Ryan and I had an incredible update
at this week’s ultrasound appointment, and were on cloud nine. Baby Caleb is growing and developing at
the expected rate, and his little tummy will hopefully only need a couple minor
surgeries. We have seen miracle
after miracle these last few months, and know it is because of the prayers and
faith of so many.
It has been incredible to look back
on this pregnancy and see where Ryan and I have been stretched. Personally I have noticed a better
ability to let go of things I can’t control. I am a planner, a stewer, a thinker…and this pregnancy has
helped me be more flexible?
Possibly more relaxed? And
my biggest fear before getting pregnant was being able to connect to my baby. Ryan and I are in LOVE with this baby,
and he’s not even here yet. It has
truly been an experience that has brought Ryan and I closer together, and has
bonded us with this little one.
Because we were so incredibly
happy, we decided to put together a few baby things and set up his little
bassinet. We have a little rocker/bouncer
set to go in our living room, his little sleeper next to the bed, and are
really making these last few weeks move as slowly as possible! But it feels so real. Finally we are rounding the corner, and
someday soon we will have our little family of three.
