The Miracle of Me

I have been reading this book to Jack since I found out I was pregnant. The author, Amy Pedersen commented on a post I made a while back and sent me a copy. I think this a wonderful book, full of amazing pictures and information written in a child like poetic manner.

Jack really likes the pictures and although I don't think he really understands what's going on or even that he's going to have a sibling, I really like being able to explain to him in some way what's going on in my womb!

My thoughts on delivering around Christmas..

I'm due December 23, 2009. TWO days before Christmas! I've been wondering how things will go if I end up going to 40 weeks or more like I did with Jack. Who wants to work on Christmas Eve or Christmas day? I keep imagining that I get rushed through labor and delivery due to the holiday...or heaven forbid talk of a c-section for some unnecessary reason.

Do you have a Christmas baby? What was your experience with bedside manner?

RIGHT: 14 weeks pregnant with Jack.

I am now 15 weeks and HUGE! When people told me that I would show quicker the second time around, they weren't lieing! I am wondering how this will effect the rest of my pregnancy. Will I even out? Will I have the baby earlier then I did Jack (he was born at 40 weeks 1 day)? Is this baby certain to weigh more? Jack weighed 8 lbs 5.4 oz! So many questions!

I am thankful that this pregnancy and the health and well being of the baby and I are in God's hands. I don't know what I'd do without Him. I am planning a VBAC and there is only so much I can control when planning for it. I am incredibly thankful that I have God on my side, He's in control and will take care of us both!
