I needed to be reminded of this too! I’ve learned over the years that this self talk really pays off … “is this purchase really necessary?” or “will it really benefit me or my family?” I admire how you take the managment of your household so seriously at such a young age. You are also an intelligent girl with a good education yet you use it prudently to benefit your family rather than persuing an image for yourself with a career and bigger income. It’s shocking to hear couples who are dedicating their babies at church answer the pastor’s question of what they do, and almost 100% of the time the new mom has this demanding career outside the home too! You wonder how these parents could be serious about raising godly children!

I am in TOTAL agreement with this post. I have been feeling like such a slob lately because only barely half of my clothes fit. (My pants are all too lose and my shirts are all too tight. Pregnancy does weird things to the body as you are again finding out!)
Thanks for this post. I needed it. I really don’t need anything.

baby girls are nice indeed!
i’m sorry that we didn’t have more time to chat at the reception for dr. rogland. elasaid was incredibly fussy and spent much of the evening complaining loudly, as you and a large portion of tacoma heard. i never even made it into the sanctuary! oh, well. she’s usually a pretty cool customer, so i too have every reason to be content.
congratulations on baby number three! i can’t wait to find out who it is!
