The 1st trimester is over. Wow. I'm seriously hoping this means my daily goodmorning "conversations" with the toliet bowl will end soon. :) I'm also hoping that in just 2 weeks we will be able to find out if we will be parents to a daughter or son. Anyone who knows me, knows I am horrible at waiting. I always want to give people their presents before their birthday and although I love surprises, I'm not good at waiting for them. So, this wait has been a challenge for me. Last night one of my sweet players gave me a baby gift because she was so excited for me. It was a little newborn swim suit. And she gave me one for a girl and one for a boy. So precious. They both are adorable!
Some thoughts on pregnancy so far:
1. It's crazy how quickly the baby develops. At 5 weeks, my baby's heart was beating. At 6 weeks, we got to see the heart beating on an ultrasound. At 10 weeks the baby has already started moving, even though he/she is only as big as a prune. At 12 weeks, basically everything is formed and will just now continue to grow and develop. I'm blown away at how early all this happens. Truly a miracle.
2. Other than being sick, it's sometimes sureal because you can't see or feel the baby.
3. I've never been this tired in my life. Not even when I frequently pulled all-nighters in college and then had to go to practice.
4. I can take precautions and eat healthy but the truth is God is creating this baby EXACTLY how He desires; and in HIS image. Oh, how I rest in this truth.
5. It's amazing the love I have for a being I haven't met or held or touched yet. I love you sweet baby. I can't wait to hold and love on you!
And isn't it crazy how people can say that they are not a child that early in pregnancy :) I can't wait to hold your baby either
