You asked for it so here it is. I am now 15 weeks and 4 days pregnant. Who's counting though right?! It's crazy how you keep track of the days and weeks.. I used to think I'd forget how far along I was, but when you are pregnant, the baby is pretty much all that consumes your thoughts. So it is pretty hard to forget!
I am realizing more now than ever that this life is a big waiting game. You are always waiting for something to happen or the next big milestone
...or at least I am.
In high school you wait to see who is going to ask you to the junior prom,
you wait to see what college you are going to attend.
In college you wait to hear what grades you got,
you wait to see if you passed that test,
you wait for that Mr. Right to come along,
and you wait for the day to graduate.
And now in pregnancy,
you wait to hear the babies heartbeat,
you wait to find out the gender,
you wait for the first time you get to feel that little baby move inside,
you wait till you are 15 weeks and then you make it and then have to wait till you are 20 weeks, etc. and then you are so anxious to see what that little baby of yours looks like.
Then when the baby is born
you wait for that first smile, giggle and wave,
you wait for that first crawl and/or step, and then life isn't about you anymore.
It's about that little baby or little babies who aren't so much babies anymore.
It's all a big game! This game of life. It is all so amazing! Heavenly Father is so amazing and smart and did and does things for a reason. And those reasons I am so thankful for!
This big waiting game thing is quite an adventure! You would think all this waiting would get old, but it exciting! There is always something new, and I love it!
I can't wait to meet our little baby girl!

ReplyDeleteHey Marie, this is random but I thought I'd at least mention it. A friend of mine here has twin girls that are 3. She is pregnant with a boy and selling some "girl" stuff. She has it on her blog. Go to mine and then go to "The Ahlanders." She is very neat, clean, organized, etc. It is super cute, like crib bedding. Again, just a thought if you are at all interested.
