Just recently I have heard of two tragedies that have really made my heart so thankful for my life, husband, and baby boy kicking me as I write. Our neighbor lost their little girl in labor, she was a stillborn. It shattered my heart for them, I really can't imagine what that would be like, to go through 9 months of pregnancy, have a name, nursery and an expectant heart and the little baby is dead. They are in my prayers. It makes me so thankful, undescribedly so, everytime our little guy kicks or flips.
The next is a young husband with 4 little boys and a lovely wife passing away in the middle of the night due to a sudden heart attack. WOW! That can really rock your faith and really make you ask why? Sometimes hubby's can be tough (wifey's can be too :) but this reminds me that I am so blessed to have a wonderful, loving, husband that constantlly provides and uplifts me. I know he will make such a wondeful daddy. This family is in my prayers as well.
Our boy is now roughly 15 inches long and 2 lbs! That's longer than a sheet of legal paper haha! Can you tell I work in an office :) I know he's getting big cause instead of occasional kicks I can feel him full on ROLL in my belly! Not for long, I hear he'll be running out of room to romp here soon.
Ultrasound - in 1 week and 1 day!
In the meantime I am sweating over my registry, wondering if I chose the right things, too many things, missed anything vital. It's torture I stare at it for hours. I wish I could be the OCD about my closet being organized or getting the laundry out of the baskets and into the dresser. My goal-to have my life somewhat organized before this boy comes in and I have no desire, nor anytime to organize. I truly do look up to and admire those that are OCD about the proper things in life.
Here's to those that are organized, if you would like to come over and help me I am ready willing and able to apply your advise to my scattered life.
much love!
