Just Us Girls!: All Clear!

I went for my 6 week check up today and got the thumbs up! Everything is back to "normal" haha. I was so scared and nervous all through my pregnancy that recovery would be so hard for me. Given the genes I have, I was almost certain something unusual would pop up, so I prayed very hard that God would bless me through the whole experience. That's just what He did. Once I realized that the pain prescriptions were not necessarily a "just in case," I returned back to comfortable living quickly. Not only has everything shrunk to its appropriate size, but I have also already lost more than just my baby weight :) Total, including Ava, I have lost 40 pounds since June 11th! Although some of my pants are still fitting just a little off, I feel so much better. God has really blessed me with everything. I couldn't have asked for a better pregnancy or recovery and I thank Him every day for the sweet gift He has given me. I know I have a long road ahead of me, but I have never been more at peace with the way my life is headed.

Please keep praying that I find a church I can dig into. Ava and I finally made it out to church this week to a place down the street called Highpoint Fellowship. I pass it a lot to and from the house and wanted to visit. I was not pleased with the experience, but I think I'm going to give a different service another try. The pastor made a note while talking that the service we attended was the "rowdy" group. There was a lot of verbal shout outs in the middle of the service (a small service) and it was just a little on the distracting side. I will say, however, that the people of the church were very friendly and welcoming. :) I'm planning on returning to Hill Country this fall for another bible study on Corinthians and I'm looking forward to it for several reasons. It's at 6:30 in the morning, so I'm hoping it will encourage me to get up early and stay up so I can get focused on homework and also so I can come out the other side more knowledgeable of God's Word. I know general knowledge of the more known stories, but I would like to be able to know where to turn when I need some guidance.

Ava had her first taste of Starbucks today...
