Farewell old "intramuscular needle" friend!


So, I'm pleased to say that my body is officially on "auto pilot" in regards to this pregnancy! I am no longer on those, not so pleasant, nightly, intramuscular shots! Woo-whoo! I think that Kurt is just as excited as I am, poor guy. He did great though and I am so thankful to have a husband as supportive as him. He has really picked up my slack, and has done so without making me feel bad~even in the slightest bit! Whether he was helping me keep my meds straight, making me breakfast as quickly as he could (as I was getting sick in the bathroom), or simply taking on more responsibility around the house because I "just need to lay down", or "sit and relax"...he doesn't complain. He really is so excited to see this dream for Jeff & Denise come to fruition! As Denise mentioned in her prior post, I feel as though I have reverted back about 5wks as far as sickness goes. I feel it might be connected to some "tenderness" I've started having & also, my hunger (which had plateaued~at a healthy level~the last couple weeks) has started to become more intense again in the last week. So, maybe I just need to be more diligent about not letting my stomach go empty.
I have nearly perfected the art of finding both babies with the doppler! Our first try took nearly an hour to find only one of them and now I am able to find both within just a couple minutes. Once I find "A" I can usually track "B" fairly quickly...it's similar to tracking the constellations!
It never ceases to amaze me, the miracle of pregnancy. Every time I listen to those heartbeats I am overwhelmed at the thought of these tiny little bodies, perfectly formed with all their parts, growing at the speed of light inside of me. I am also overwhelmed at Gods marvelous hand, how He uses man to carry out His Will. Isn't it amazing to think of all the things in our lives that we are surprised about or marvel at, and to know that none of it surprises God? To know that He knew about this before we were even formed is almost incomprehensible. How does a mere man comprehend that? Faith. Faith that we are walking in His Will, letting Him lead our every step...following the path that He has laid before us.
