19 Weeks

19 Weeks

So here I am in all my 19 weeks glory. I thought it would be interesting to take the shot in the same outfit I wore during my 16 weeks belly shot since I was wearing it last night anyway. I’ve definitely rounded out a bit over the last three weeks (not only in my belly, but also in my face apparently). The funny thing is, I hadn’t even realized how much. I guess that means the baby is growing in there just as it should be.

A few days ago I realized that I hadn’t been feeling the baby move around much and started to worry just a little bit. Apparently, my worrying was totally unnecessary, because ever since then it has been jumping all around in there. I can’t say I mind much though. At this point it is still nice to feel those tiny movements. I’m sure before long I won’t enjoy them as much.

30 Days of ThanksToday I am thankful for this baby growing in my belly. There was a brief period of time when Hubby and I weren’t sure if we would ever have any children of our own. We went through a series of fertility tests and were told that having children was not impossible for us, only that it would be a little difficult. Fortunately, all it took was a bottle of medicine to combat my PCOS and eventually everything lined up just right. Now here we are four years later with not only one beautiful child but another one on the way. We are blessed indeed.

30 Days of Thanks – Day 1

30 Days of Thanks When I decided to sign up for all this NaBloPoMo business, I also joined a few groups that were forming over there. One of the groups I joined is the “30 Days of Thanks” group. Not only did I assume it would help me come up with a decent amount of blog material to get through the month, but it also kind of forces me into spending some time reflecting and appreciating what I have instead of complaining (which I generally prefer to do).  I’m thinking that could be a nice change of pace for a while.

On this first day of thankfulness,  I have family in my mind.  I am very thankful that I live so close to my mom, dad, sister, and brother.  As most people do, I’ve come to appreciate my family much more as an adult than I ever did as a child and I don’t know what I would do without them.  I know they are always there for me and I, in turn, am always here should they need something.  Having family nearby also means that Zach will get to grow up with most of his cousins and will get to experience a closeness to his cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents that I never had.  It is one of the things that I always wished for and I’m so glad that I will get to experience it through him.
