14 weeks

I guess i thought I would hit the beginning of the 2nd trimester and something amazing would happen.  I think I expected to have fireworks go off (well I guess they sort of did around that time) and I would FEEL different and I would KNOW that something big is happening becausethere would just be this overwhelming sense of just BEING pregnant.  but the reality of it all is that life is still normal.  I actually don't think I would want it any other way.

The Lord has been gracious to give me weekly reminders of the AMAZING miracle that is happening right now with our little baby.   My favorite and more recent one was last Friday (the 4th of July) when Blair and I were at the Ventura street fair.  We passed by the Crisis Pregnancy Center's booth and we able to look at plastic full size replica of how big our baby is right now.  i had still been picturing this little bean looking baby in my belly, but wow it was amazing to see how big the baby is right now.  The baby is was bigger than my cell phone.  No wonder my belly is starting to grow!

This is this amazing little life growing inside me.  It's crazy to think about.  I think that both Blair and I were amazed to see how much of a little baby it was.  I know that sounds strange, but it's not a bean anymore ladies and gentlemen!  It's not a bean!
