moving forward

Since this is my very first blog post, I don't really know what I am doing. These first few posts are just going to be me trying out different things, learning the ropes of the blogging world. I hope you stand by with me as I learn.

It's hard to believe I am already over 6 months into my pregnancy! Aside from the nausea and constant feeling of being sick, it really has flown by. Now that things are starting to come together and the anticipation is getting to us, we are wanting more and more for the days to fly by so we can meet our little man.

This was a few weeks ago at 23 weeks, I am loving that I am starting to look pregnant!

I truly feel like I have doubled in size since then though! It truly is amazing how fast the little guy is growing. My beautiful cousin Jasey had her firstborn a few days ago, 10 lb 6 oz! What a trooper! She was amazing. So due to the fact that our little guy is only about a pound a half right now, I have no reason to complain. 

I pray that Matt and I take things in these last few months. Enjoy the holidays and time with family. Enjoy my growing belly, and all the "not so" wonderful pregnancy symptoms. Even the stretch marks...yes, I already have one tiny one! Enjoy all the little things to do and buy, because before we know it, this time will be over. It won't be just Matt and I any longer. And all this naivety of all these "firsts" will be over. We will have a whole new life that is completely dependent on us. And as much as we look forward to this new chapter in our life, we understand there are going to be huge changes, and we pray God prepares us for all the battles that parenthood has to offer.
