Intro

We named our blog “Raising Mustard Seeds” after the famous parable in Matthew’s Gospel. We had some mustard seeds of our own laying dormant in our hearts, and finally, the year before our marriage, we began to let those seeds grow. Our journey with Christ hasn’t always been easy, but it has bore more fruit than we could possibly imagine. And through the mustard seeds He planted in our hearts, He opened them to receive little mustard seeds of our own…

While Jesus in this parable is talking about how faith and our relationship with God should grow from something very small to something mighty and powerful, it’s applicable to our children as well. It is our hope that through prayer and proper parenting, our children will grow from small and helpless (tiny mustard seeds) to being mighty in Christ, so that they will be shining lights in the world and people will come to “dwell in the branches” of their faith.

So, this is our little space in the big internet where we will share our most likely crazy experiences as we start our family and we hope those who are close to us will enjoy laughing at us and with us, and maybe even learn something new :)

"Belly" pictures

I hate to disappoint because everyone has been asking for this, but my "belly" pictures are not so interesting as of yet. I made funny faces to make things a little more interesting, but truthfully, I don't have the delightful and official "mama belly" just yet. Also, notice that Chris takes horrible pictures.

This is me at 15 weeks:
 This was me today at 19 weeks (Yes, I skipped the in between weeks because it is THAT boring!):


So, you can see, there's definitely SOMETHING going on there because I am "thicker" lol. I can also assure everyone that none of my pants fit. Chris can attest that depending on the time of day it really does look like I'm prego, and I can attest that my little squirmer/wiggler/kicker extraordinaire, while only 6-7 inches long right now, is certainly there. I have decided that this MAY be the most forgiving outfit in the world. And as for now, I'm okay with that :-)
