The Miracle of Birth

For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb.
I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.

Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.
My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret,
intricately woven in the depths of the earth.

Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.
Psalm 139:13-16

I'm 30 weeks now and getting more anxious that little one will come too early (especially since I've been having lots of brax-hicks contractions) This reminds me that the One who created the universe holds this precious life in His Hands too.

Funny things about weight gain

I find it so curious that at my Dr. appt at the end of April I found out that I had gained 7 POUNDS in 1 MONTH!

So I stopped eating ice cream every night :) and limited myself to just the week-ends. That was all I changed about my eating habits. 3 weeks later I got weighed again and only gained...1 pound in 3 weeks! How does that work??

3rd Trimester

Well, today I reached the last stage! I can't believe that it is going so fast, yet it already feels like I've been pregnant forever. And we were able to get all the "big" projects done before now. I even bought some newborn diapers just cuz it made me feel better to have them already. Now its time to get all the clothes and baby gear out....and for some reason I still think this baby is going to be early like Abigail. I am feeling much, much better, but the baby is still sooo low that sometimes I worry its just gonna fall right out.

Another update...My husband got a job :) He will start the last week of May, but the first 4 months he will be studying for 2 licensing exams and traveling (the first week of travel is the week baby is due!!) for training. We now have to switch insurances and Dr's and the hospital! So I've been a bit anxious the past week..but God has been good to bring Scripture to mind that reminds me He is in control and sovereign over all things. Tomorrow we will take a tour of the new hospital and then pick new Dr's, and I think I am going to end up liking this new one even better (at least the people are much more friendlier).
