17 + Weeks

My Mother told me that I could not worry and trust at the same time. She was right.

At 17+ Weeks, my belly continues to grow and so does my anxiety. I call my mother often when I am worried, upset and need some encouragement. She always turns it over to the Lord and refers to the word of God to help me re direct my thoughts. I am so blessed for her continued thoughts and prayers as well as others who are also praying.

We are very excited about this baby, and the longer we are pregnant the more we are in LOVE. Of course who wouldn't be, right? We spend allot of time talking about the baby, and praying. We love to look at baby stuff, and also look online allot at bedding and furniture for the nursery. We have been told the gender, but we are waiting to announce this news until I am 20 weeks.

I am starting to feel better, although I still have some bad days. For the most part though, the 2nd

trimester is going fairly well.

We use the doppler about every other night, this helps allot.

WE LOVE HEARING THE HEARTBEAT.
