It's been far too long since I've jumped on here with an update, but update there is and this is a BIG one!
We're pregnant! I don't know what else to say except that we just feel so blessed, excited, and thrilled!
Baby's due date: June 2nd, 2022
How far along: 16 weeks (will be 17 this Thursday!)
How E and I found out: E bought a few pregnancy tests for me and we waited for the results together. Honestly, one of the best moments in our marriage. It is an incredible memory together!
Baby's size: Baby is currently the size of an avocado!
1st trimester symptoms: Nausea, constant bloat and burping, extreme fatigue, many food aversions, constant hunger (despite the food aversions, sadly), frequent urination.
2nd trimester symptoms: thankfully just mild bloat. Other than that, the fatigue has lessened and I can enjoy food a little more! The constant peeing has subsided and praise God for no more nausea!!!
Best moment so far: Every single ultrasound.
Worst moment so far: My papsmear and that one time I was so bloated I was in excruciating pain. Thank goodness for Gas-X!
Cravings: Anything that is fruit and anything carbonated! I just need something fresh!
We are excited for this child and our prayers are that we would be the parents that God has called and entrusted us to be. What a responsibility, but also, what a gift. E and I recognize the reality that conceiving is not an easy journey for everyone, so we remember that our God good and gracious in that He would bless us with one so soon. We thank God for this good and precious gift and look forward to this new season.
