Oh, and one more thing...

So, I never finished my "giving thanks" blogging.  I am actually shocked that I made it 26 days though!!  I was saving day 30 for something really exciting, but then I chickend out. 

Soooo...today I will do my day 30 thankful post.

I am thankful for the little tiny baby growing in my belly.  :)  Yesterday marked the end of the first trimester so I feel a little more comfortable announcing it.  Plus if you see my belly it is kind of obvious.  I actually look much further along than 13 weeks.

Because of the complications with Mason, I was told I would be monitored more closely.  So far though, things have been normal so I have not had much extra care at this point.  I am just keeping my fingers crossed that I can make it to 36 weeks.  Sometimes I think ANYTHING over 30 weeks will be a blessing, but I really want to make it to what they call "full term" at 36 weeks.  I highly doubt I will make it further than that, but I hope that I am pleasantly suprised.  I would even take 41 weeks if it meant a healthy non-NICU baby (even if I am miserable!!). 

Anyway, I ask for prayers for this pregnancy.  IT has taken me 2 years of wanting a baby for me to get to this point.  We talked adoption and other options as well, and finally one day a few months ago I finally felt an incredible peace about having another one and literally less than a month later I found out I was pregnant.  I pray that I can keep my nerves calm and the stress of life at a minimum right now.  I am super anxious about what is to come, but I have to control all of those feelings to keep my blood pressure down.

Right now I am just so thankful that I have the chance to be the Mommy to another little punkin!  :)
