Moms....hmmmm

So I was thinking today about all the things I have been hearing going on in our schools systems lately and how our youth is acting. I than realized that when I was that age that is exactly how I wanted to act :P. I remember that when I was growing up my mom was real protective when it came to the places I went and the people I was with. At the time it annoyed the living daylights out of me, but here is the real kicker... Thats exactly how I feel about my son. Now I see why my mom was like she was. Have you ever heard that as women you grow up to be exactly like your mom? Ya well in my case thats true. All the obnoxious and annoying things my mom did as I was growing up I find myself starting to equip myself with as I prepare these next 3 months. I have no idea what kind of a mom I am going to be. I have no idea what kind of a child my son will be. But the one thing I do know is that I will love my son no matter what just as the Lord has loved me no matter what I have done. I will always welcome him with open arms just as the Father does for me. I will never push him away because of a choice he has made. I will try my hardest to raise him in the love and patience the Lord gives us. In that I hope someday I can look at my son and see the Heavenly Spirit radiate through him. I cant wait for that someday :D

Baby Doctor

I am so thankful that my new family is in the hands of a great man. Dr. McCoy has treated me and my baby better than I thought was possible. You can see the care in his eyes when he walks in the room, or the gentle ness of his voice as he talks to you. He has this uncanny way of making the bad sound just a little less bad.

Today was one of those routine check ups every 4 weeks. To top off today we were late for the first time! After getting in there I had a new nerse that I hadnt had before, no biggy she was pretty cool. First came the regular checks. I have great bloodpressure, went downs since last visit. I weigh 119.7lbs, and still look like nothing lol. Next came one of my favorite parts the Sonagram. After distinguishing my heartbeat from his we foiund it to be at a healthy 138bpm :D!!!! Next came the part i thought was going to be easy, the urine sameple. NOPE he sat on my bladder and made me feel like i could pee the Nile river. I get in there and do little to nothing....FAIL! After a short wait Dr. McCoy finally comes in and checks to see how hings are with me mentally and emotionally. After establishing im doing very well he measured my tummy to find that I am 25cms!!! Hey Im pretty proud of that. With that info marked our visit came to a close. I made another appointment for 4 weeks than and Ultrasound 2 weeks later!!!! January should be a good month im excited. Plus it means im one month closer to his being here!!!!!

Growing Family...

Well as of an unofficial 20 week Ultrasounds we find out that our little Creature is a bouncing baby BOY!!!!!

After a few nights of internet searching and no success we finally agreed on the most beautiful name my ears will ever hear, Jeshual Sorren Mitzel.

My husband and I had a deal...you know the one. Girl I get to pick the name, Boy its his. So boy it is and what a name my husband concocted. Let me break it down for you. 

Jeshual is a combination of my husbands 3 favorite men of the Bible. Jesus, a man of virtue and perfection. a perfect image of what every man should strive to be. Joshua, he was an honest and brave man who risked his life to scout out the promise land for the people of God, later he went to lead the nation of Israel, so he was a leader to boot. Samuel, was wise and God-fearing. He was a prophet of God and sought the Lord in every decision he made.

Sorren, comes from the Scandinavian language meaning Stern, Strong, or Proud.

Put them together from the mind of my husband and you have a Stern Man of God Mitzel. 

only 3 months left......I cant wait!!!!

Even I get Flowers!

I know this blog is called A Flower for Moms, and I am not yet a mom, but over these past 6 months I have learned more about Motherhood than I ever dreamed was possible. 

Come March of 2012 my husband and I are having our first child, a Son, Jeshual Sorren!!! With so much planning to do I find it hard to actually stop and think about what is happening inside me. Within the protection of my tummy a human life is forming and growing at a rapid rate. I cant say that all together I "forget" I'm pregnant, my highly active son makes sure of that. I haven't had the funny cravings, and I haven't had the most normal pregnancy experience. Overall this has been a life changing experience at the least. I know have instincts and thoughts I never would have thought or had. Over the course of the next three months and into the coming years I want to share with you my experiences in being a mother and the Flowers they bring me daily!
