Reflections


I thought that it would be fun to reflect on my 4th month of pregnancy so you can all keep following in this journey!!!

What I least expected with this pregnancy was: To even be having a pregnancy!! That may sound crazy but for those of you that may not know Chris and I we weren't even trying on birth control in fact!! It was just truly a gift and on someone elses clock if you know what I mean :)
The best bit of advice I've received is: To not drink to much before bed otherwise you will be up in the bathroom all night LOL!! Okay well I've learned a few more significant things. The main one is to not try to know everything about everything that is going to happen, because you will set yourself up for failure.
What has changed the most in my life with this pregnancy is: My relationship with Chris it has just grown so strong it is unbeleiveable what a creation of a new life can do to you as a couple. All I can say is there is nothing like it and sharing those experiences together.
What made me realize that I was really pregnant was: The very first time we had an ultrasound at 8 weeks. The Dr. told us to look very closely and asked if we could see anything fluttering? When we looked I teared up it was our little baby's heart beating over 150 times per minute AMAZING that is when I realized.
This month's ultrasound was: Amazing we went for our 19 week unltrasound to see if it was a boy or girl!! Well if you haven't heard it's a BOY!!!!! we got to see his heart beating, his little feet and hands forming. The best part is that they said he is 100% perfect which is all I wanted to hear. So needless to say this months ultrasound was all I was hoping it would be.
At my prenatal visit this month I discovered that: My sweet baby has a heartbeat that is so strong and healthy! It truly is amazing to hear it is really beginning to feel real.
My hopes: My hopes are for my baby mainly to be healthy and come into this world to their loving family and be able to grow, live normal, and experience life it's a crazy ride but a beautiful one.
My fears: My fears are unexplainable yet I don't like to live with fears just hopes....
