The child growing inside of me...

How can I describe the life growing inside of me? Amazing, wonderful, miraculous? All of the above and then so much more. We had our third ultrasound today. He is beautiful. You could see his eyelids, his lips, his fingernails. Oh, I wish I could show everyone what we saw. He was sucking on his hand. He even stuck out his tongue. He is wonderful. He still doesn't have a name yet but that will come with time. I love to feel him move inside of me. You that are mothers know that feeling. It's a feeling like nothing else in this world. NOTHING could ever compare to is. I love my baby so much and he isn't even here yet. I am excitedly anticipating his arrival.

Speaking of his arrival, we still have 10 weeks left and this child already weighs 4 1/2 lbs. Let's think realistically here. In the past month he has put on 2 lbs. We still have 2 1/2 months left. IF he only puts on 2 lbs per month (which is not realistic at all) he will weigh 9 lbs. We all know that babies get good and fat there at the very end. OUCH! What am I gonna do? Drugs are not an option. Blech! Pain! And lots of it.

Marcus and I were having a conversation about carrying someone elses child for them. He didn't understand how I could say that I would. Now mind you I made it perfectly clear that I would only be doing that for my sisters (one of which I know doesn't want anymore kids). So that safely leaves me only possibly doing it for the other. Marcus kept saying how could you give up a baby that you know is yours? But in reality, that baby would not be mine, it would be my sister and her husbands. I would merely be the packaging of the most precious gift anyone could ever give. I honestly could only do it for my sisters. That miraculous feeling that only a mother can feel is too wonderful to just give away a baby.

SOAP BOX TIME...Shame on you women who destroy these wonderful blessings from God!

I AM BACK!!!!!

I am back ladies and gentlemen! We are officially back in the phone game. Yay!!!!! I can blog, and I can email, and I can research, and I can talk! I am so happy. I am a happy happy woman, well, for now anyway. That will change daily until this child is outside of my body! Curse those hormones!

Due March 8,(or Feb. 22 by ultrasound), so that leaves us officially 11 weeks and 2 days. Ugh! I think I can make it though, that is if I don't go crazy first. That or die of heartburn. Has that ever actually happened? Sometimes I think it could.

Well, life is good and I just wanted to blog because I could! Catch ya on the flip side!
