Yesterday made 28 weeks of pregnancy. I am so happy–happier than I can put into words–to be at this milestone.
In the very beginning of my pregnancy, I was very anxious. I was nervous that every ache and pain signified something bad. I don’t know if I’ve told the story of the day we found out but I didn’t know how badly I wanted our baby at this time in our lives (you know, there were those other pesky feelings like fear and nervousness that crept in) until I thought the pregnancy test was a negative. After the positive, I anxiously awaited our first ultrasound appointment.
That first appointment came at around 9 weeks. Once we got to see our baby where he was supposed to be and hear his heartbeat, I felt a lot better. Fast forward to last week when I had bad round ligament pain. Even walking hurt and at one point, I could feel my hip joints shifting. Crazy, huh? Well I called my doctor and he told me to go in for precaution. Thank God all was well! Deep down I knew it was a normal symptom of pregnancy but I just wanted to be sure. In my opinion, it’s always best to be sure. If nothing else, it definitely eases my mind.
So here we are at the long-anticipated final trimester. I want to enjoy this time with him in my tummy as much as possible… but I also am so excited to meet him outside of my tummy and to see his little healthy human self.
This whole experience has been amazing. I count my blessings everyday to get to experience this miracle. Our little dream come true.
