Not much has changed in the last week, but I am happy to say I have reached 18 weeks. I am getting ever closer to the halfway point and that is a good feeling. Sometimes I have a hard time believing I have known about this pregnancy for 12 weeks and other times it seems like the time is going so slowly.
The 40 +/- weeks of pregnancy can sometimes seem like forever. However, when I think about the fact that my first baby is 11 it seems like the 9 months she was growing inside me were like the blink of an eye. While I will be so excited to hold my precious baby in April, I don’t want to wish away this pregnancy. I want to enjoy the blessing that this pregnancy is.
Feeling my baby move, hearing Joshua mention every member of our family and then say “and our little baby, too”, and having Joseph rub my belly and say “nice baby” are tender moments I don’t want to wish away.
So, as I sit here excitedly looking forward to my ultrasound next week, I am trying to remind myself to just enjoy this time.
