The Little Byrd is Turning...I Think!

To everything - turn, turn, turn
There is a season - turn, turn, turn
And a time for every purpose under heaven

A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep

To everything - turn, turn, turn
There is a season - turn, turn, turn
And a time for every purpose under heaven

...at least that is how the The Byrds sang it...Ecclesiastes 3, verses 1–8 says it a bit differently; but mostly it is all the same message! The thing is that there is a purpose for everything & everything has its purpose in its season. We may not understand life completely but at least we can find some comfort in knowing that life has an understanding of us...& feel confident that God knows what He is doing even when we don't know what we are doing!

As for the little bitty baby...he seems to be working on his plans for the great escape! It feels like he has moved from a diagonal position from my lower left abdomen (where I usually feel lots of kicking/movement) & up under my ribs on the right side (where I get this tremendous pressure & a big hard knobby mound pushing outward) to a position where he is lying directly across my belly from left to right! It is very weird because you can actually see the difference when you look at my tummy...so funny.

At least I am still feeling well & I don't have much to complain about! When I sat down in the church the other day my hands & feet started swelling up like crazy...but for the most part I haven't even had to deal with much swelling. This pregnancy has been going very good :) Yea...hopefully it continues to be easy all the way through labor & delivery!
