Thinking while the house is quiet

I have really been thinking a lot about my spiritual health. I don't know if its because Aidan's getting older & we're adding little McKenzie to our family soon. But I do know that I want to be a good example for my children and also have a healthy spiritual life for myself.

I struggle with this though because I have a hard time reading the Bible and staying interested. I don't know how to read something that I've read over and over again and make it feel like something new. I've tried some devotionals but they all seem pretty lame and they ask the simplest questions that don't really make you think. I need something that will make me think deeply about my walk with God and bring back that love that I have had in my heart once before. The one that felt like I had just met a new boyfriend & I had flutters in my heart. :) I'm not really sure how to attain this but I know that it's needed and that I need a huge change in my life.

Any suggestions for books, devotionals, better experience with quiet times, etc? I'd like to hear your thoughts.

C-section vs. Natural Birth

So we've decided to go for a repeat C-section this time around. I think I just feel better about it for me. That's all I've really known because I had a C-section with Aidan and I know that its a quick and easy process. There won't be too much pain involved and that makes me rest easy. Plus it will be easier for family who will be coming in from out of town to make arrangements around her birth. Highland Hospital should be calling me sometime this week or next to make the appointment. I can't wait to have a date finally set in stone. 8 1/2 more weeks!!!
