Rounding the Corner

As I round the corner towards my 20th week, I become more and more astounded at the gift of life that is growing so quickly inside of me.  God has given me such a precious gift that it confounds me how I could be so lucky to have been so blessed. While my husband and I wish to remain surprised in this whole experience, there is a small part of me that DOES want to know.

The 20-week ultrasound comes in the next couple of weeks, which means I will be halfway through this new journey in my life.  I grow more excited as the days pass me by, while still having some underlying questions.  I simply try to remember to put my faith in God and that I have friends who are more than willing to lend me their expertise.

After my ultrasound I should have more updates to give everyone.



16 Weeks

Well I am about 16 weeks today.....and counting.  I certainly feel a lot further along than this, but the doctor says about 16 weeks, so that's what I'm going with.

Due for another doctor's appointment in a couple of days to check and make sure everything is working the way it should and the baby is growing the way that God intended.  I am hoping everything comes out fine and all the tests come back normal.  I can only pray for a normal and healthy baby.

I feel more tired as the days go on, but am constantly reminding myself that all this fatigue is ultimately going to end in pure happiness after the baby is born.

Being away from my friends and family during this time couldn't be more difficult, however, I do intend to make the trip home before it becomes too late.  Sometimes being halfway across the world is more than interesting, and you come to realize how much you truly miss the ones you care about.

More to follow as the days pass me by with flying colors.
