It's taken us a very long time, 7 years, to get to this point. Three miscarriages, periods of infertility, and numerous unsuccessful natural fertilizations. That's why I'm referring to her as our miracle.
The Lord has His own plans for our lives. It's our job to believe and keep faith.
We first learned of our new addition on Feb 1, the day before our 10th Anniversary. We've kept it pretty quiet until after the first trimester. And since then we've only slowly begun telling people as we get more confident.
I wrote in my journal that day to help process what is happening. Here's a portion of my entry:
Questions from First Trimester
Sleep? Potty breaks around 2am. I'm having a hard time sleeping on my left side. In past I ALWAYS slept on my right side.
Best Moment in the First Trimester? When I realized that we were going to make it to the second trimester. I started to relax a little bit more into this pregnancy.
Miss Anything? Sushi!!!! Beer Tastings
Movement? No
Food Cravings? None
Anything making you queasy or sick? I never had morning sickness although I never really felt fabulous either. I did figure out that leftover foods with strong scents made my stomach uneasy. I loved eating the strong smelling food the first time around, but couldn't handle the smell the second time as it was re-heated.
Have you started to show yet? No, but I had to run to Victoria Secret to buy bigger bras.
Moody? Not really
And now that we're caught up...
