Pregnancy

I am now about 24 weeks pregnant.  Things are setting in more and more as my belly grows.  I have gained about 10lbs, and still have chest pains, but everything else is great.

We are still looking into our girl's full name, but for now we just have a first name.

Since I have been doing a study of the Women of the Bible from week to week.  I thought I would mention some parallels to my current life.
Names and their meaning were very important in the culture as you see in Genesis 21 as Sarah names her son Isaac.  It was also common for a child not to be named for several years.
Also, if seems there is difficulty in some women becoming pregnant now, but this has also been seen in scripture as well.  Sarah and Rachel were barren for several years, and I'm sure there are many more to count as well.
Legacy has become more important to me as well.  What will I leave for my child, and what blessings will her future be.  In Genesis 27, Rebekah disguises her favorite son to receive his father's blessings, but we can share this blessing among all our children.

I look forward to sharing more about my study and my pregnancy/baby. God Bless!
