Pregnancy

Last week I reached 12 weeks in my pregnancy. It is a milstone that I have been looking forward to. Partly because it is nearing the end of my 1st trimester, something that I have thought all through would give me even more of a sound mind and spirit about this pregnancy, and also because it was when I had my first appointment scheduled for. Well we went in for our first appointment last Thursday. I was apprehensive about what it would be like. I knew that it would be emotional for me being as what we went through 4 1/2 months ago but I knew it was also something that I really needed. Well we got to hear the baby's heart beat. It was the most amazing sound to hear in the world. It was really quiet to begin with because the baby was all the way at the back towards the back of my body but as we continued to listen it came closer and so the heart beat became louder. I know it may sound interesting but after hearing the heart so loud and the midwife saying everything was going as it should be, I had this real peace just fill my heart and life.
I know that I will still probably have times of doubt but I am trusting God through this pregnancy. I am looking forward to what this child will be like. I believe God has great things in store for his/her life. I will continue to pray into that for our child and claim these things that I have spoken. I know that it will be a blessing to our lives.
I look forward to meeting you my "itty bitty." I am entrusting you in God's hands. I know that God will do great things in and through your life. In fact I believe He is already using you. You are a very special little baby. I can't wait to meet you and I know there are others who can't wait to meet you.
