- For me, it starts out with amazement - "I really got pregnant THAT fast...WOW!"
- Then turns to worry - "Is this a viable pregnancy?" This is usually coupled with a NEED to see/hear baby's heartbeat for the first time.
- Next is a bit of anticipation - "Was THAT the baby moving? COOL!"
- As the big ultrasound approaches, it returns to worry - "Is everything 'normal'?" We had a little scare this time with the choroid plexus cysts, but thankfully all is well.
- After as much reassurance as you can possibly get while baby is in utero, things return to awe and anticipation - "What will baby look like?" and for us "I wonder if it's a boy or a girl?"
Now, as I sit 31 weeks pregnant, only 9 weeks to go (or probably 10 in my case!) I sit and wonder WHY I worried so much. All that really matters is that from the moment I saw that positive pregnancy test, my heart has been filled with love for another person...another life that we created to bring into this world.
Pregnancy is truly one of the few chances we get in this world to assist God in a miracle, and I'm going to enjoy every single minute of it. My life has been blessed with three beautiful children...and I can't wait to meet our newest little miracle face to face - instead of just foot to ribcage :)

Once again, thanks for reminding us what is really important! And worrying comes with the territory...moms are supposed to worry about their kids, from age 0 (or -1) to 100!
You make me want to have another baby. (But we know that's NOT going to happen!)
