20 weeks

well, I'm half way there...or over half way. Abigail came a bit early, so I could be already half-way done :) It kinda feels nice to be "showing" more. Since it is still cold here, there are days when I still can hide my little bump! but I also have this desire to get things done. fast. I just don't want to be buying diapers and wipes the day I go into labor like last time :) So I've made a little deadline for ourselves that we will get the room ready and the major things bought before the 3rd trimester...which gives us about 8 weeks! Yikes..better get started...

Medical update

Just a quick update. First, thank-you to all of you have been praying for me. My spirits have lifted quite a bit since I last wrote. Also, God graciously gave me a great Dr. appt. on Tuesday. It was not my regular OB, but I did ask her about the baby/placenta thing. She was very hopeful that as time went on and I got bigger that the baby should move up on its own. I should also have another ultrasound done next month since they didn't get to finish it, and then we will see if the physical restrictions will be lifted.

Also, my heart murmur has already disappeared!

I was reminded this week by our care group leader that "God shall supply all of your need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:19). When I take my eyes off the cross and dwell on my circumstances it is so easy to get anxious and despair. But when I keep Christ central, than I am reminded that if he has already paid for my sin in full, he will provide for all these temporal needs.
