

Don't you love the reindeer on the butt? :)

Verse of the evening:

      Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
  
(Isaiah 7:14 ESV)

This just made me smile

And we all can use a smile.

30 Days of Thankfulness- Day 30

But, most of all, I'm thankful for 

YOU!

30 Days of Thankfulness- Day 29

I'm thankful to be done with Selah's Advent calendar. You guys will most likely see it for my December blogging challenge.

Pop culture has a way of kicking you while you're down

Jessica Simpson is pregnant again. Her baby is 7 months old. The Twittersphere won't shut up about it either. They say it is unbelievable. It's apparently wrong. Bad, in fact.

I was pregnant when my baby was 7 months and it was oh-so-right. Soon, yes, but so wonderful. But not any more. My baby's little brother or sister is gone.

And now Jessica Simpson will just be a reminder of how I have failed once again. I hope she can ignore the negativity and be as happy as I wish I could still be.

30 Days of Thankfulness- Day 28

I am thankful for Christmas songs and Christmas movies. They certainly know how to cheer a girl up.

30 Days of Thankfulness- Day 27

I am thankful for video baby monitors. With them, I can see that Selah is crying because she has stood up in her crib and doesn't know how to sit back down, instead of her crying because she is terribly hurt.

This is the one we have:

Sadness

I didn't cry today. First time in a week. Does this mean I'm over it? Not in the least. I'm far from over it.

I have an empty spot inside that can't be filled. I miss you, little one.

30 Days of Thankfulness- Day 26

I am thankful for the little girl I have in my arms. I may have already mentioned her, but I am truly thankful for her still. She has made all of this much more easier to handle.

30 Days of Thankfulness- Day 25

I am thankful for the overwhelming love and support during a difficult time. I love you guys.
