Baby Bigs 20 Week Update

Today marks 20 weeks of pregnancy! Man oh man has the time gone by fast! It feels like just yesterday I was texting my sister and 2 best friends to see if they saw the second line on the pregnancy test or if I was loosing my mind. You see, we weren't sure if I could get pregnant. A month after we got married I had a small surgery to see why my ovaries were giving me such bad issues for nearly a year. The surgeon found endometriosis and removed a sac that was hanging from the back side of my uterus. Strange. So strange this body of mine. Fibromyaglia. Now Endometriosis. It's crazy to think that I could possibly not be carry this child. It's amazing to think that the Lord has given me this incredible gift. It still brings me to tears to think about it.

So now we're 20 weeks along and I'm getting up 2-3 times a night to use the restroom and having to share my queen size bed not only with my husband but with a body pillow as well. But we are making it. We are making it through these crazy times. We are learning to share with each other. How to lean on one another. And most importantly how to lean on Christ through it all.

God is good and He will remain good. There is nothing I can do to change that.

18 weeks along

Today marks my 18th week in my pregnancy. Time is flying by. I can't believe that I'm almost half way through my pregnancy! Luckily I've had a fairly easy time. Even in my first trimester I only had morning sickness right before bed. I know that I am extremely blessed to have such low key symptoms. When I found I was pregnant I was preparing myself for the worst... I was terrified (I still am) that my fibromyalgia would flare something fierce and that I would be miserable for the next 9 months. I am forever grateful that this hasn't happened! I'm grateful that my nausea was only in the evening when I was at home and in private. I can't imagine getting sick at work and having to push through that. I admire women who do have to live through that. I admire the women who are sick the whole 9 months! You are the real champions!

My aunt got me a really cool scrap book from Blink Box Collection that I have been using (pictured above). This weeks card asks: "things I miss most before the belly:" instantly I think SKINNY JEANS! I'm glad summer is coming and I no longer have to wear boots with every outfit because my skinny jeans haven't fit since about week 10! Ha! I think something else I miss is sleeping on my stomach or on my back. Now I do still slip this sometimes at night. There's just something comforting about sleeping on my stomach that I can't quite give up yet.

That's all I have tonight so I'll wrap this post up with a bump picture. I hope you have a wonderful day or night!

XOXO,
Aubrie
