Happy 4th

I am shocked that today marks my fourth annual blog-o-versary ... can you believe it; I've been shouting from the rooftops for all to hear ... for four years??! ... And I'm so fortunate to say that four years later, I have an amazing son and a bun in the oven - when I didn't think I would.

I'm so grateful.

In honor of that I will share my most recent belly pic :) This is me, the morning after our NT scan, 12w2d.

Check out my belly-zilla!

So very happy for you Polly. Thats wonderful. someone has a plan for you, thats for sure. Science only holds the answers to a few things. My AMH read 0.8 pcmol/l (at age 30) in November. Told donor eggs were the way. January brings me a spontaneous pregnancy - a boy who is now kicking the laptop around. Please please keep us updated and ill be sending out good thoughts to you.

They say that in the second pregnancy you show much sooner and, by gosh, it's true. You're SO OBVIOUSLY preggers! Congrats! I am NOT surprised at all by your funky-betas-turn-into-a-baby 'cause it just happens too often. But I'm delighted you're having another little bundle. Best wishes!

Words to live by ... (my current top five list of scripture verses I'm clinging to)

(Joel 2:25) "Then I will make up to you for the years that the swarming locust has eaten; the creeping locust, the stripping locust and the gnawing locust. My great army which I sent among you.
(Psalm 139: 13-14) For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
(Luke 1:37) For nothing is impossible with God
(Eph 3:20-21) Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
(Habakkuk 3:17) "Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior."
