10 Weeks!

Well we've made it past the 10 week mark. I have to be honest and tell you that I haven't felt the greatest lately. I've experienced some really light cramping which has made me a little uneasy, but I keep confessing life over me and this baby. The funny thing about First Trimester pregnancy is that there are so many symptoms that are normal. . .but could also mean something is wrong. My husband and I laugh about it all the time. I'll say, "Gosh, my back is really killing me." And he'll say, "What does that mean?" To which I respond, "Well the books say it's normal. . .but it could also mean you are about to have a miscarriage." It's a cruel joke that we've just decided to laugh about. Not to mention that I've just stopped reading those books.

I attended a women's conference at my church this weekend and the speaker talked about having spiritual eye guards. Little blinders that stick to either side of your head, keeping out the peripheral distractions that Satan loves to throw at us all the time. I've experienced so many potential distractions in the past week. It's pretty tiring to continue to contend against them all. . .but we have no other choice but to fight.

This Friday I will go in for another ultrasound. I am so excited that I get to visit my doctor Heather this time. I feel like I'm coming home. It is a huge step of faith. . .going in this Friday, as it is my 31st birthday that day. I was hesitant to schedule the appointment for that day, but then I figured what better way to walk in complete faith then to position myself to have to trust Him so desperately for this next milemarker.

We could never thank you all enough for standing with us. As I feel our faith rise to the next level, I feel the faith of our friends and family rise as well. I pray that as you've joined us on this journey, your faith has risen to new heights so that when the Lord requires for you to trust Him more deeply, complete faith will be the only response you have in you.
