16 Weeks!

Today I am 16 weeks! It feels amazing to get to this point.

Kevin & I have been on a roller coaster ride of emotions for almost the last year. We had several ups and downs with getting pregnant that definitely took a toll on my emotions at times, but I will say it made me trust in God more than ever. This was completely in HIS hands. He is the creator of all things and God has a plan for everyone!

One Saturday morning in February I was dying to take a pregnancy test as we knew this would be the day we found out if it happened this time or not. I'm very impatient, but waited til that day, but honestly couldn't wait once I woke up and it was like 5AM. I took the test and waited and got back in bed with Kevin. We actually got to see the results together, which was a great experience to share! I cried, I was happy, I was so thankful to God for blessing us in this way after many many months.

I have been super nervous though throughout the past 16 weeks of something happening. I have been cautious with my emotions knowing that it could be taken away at any moment. Around 12 weeks I felt a bit of relief to get to that point and to see my baby actually moving around for the first time. It was more real to me than ever and I let my guard down a bit.

But now getting to 16 weeks, I feel more confident that this happening. Not that I didn't think it was before, but just I was cautiously aware that something could happen. I just think with all the ups and downs we've had previously, I was more guarded once it became a reality.

Monday we have a doctors appointment and I am really really hoping that they confidently confirm if we are having a boy or a girl. The sonogram technician told us she's 80% sure of what we're having at our last appointment, but this time our doctor will be looking. I hope he is confident in what he sees so we don't have to wait another 4 weeks to know for sure! I'm ready to start planning!!!! This is the time I've been waiting for since we found out we were pregnant.

Hopefully next week I can share what we are having!

Today our baby is 4-5 inches long and about the size of an Avocado!!!
