What a cutie patootie!!!!!
Precious!
Lookin’ all cozy in my little womb π
How amazing! This little 1-inch person is snuggling and wiggling around inside of me already…wow.
I’ll be honest, I’ve struggled both with Gabriel and with this little one with the fear of miscarriage. I know that it’s a devastating but surprisingly common thing–especially before the 14-week mark. And many people I know have had to deal with one or more miscarriages, and several of those were past the 5-month mark.
I’ve found myself saying things a lot lately like, “Oh, we’re only 8 weeks along,” or “It’s still so early, you know…” But after seeing my ultrasound pictures and video today, I’m so inspired to commit myself to peace again, to trusting “as a little child” in God when it comes to this pregnancy and future ones. At literally 10 weeks and 6 days old, this little person I’m carrying has a heartbeat, head and arms and legs, and favorite ways to stretch and positions to nap.
One thing that Michael and I believe strongly is that every baby is a gift from God for as long as we are blessed with him or her.
Love and blessings from Houston on all of you today!

What a precious little one! I'm SO happy for you!
I have fears of having a miscarriage one day too, and this is how I look at it: even if I DO miscarry, I'll be at peace knowing that for the few short weeks of my baby's life, he or she was SO loved – what more could you give your baby?

I remember having really bad, sharp ligament pains with Joe, and of course, since he was my first baby to get that far in gestational age, I was freaked out! I didn't know what was going on. We went to the doctor and saw our little bean at 10 weeks old jumping around just like that! It is so amazing!
