April 2nd, 2013 -
Today is the official halfway mark! I can hardly believe it! But our baby girl reminds me and confirms it repeatedly for me with each kick, roll & stretch.
It was December 25, 2012, Christmas morning, that we found out God had answered our prayers and granted us the opportunity and privilege to have a child. It was a long wait until mid-February when we told everyone the news.
Those first 3 months were a challenge for both Jordan and I. I was constantly exhausted. I would come home from work and collapse on the couch and begin the nightly fight with nausea. But praise God I never threw up or got to terribly sick. Jordan was incredible. He did so much for me during that time and never complained about the extra work and responsibility he had to take on with me down and nauseous.
This experience so far has shown me another facet of how incredible my husband is and just how great of gift God has given me in him. Jordan you are the best!
It was right around our 3rd anniversary that we had our first apt and shortly after that our first ultrasound. Seeing our baby kicking and rolling around was so surreal. I think that's when it really hit us that I hadn't just turned into a helpless sick lady. We are going to have a baby!
Seeing our baby in detail; fingers, toes, even her brain! It was just incredible to really be able to really see the miracle of God knitting our little one together in my womb! God is so miraculous.
It's hard to believe it was only a little over a week ago that we found out we are having a baby girl. She already seems like a part of the family. I think she already has a little personality. :) I love to feel her kicks and I love knowing she's always with me. It's so fun when Jordan reminds me I'm never alone, I've always got our baby girl with me.
It's also hard to believe we still have another 4 1/2 months till we get to meet our sweet lil lady. But we wait with anticipation. I keep trying to refrain from buying cute little baby clothes, but of course it's a fight I lose on occasion. All my life I thought God would give me lots of boys, so this is a fun experience and I really look forward to it. It's so fun to guess at what she'll be like. What will she like or dislike? Oh it will be a blast!
I can say with 100% sureness that I will love being a Mom. I already love it!
So happy 20 weeks baby girl! We'll see you soon!
