Half Way!!

I'm almost through the 19th week of my pregnancy!! Thank the Lord I've made it this far ... and I still don't even believe I am really going to have another baby!!
In fact, this week, I had this bizarre feeling that I wasn't even pregnant or maybe I wasn't pregnant any more ... or you know how weird thoughts go through your mind in the middle of the night (or maybe you don't know ... but I have weird thoughts a lot!) :)

I haven't really felt the baby move (normal, I know, especially since they say the thinner the woman, the sooner they feel the baby move --- which means I probably won't feel anything for many more weeks to come!). I am still able to somewhat sleep on my stomach (which is one thing I remember really missing at the end of my last pregnancies!). I don't waddle or feel huge yet ... which is all good - there's plenty of time for that. BUT it all makes me forget I'm pregnant sometimes!!

However, if you look at me, I guess I am finally starting to LOOK a little pregnant. :) I know this will probably be my last pregnancy - and so I am trying to enjoy each moment, especially because I've been blessed with feeling really well this time so far. I want to document each moment better - not for anyone else but myself. I will probably never again experience this phenomenon again ... and it truly IS a miracle!! Without modern medicine I may have never experienced it once - let alone several times and at the "elder maternal age" of 38! ;) I know many women who would love to have children haven't been able to - and many who have lost children ... and it makes me even more appreciative of the blessing to carry a new life.
