As you all know I am almost 24 weeks pregnant.  It seems like time is flying in a blink of on eye.  I have been really pressing into God while being pregnant because it can be physically, mentally, and emotionally challanging.  The first trimester I was naseous, and now I feel great but am getting bigger by the day. 
     Since being fit is such a big part of my life since before I can remember it is hard for me to grasp getting bigger and having no control.  I then realize it is not about me.  It is about a wonderful baby that Luke and I have created.  When I feel kicks and shifts and many other sensations it is still mind blowing to think I have a life growing inside of me. 
     Luke and I have been so busy sometimes I have to regroup and take deep breathes and know that I can do all things through Christ who stregthens me.  Mind you I am human and I do have my freak out, crying, hysterical moments but I do try my best to keep myself as level headed as possible. 
     First of all being married was an adjustement in itself but now baby on the way, full time job and Kitchen Sisters, and lets not forget extended family, friends and trying to be the wonderful wife who cooks and cleans.  I do have a wonderful husband that when I ask him to do anything he does help me but I AM TERRIBLE AT ASKING FOR HELP! Of course I wait until I am about to pull my hair out to ask him for help then he says to me " babe all you had to do was ask." 
     Luke works crazy hours but we adjust and do try and spend one night a week just the two of us whether we go out of stay in.  
     I welcome challanges and work because I am determined to be working until the day I deliver!
I have posted a picture below against my will but Luke said since everyone has been asking I need to! May be my only one!
Have a great evening and try a new recipe on the blog today!

Mikala! You are too cute pregnant!! And you are NOT big.
I doubt you'll be 'big' the day of labor! It is challenging to have worked so hard to be in shape for your wedding and then gain it back and more- just like you said- completely out of your control. It's exactly what happened to me, too. :) You are exactly right to remember that this is a direct gift from God!
