Everything is still going great with this pregnancy. Time is totally flying by, and I cannot believe that it is past the halfway point already. With Micah, the weeks crept by sometimes, but with this sweet baby love, I feel like every Monday sneaks up on me. As time goes by, we get more and more excited to meet this sweet little one.
I have been feeling lots more little kicks and rolls. That is definitely my absolute favorite part of being pregnant, and I honestly can remember missing that feeling when Micah was born. So, I am going to really try to soak up every last kick, punch, and roll. I can barely feel them on the outside of my belly, and I cannot wait for Chris to feel it too. I will never forget his reaction the first time he felt Micah move. It was pure sweetness. I have a feeling that this time will be no different.
I will be 21 weeks on Monday, but we do not know what baby love is yet. Dr. S likes to wait until 23-24 weeks to do the "big" ultrasound because he gets a better look at what he wants to see {the important stuff like the baby's organ development, etc.}, so we have our appointment scheduled for that on April 28. I am not all that anxious about finding out. I am definitely ready to be able to call this baby "he" or "she", but I am content to wait. Maybe God is helping me with my patience :) We just want our little bitty love to be healthy! That is most important.
There have been parts of this pregnancy where I honestly have grieved Micah not being the only child. Let me be clear that we NEVER considered only having 1 child, and I want Micah to grow up with brothers and sisters. But, our world has revolved around her for 16 months, and I know there are going to be a lot of changes for her. I have really prayed about this, and God is slowly giving me peace about it. Micah loves babies {both baby dolls and real babies}, and it is just too precious to watch her be so sweet to them and smile so big when she sees them. I know she is going to be a great big sister. So, I am continuing to pray for God to release some of those fears I have, which I hear are completely normal.
My belly is growing, growing. I feel like I am definitely getting into the pregnant phase and not just a little chubbier around the middle phase. I have started pulling out my maternity pants because they are just more comfortable, even if they are still a tad too big! I love when people just see me and ask about the baby. It's fun to carry that visible reminder around. Micah even knows where "momma's baby" is. Too cute.
Here are the latest belly pictures. I missed a week in there again. Oops.
We pray for our baby love every night. We are beyond thankful that God is blessing us with another sweet child to love. We are looking forward to being a family of 4 in just 19 weeks or so!
