Time flies when you're expecting a baby...

I'm noticing that as time goes by, it's going by quickly! I was going over some old blog posts and read the one where we announced being pregnant. It just seems like yesterday that we found out, now we are almost 19 weeks already! For as excited as we are, I wish time would slow down a little too. We have so much to look forward to, showers to attend, registries to create, and decorating- I'm trying to take each moment and savor it! 

All my life I've wanted to be a mother and I'm so close. It brings me to tears thinking how God would be so trusting to place a tiny seed in me to want to be a mother and then to be so faithful to allow it to come to fruition. He is good and He is truly the giver of good gifts! 

As I said before, we are about 19 weeks and things are really starting to change. It seems my belly popped out over night! I notice now that bending over is difficult and sleeping at night is becoming a challenge. I don't feel sick anymore, just the occasional craving. I feel movements constantly, which is reassuring and encouraging. I have an ultrasound this week and will possibly even be able to find out what the baby's gender is! Very excited!! We will likely announce it within the next couple of weeks! 

Feeling so blessed today! Give God thanks! :)
