Well things are moving forward in this pregnancy! It seems so crazy that I'm over 21 weeks pregnant, didn't we just find out? People ask me if it has flown by, in ways yes and in others no. We found out right at the brink of being pregnant, almost 4 weeks exactly. We were more hoping to be like 10 or more weeks along and a sudden, oh hey look what we missed! haha. I forget that they told us we had lost this baby- that week alone was the longest week of my life i think. So between 4 and 15 weeks was long for me, once my sickness started letting up a little it's been going much faster. Although it seems to be coming back, I don't care! I'm happy! We had our big ultrasound last week- what most people call " the gender ultrasound" but we didn't find out gender. It was amazing to have my husband sitting by my feet and getting to spend over 20 minutes just looking at our baby through the monitor, seeing his/her feet and hands... everything was amazing. We counted what we think was 10 little fingers and 10 little toes... it's crazy. There is a little baby in side me and we saw it's fingers and toes! It's so unreal! For the first time it really dawned on both of us, our baby is there... there really is a little baby getting ready for us to take care of growing! I almost wanted to look at R and be like, " Do you see it?????" lol. It seems like we have waited forever to experience this even though it was far from forever- and we are so excited its ridiculous!
Now when R calls from work to see how I'm doing or something he asks how are we, or how am I and the baby. Everything is getting so much more realistic. While at the ultrasound my doctor was talking to me about contractions and about early labor and how now if I think something is wrong I go to labor and delivery instead of the ER. As scary as a thought of early labor and things are at only 21 weeks, it's a milestone that we are this far that I go to that unit. There is a little 1 lb ( ish) baby inside of me that will hopefully stay there till he/she can live outside of my belly, but he/she is there!
We are going to have so much happening before this baby gets here. We are planning on moving at some point in October if we can find a place that is right for us, and also we need to get a new.. larger family car. Both exciting things, but very overwhelming! I think it's mostly overwhelming because it's going to cost us a fair amount of money- but if it's what's best for us and what we are supposed to do it will work out! So just praying that God will help us make the right decisions through all of it :-)
Well as we have stated to most people, we are still holding our ground on not finding out what the baby is. Although I'm def. tugging at finding out or having R change his mind that's our stance ha.
