Did I mention that I was pregnant? I'm sure you've heard by now ... news travels fast! We have finally hit the halfway point and I think I've made a turning point too. I'm down to only one pill (anti-vomitting drug) a day and only random vomiting :) I'm feeling kicks on a regular basis and we are beginning to think about names. I had an ultrasound this morning and we saw our little miracle - legs crossed and hands in front of his/her face. Pretty cute considering it's still fairly alien looking!
I'm really feeling like this baby is a gift for us - a bonus gift. I know all of our children have been gifts (all seven of them) but this one feels like the icing on the cake. We have longed for a third child, but had decided that we were content with just two. I was worried about my "advanced maternal age" (blech!) and so we had given ourselves a timeline about how long we would try for another one - as long as I would be 35, I was OK with that. Well, this baby will arrive 8 short weeks shy of my 36th birthday. Thank you Jesus for giving us the desires of our heart - You know us and You love us! I am thankful.
Andrea - I love how that worked out too. Thanks God for such a gift!! You look incredibly beautiful too!
ReplyDeleteI love this picture. So special.
ReplyDeleteI am so excited for you...and Curtis and the kids, too.
Thrilled that you get to be a mommy to another precious child of God. Amazing.
