Reflections of the Way Life Used to Be

I cannot believe that it is already July...and boy is it hot??!!  I am certainly enjoying my summer break and also enjoying the fact that I am indeed pregnant :)  I don't those words will ever get tired to me. Since I have been home over summer break, I have had some time to think about the difference in my outlook from this time last year.  We had already started our journey and by this time of the year, I was starting to question why we weren't getting pregnant. I was hearing of friends starting their families and people continuously bugging us about having a baby and I was on the cusp of being frustrated and a bit jealous that our journey was still going on.  At that time I had no idea that it would take a full year to finally get pregnant.  But, thanks to God, we are now 11 weeks into our pregnancy.  I was listening to the prayer that was prayed after we exchanged vows and, as my mother so frequently reminds me, he actually prayed for our offspring. We were so happy when we got married and were so hopeful about the future.  We had no idea how many changes we would h in just the first 5 years of marriage.  I have to remember to pray and hold fast to the fact that God will not put more on you than you can bare. So reflecting on how life used to be I know I would not trade it for anything. 

With that said, I am still at the point where I can't tell that I am pregnant...except when I don't take the Phenegren or  Zofran that my doctor gave me for nausea :) I take Zofran in the morning and a Phenegren at night but if I forget to take one or just think that I'm feeling better so I don't need to take the medicine, I certainly feel it the next day.  My clothes no longer fit but I don't have enough of a belly to make the maternity clothes look ok on me...so I am in an awkward position.  However, I am loving the fact that materniy clothes have an elestic waistline which means that the next couple of months of attire are going to be heaven for me!  I have a friend who is in her 9th month of pregnancy and she looks so good...she makes pregnancy look so easy. I just hope my 9 months will be half as fabulous as she makes it look!  We go for our next check up on July 9.  Remember us and say a little prayer that we still have a heartbeat when we go.  Reflecting while we enjoy our destination on how far we have come, and how much we have to look forward to...
