I just realized something today... how much I learn about God through my husband!!! I am so thankful for the man that God has blessed me with! We have not even known each other for two years yet (it will be two years next month) and I know he knows me better than anyone else! He is an amazing provider! He keeps me accountable to God's word and what it commands of me! He is not hesitant to bring my attention to convictions I hold when I fail to follow through with them! He is a wonderful protector! I have just realized this lately how protective he is of me! He makes sure the bathroom is available to me as much as it can be (we currently have 4 adults and 1 bathroom in the house :-)). At my appointments he will make comments to the midwives/nurses and I giggle because it reminds me how he longs to protect me! He is my leader... he goes before me!! So these are just a few examples I thought of that remind me, not only of the man I married but also the God I serve and his faithfulness and his love for me as his daughter! As Andy loves this little girl inside me and talks to her and touches my belly to bond with her... I know I have a Father in Heaven who created her and loves her more than the both of us! I praise the LORD that he has seen it fit for us to lead, love, nurture... this little girl whom he loves and knows!  I am very thankful to have a wonderful man by my side to be a father to this little girl here on earth!! 

Here is a picture of Andy & I at a wedding I was in over the weekend!

Wrapping Up Second Trimester

26 weeks 3 days

I will be 27 weeks along on Thursday! Time seems like it is flying and yet it seems to drag all at the same time! But I am praising God as I come to closing up the 2nd Trimester. Some books/people say 2nd trimester ends at 27 weeks. That is what I would like to go with... because to me it makes a whole lot more sense... but I guess 3rd Trimester does technically begin at 28 weeks. So, we will just say that within the next week I will be done with this trimester :-) Anyways, had an appointment today with the midwife and things are going well. Baby Girl was trying to keep us from hearing her heartbeat today but we got it eventually (140 bpm)! It was really weird because the midwife, when she finally got it, had mine sounding in the doppler with the baby's... so it was kind of a weird sound. She tells me that I have a "wild one" in there but I am not so sure! She seems to be a bit shy to me... but I guess we will have to just wait and see and let her show us who she is :-) I am feeling movements everyday but totally at random! No schedule that I have figured out with Baby Girl Hentges! I am getting the full belly twitching movements now and that is so much fun! Sometimes it feels like my belly is just vibrating with movements... it is kind of a funky feeling! I also had my glucose testing and that seemed to go well! The orange drink was really not as bad as I anticipated. It was warm... so I just chugged it! Had my blood drawn along with it... and managed to stay my normal color and was not seeing double! My husband is such a sweet man... he said to the lab guy... "Do you have juice for her after? She may turn colors on you." Always looking out for me!! :-)

Still plugging away at work. My aim is to keep going as long as I can! We will see how long I can handle it!

Just thought I would give a quick update! Have a great week!!!
