Blessings come through raindrops...

This has been a tougher week. Disappointments. Frustration. Mood swings. Missing my family that seems a little farther away than usual. Angry customers at work. Just a lot of life has happened. This song has popped up a lot on the radio and I wanted to share:

Powerful.

However, in some ways, this week has been better than most. Let me share my blessing that came through raindrops, my mercies the came in disguise:

**It's been a big hangout with all my friends. The Spycher's hosted a peach party for our Bible study group on Friday. Baby shower on Saturday for Danielle as we celebrated her soon-arriving baby boy. Dinner and dessert with Mama & Papa Carr yesterday with some good parenting advice mixed into the evening. Mommy date with Ariana at lunch today. I'm feeling surrounded by  great friends which makes the lonely days better.

**This baby is KICKING!!!! I've been told that most moms feel the kicks internally first and not this soon but there is no denying that my hand is feeling the movement. This morning, Baby Daddy even got to feel it. I wish I could have captured the look as I watched his eyes light up when he felt the kick. Priceless!

**Luke had shoulder surgery almost a year ago now and today, we got a refund check for over $241 that the insurance covered... Nursery decor, here I come!!

**I am at week 19 and carrying a healthy baby and I've got a super-hubby at home that's cooking, cleaning, and even fetching refills of water at bedtime. 

There is no denying it, I'm one blessed mama.
