Long overdue...

So I'm going to fast forward a bit, okay maybe a lot...We're currently 19 weeks pregnant and thanking God each and every day! So why has it taken me 19 whole weeks to post on my blog? Well, I could easily say that my delay was due to the general sleepiness that comes with pregnancy and the hectic work schedule I've been keeping up lately. However, I must admit that in addition to those facts I think I let a little bit of fear creep in and was unsure if I should share my blog in the event that the unspeakable were to happen again. But I've decided that I'm not going to allow fear to run the show. Instead, I'm going to trust that this baby is growing healthy and will make his or her miraculous debut in early January just as God has planned. 

So let me bring you all up to speed. I'm feeling great. Now that I'm into the second trimester my energy is back up. I'm proudly sporting a belly (and loving it). I have to say that I'm even excited to step on the scale and see that I've gained 12 lbs so far. Wow! I never thought I'd say that. All of our doctors visits have been terrific. Baby is measuring properly and we are just so grateful. As if all of this amazing news isn't enough...I'm actually starting to feel the baby move! It's the coolest thing ever! I intend to keep up on my blog from here on out so stay tuned more updates. 

2 Timothy 1:7
“For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”
