Goodbye, First Trimester!

We've been faithfully praying for this day...the mark of the second trimester! After a challenging first pregnancy, your Daddy and I are aware of all the big pregnancy milestones we pray to hit. First on the list, second trimester.

After a big scare, around 9 weeks, we are so thankful that the last four weeks have been fairly smooth sailing. There has been the typical morning sickness, moodiness, and exhaustion...but all those things we know are serving their purpose in helping your perfect little body form. I still cannot believe that God has answered our prayers and we are a third of the way through this pregnancy.

Even in the midst of the challenges of our first pregnancy, I loved being pregnant and prayed it would happen again. This time around, I am tentatively faithful all will go well (what an oxymoron that is!). I prayed for a chance to have a "normal pregnancy" and I know God heard those cries and continues to answer them. I have faith this pregnancy will go smoothly so that I can enjoy a pregnancy outside of hospital walls. And yet there is still some uneasiness. Bedrest is more terrifying this time around with my first little miracles to chase around, but I also know worry and anxiety will not help in anyway. So, we keep praying, Little Peanut. We know God will help us celebrate many more pregnancy milestones along the way. And with each new milestone, we will shout, "Thank you, Lord!"
