Half-Baked!

It seems like just a few weeks ago I was slumped over in the shower, bawling, and staring at a positive pregnancy test and here I am, twenty weeks pregnant! Not just pregnant, but unbelievably happy pregnant! Sometimes it's still hard to believe where we were and where we are now.

I have truly enjoyed every day of this pregnancy (other than the days I was sick with a head cold) and have made sure to appreciate the true miracle growing inside my ever-growing belly. I've caught myself a handful of times, wishing I was bigger, wishing I was closer to my due date, and wishing I was holding our beautiful newborn baby. Then I stop and remind myself to s-l-o-w  d-o-w-n. I know soon enough I'll have that beach ball belly and then will be a week past my due date and finally, holding our baby. So for now, I will enjoy the fact that I'm pregnant!! and enjoy all the things that come with it, fun or not.

The first half of this pregnancy has been wonderful; I really have no reason to complain. I think God may have given me a pass on the nausea, cramping and other symptoms that don't need to be said, so I can enjoy this pregnancy after all the hardships it took to get here. I thank him every single night when I go to bed, for without him, I wouldn't be in this place. However, I may be asking for a few favors soon enough. I would love to spend the next twenty weeks heartburn and cankle free, but if not, I'll still be a happy, smiling, pregnant momma-to-be!
