got some cuteness for my feet to look adorable in while they swell to an unreasonable size. already up one and we are only at 20.5 weeks. 😳 #loveburtbaby #hellospring #vsco

feeling so thankful for him and sorry for him about this house. he’s sore and exhausted (and also experiences chronic pain) and nothing about this house has been easy. nothing makes sense, someone dumb and mean built it and now ethan has to deal. but he’s dealing! and he’s outsourcing what we can’t do but saving us so much by doing most of it himself. he’s just so ready to have a done home for us. love his heart and his efforts. he brought me over one night after the new doors were installed and danced me around the living room and kitchen and then showed me his designs. i cried. he’s the absolute best. 🏡 ❤️ #loveburtliving #stuffaboutethan

love love love these days. they are very hard, physically harder than i thought it would be, but so so freaking joyous! happy 20 weeks today! also, drywall happening this week and my new kitchen has this gorgeous light and ethan is going to put an herb garden on this wall for me and said it’ll be perfect for belly photos each week. gah, he cute. 😍 #20weekspregnant #hellobaby #athomewithbb #loveintensely #loveburtbaby #loveburtliving #homerenovation #loveburthomereno

sweet sweet loved ones sent over yummy chocolate covered fruit today which is perfect timing for me and the sibs as we go through our parent’s home and all our childhood things. 💔 all the feels.

"we need to remember at every moment that God stands actively against us when we are prideful (james 4:6). you may think you are digging your heels in against your spouse, but it's ultimately God you're opposing, and you're inviting His opposition in return. God has always love humility. always. He generously pours out His grace on those who are humble. view your arguments with your spouse in this light. it doesn't matter what he said or what he did. the question is whether you want to experience God's opposition or His grace. is it more important for you to be right? or to do what's right?
for many years, i taught a class for wives at our church on what it means to be a godly wife. it took me a long time, but i eventually realized that if we were truly humble people, we wouldn't need a class like that. that maybe we were over-thinking the wife part, and under-thinking who Christ calls us all to be in light of His example. underneath every struggle and every discussion was this subtle realization that being like Christ would solve a whole lot of our problems." lisa chan - you & me forever

if only i knew that it would only take 4 years and 6 ish months and i would have a fully renovated home and a baby on the way. would i have been more patient? grateful? enjoying what i had when i had it? i feel ridiculously rich with the ability to purchase things from ikea and renovate our home. and every uncomfortable pain and strain from this surprise pregnancy is pure joy. we have had zero arguments about this renovation. we are enjoying this opportunity and this insane luxury. hopefully this will all look very different, as in finished, in a month! 🏡 🙌🏼#loveburthomereno #loveburtbaby #loveburtliving
