Fearfully and wonderfully made

You would think that being my 4th child, a sonogram wouldn't be a big deal. But yesterday it was a wonderful experience. Since I've been so sick there are times I have to honestly say that I don't feel excited for the pregnancy part- love the baby and so thankful but not excited as I feel like puking all the time. I know it's all b/c I feel rotten, and first trimester is always hard b/c you're getting bigger and feel sick and you can't feel the baby yet. So yesterday I went to the OB and they did another ultrasound since my first one was when the baby was so little. Let me say it was amazing to see how much it had grown in just 3 weeks! The baby was looking right at us and I could see it's arms moving! It is 2 cm big (about the size of a gummy bear) and it was just beautiful! It made all the sickness so worth it and it helped me to bond even more with this precious child! I could see it's head and face and arms and legs. So beautiful! I kept thinking of Psalm 139:14 "I praise you for I am fearfully and wonderfully made." Thank you Lord for creating this child and giving me a peek into how special and wonderful it is!

  1. I can relate to getting giddy all over again! When we planned for Anneliese and had all that anticipation it was seriously like having my first all over again. So much excitement, anticipation, and joy that comes with new life.
