This week I was busy cleaning and recuperating from vacation. I wore a fitted dress to church on Sunday and it looked fine. On Monday however, you were popping out . . . it seems like overnight my stomach grew! I still don’t need maternity clothes, but I won’t be wearing tight fitting things any more for a while.I still feel fine – no nausea or tiredness. This has been an easy pregnancy even with watching and caring for your sister. Abigail is 14 months old now and still isn’t walking so it is a bit tiring carrying her around with you inside.

I went back to the doctor and gained ½ pound and everything checked out good. I was able to hear your heart beating for the first time! It was very strong. It brought tears to my eyes that God has really put within me another child. I am praying that you will come to know Jesus at an early age. We went to North Carolina for a few days to visit Grandmother. It is so pretty up there in the mountains. We plan to go back when the leaves begin to change colors. I still feel fine, but do much better when I take a nap during the day. I tire easily if I run a lot of errands.
We praise God for our growing family! You own family is growing now as well! I am thanking God today that He has blessed you with a child of your own.

You focus on weight a bit too much, Lori. That is not sending younger women a good message.
I'm not sure who you are, but if you had any sort of idea whatsoever about the kind of mother and Christ-follower that Lori is then you wouldn't be so harsh. Take your negativity elsewhere, please.
Dear Friend -
I just saw your comment from a long time ago. I know I don't need to explain; however, during Kayla's pregnancy I was still recovering from anorexia which might explain the weigh concerns. I was told that I would never have children soon after marriage. GOD HEALED ME and blessed us with eight children! Thankfully, I have not weighed myself since Kayla's pregnancy and still do not know my weight - that's 23 years ago. We do not own a scale in my home. I do appreciate your concern and desire to encourage young girls against that bondage . . . it is powerful.
