Today I am officially 14 weeks and in the 2nd Trimester. Baby H is the size of a lemon and is using his/her facial expressions and may be sucking his/her thumb! It's truly amazing to think about!
This week I am excited that our pregnancy announcement has been made! I was a little nervous posting our great news on Facebook, but I figure that nervous feeling won't go away. I am a worry wart in general, so this may be a long 40 weeks for me.
I also had second thoughts about posting my infertility struggle because it's such a personal thing to talk about... but I am so happy did. I received many messages from people thanking me for sharing my journey and many who shared their story with me as well. It seems infertility is a topic that is so private. I felt so alone, for so long. And I know it's nice to find others who have gone through similar experiences. I am such a people person, and if me sharing my personal journey helps anyone, then it's worth it to me!!!
Well, I officially can not button my jeans. I have had a hard time with this and I know it sounds absolutely ridiculous. But I have had a bad self image this week and I have been praying God helps me get past that. I know God is creating a miracle inside me and I am SO thankful for that gift. And I find myself comparing my pregnancy progress to others. Which is also ridiculous. I need to remember that every woman is different and this process is a beautiful thing that I need to embrace!
Thanks to everyone for the "likes" on Facebook, the sweet comments and wonderful messages we received! You are all a blessing! Here are some pictures that my amazing, talented friend Sarah took for us. So thankful she documented these and our amazing journey we are on! :)
Love,
Kristin
