I Would Like to Sleep, Please.

Well, here it is almost 3:00 in the morning and I can't sleep!!!!! I went to bed around 9 pm (here lately that's pretty late for me.) And woke up wide awake at around 1:15. Of course I woke up having to use the bathroom... that's what usually wakes me up every single night. And then I couldn't fall back asleep. Also, ever since moving here I've had the worst time with being clogged up with snot at night. Only at night. So if I lay on one side, I can't breathe out of that nostril and I'm constantly turning from side to side to let my nose drain. IT IS SO ANNOYING! Maybe my room needs a really deep cleaning and dusting. Grr. I realize I'm being whiney. But it's my blog and I want to whine right now! Maybe I'll just give in and try the warm milk. But I'm nervous that drinking milk will only worsen my mucus-y nose problem. Sorry if that's too much info.

Okay, I'm done with my rant. :) In happier, more uplifting news... we made a huge announcement on Facebook the other day. People started messaging me saying they had heard the news..... from my mother..... so I figured it was time time to let the FB world know. And you know it's not official unless it's announced on FB. Just kidding, people. I realized I haven't said anything about it here on the blog. So I guess I am ready to reveal it here in the blog-o-sphere.........

There's a BABY MILLS on the way! My due date is Aug 25th. So I'm only 10 weeks right now. It feels like I have been at 10 weeks.... FOREVER. It didn't help that my doctor moved my due date back. Kyle and I are super, super excited. God is so good. Oh and by the way, we greatly reduced our number of "friends" on Facebook. It was getting to be quite ridiculous at how I just read up on other people's profiles what they have been up to or who they have been hanging out with, and mindlessly clicked on profile after profile, but never really communicated with them over FB. Sooo, we mainly kept family members and close friends from our churches and schools back home- people who we attempt to keep in touch with. And I may or may not have kept a few friends on there merely because my nosy self couldn't help it. Mwah. ah. ah. ANYWAYS, this is how we announced it:

Maybe this helps explains my recent posts on random foods. I'm not sure. And my sleepless nights? I thought pregnant women had the worst time with sleeping in the last trimester? It seems as tired as I have been lately I should be sleeping like... a baby! I don't know. I do know that God has blessed me with not being ridiculously sick and I am sooooooooooo thankful.

In other news, I've been attending a women's Bible study at the chapel on base and they just started this book.

So far, I've liked what I've read. As you can tell from the title, the premise of the book is on grace. And I don't know... I feel like I am one of the most un-gracious people ever! Well, that's how I've felt after reading parts of the book. It's been convicting, uplifting, and encouraging. We have SUCH a gracious God! And I am realizing that we should season everything we do with grace. This includes not only relationships with your children, but friends and family members. Even strangers. Christ was gracious to everyone. And we are to strive to be more like Him. I mean seriously, that's what a Christian is all about- having a personal relationship with Christ and being sanctified (slowly becoming more Christ-like and being set apart.) This process seems to be taking me forever. And actually, I'm sure it will take the rest of my life. But what a great way to be like Christ- by showing grace to others. This is my prayer. Something I seriously need work on...
