(This was our pregnancy announcement)Well, as you can see it's been quite awhile since I updated this website. So since my last blog (in May) a lot has happened! Mainly, we found out we're going to have a baby!!!! Our little one is due sometime around the beginning of May 2008.
This picture was just taken on Saturday, which means I'm 19 weeks gestation and starting to look like I'm pregnant. My belly is starting to be noticeably bigger and not just an "I'm gaining weight bigger" but rather "I'm actually growing a human in here, bigger". We had an ultrasound today and were able to see the baby and it really looked like a baby! The previous 2 ultrasounds, the baby looked more like a little peanut (at 7 weeks gestation) and small monkey (at 10 weeks gestation)
(7 wks)
(10 wks)But today, we were relieved to find out that everything looks "normal" and the baby has all it's required parts:) WHAT A RELIEF!!! Being a nurse and working in the NICU, I am plagued with knowing way too much. I know all the things that can go wrong --- good thing Kyle doesn't know what to worry about or we'd be a rather nervous pair. Actually, whenever I start to fear anything I just have to remind myself that the number of "normal/healthy" babies born into this world FAR OUTWEIGHS the number of "abnormal/sick" babies. I have spent almost every day of this pregnancy praying for a sense of peace throughout this journey. God has been so good to us in blessing us with a healthy baby and a healthy, uneventful pregnancy thus far, and I'm thankful every day for that! Here is a picture of our little one from today's ultrasound.......keep in mind, it's only the size of a can of Coke, weighing approximately 11 oz. right now. The picture makes it look much bigger than that:)
(19 wks - isn't he/she cute?)
