Once again God tells me to obey and submit to my husband:
1 Peter 3
1 Wives, in the same way submit yourselves to your own husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, 2 when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. 3 Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. 4 Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. 5 For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to adorn themselves. They submitted themselves to their own husbands, 6 like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her lord. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear.
I will! Please give me strength and do not let me stray!

Discipline
Hebrews 12
God Disciplines His Children
4 In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. 5 And have you completely forgotten this word of encouragement that addresses you as a father addresses his son? It says,
“My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline,
and do not lose heart when he rebukes you,
6 because the Lord disciplines the one he loves,
and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son.”[a]
7 Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children. For what children are not disciplined by their father? 8 If you are not disciplined—and everyone undergoes discipline—then you are not legitimate, not true sons and daughters at all. 9 Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of spirits and live! 10 They disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share in his holiness. 11 No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.
12 Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees. 13 “Make level paths for your feet,”[b] so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed.

Babies
My cousin had a baby girl on Feburary 6th and Kyle's cousin had a baby boy on the 7th! Both babies are healthy! What a blessed family. In 3 short months, Hanna will join us! I can't wait! May God give me a healthy baby too!

Hanna
So I wonder what Hanna will look like, be like, act like...Will she be like Emma? Not likely. They say no two are alike. Well she is an active little girl. I feel bad about not thinking about her as much as I did with Emma. I am so busy that I often forget that there is a miracle inside of me. Four and a half more months! I looked at Emma's hat they gave her at the hospital. It is so tiny. I forgot so easily how tiny she was. Now we are having conversations. Mostly about Piggy, Cow, Horsie and Sheepy (she made this up...so cute). These four toys she carries everywhere! I have to put a little more effort into Hanna's room. We are close, but I need to clean the closet in her room and start going through Emma's old clothes.
Soon, I will be a mother of two daughters. I do pray that they are blessed by the Lord and that they are healthy and have beautiful lives. I also pray that I am able to give my husband a son one day. What a blessing they are! I was starring at Emma's face this morning. Not a blemish! She is so very beautiful. I am such a lucky mommy to have her. I can't wait to see Ms. Hanna.
