Good Morning.

These peaceful mornings are doing good things for my soul.

I am still feeling wonderful today. With no morning sickness yet, I can't help but wonder how little one is doing. After two extrememly sick pregnancies, I can tell that this one feels so different. Is the pregnancy just different? Or is something wrong? There is so much fear the first few months of pregnancy. With something so delicate...anything can go wrong. All I can do is hope for a healthy baby, and that everything is ok. It this one is easy though, I will be extremely thankful.

5 weeks and 3 days today.

Looking forward to a day of creating with my girls. I have tissue paper ghosts planned to make and hang around the house. I love having the time to sit and watch my girls make things. Children's curiosity and imagination amaze me. It is boundless.

I am very thankful this morning to be a stay at home mom. My husband gives me this gift so graciously and I love him so much for this. He is the most unselfish man I have ever met. I am the luckiest woman in the world.

The Final Pregnancy

Knowing this is my final time being pregnant changes the way I look at this pregnancy. I want it to slow down a little... this is the last time I will ever be 5 weeks and 2 days pregnant. I cherish every little tenderness and twinge. I don't want it to end. This is what the little one looks like:

hard to believe this is going to grow into anything resembling a child. Some hilights of what is going on this week...
1. first signs of heartbeat begin.
2. umbilical cord develops
3. baby's blood is now pumping
4. most other organs start to develop
5. arm and leg buds appear

How amazing. I am so in love with this experience.
