26 weeks!!!

I swear, one day... I'll get really good at updating this blog! (and my other one to be honest!)

Okay, so I'm already getting the "worried mom" spells... Last week, Baker was moving like crazy, and I knew that he was good. :) Well, this weekend has been really crazy busy and kinda stressful. I hadn't felt him move for almost three days. So of course, worry wart me... I called the doctor this morning, and they had me come in for a sono... She looked at his heart first, and the heartbeat was strong... 162 to be exact! I was so relieved all I could do was cry... She watched him move for a while, and looked at all of his extremities... and everything is perfect. He actually had his hand all scrunched up with his thumb stickin out! He has completely moved positions which was a huge attribute to why I wasn't feeling him move like before. It was amazing to see how much he has grown and how many features you can see now :) Here is a picture from today of his face...

This isn't exactly a perfect picture, it's a picture of a picture :) but you can clearly see his mouth and nose and his eyes... Phil swears he already looks like his daddy! The gray thing above his head is the placenta, which is another attribute as to why I can't feel him that much. It is in a very odd place, and is cushioning his movement. He's very very healthy though! His weight today was 2.4 pounds! The new position he is in, has him completely stretched clear across my entire stomach! The tech was nice enough to explain to me where he exactly was positioned. Funny thing... the tech actually told me to drink more caffeine :) Booyeah! She said that would encourage him to move more... he's a relaxed boy just like his daddy! He is actually measuring a week ahead also!

The nursery is almost complete! Phil just has to put in the carpet, and then MeMee and Papa are coming to help us set up the furniture! The walls are painted a baby blue, furniture will be white, and brown will be the accent color! It will be really neat! Oh, and Daddy already has plans for a small fish tank to be in Baker's room... Oh, and of course it's for a night light too :)

Thank you to all those who read my blog... the journey that God has brought us from to get us to this point is amazing. When I look back, all I see is the pain and suffering that I had to go through to get to this point. But then I look again... and all I see is God's grace that covered me through those times... I wouldn't take any of it back, because it's made me who I am now. Baker is such a precious treasure. Having him inside me, and knowing that it was God that made it possible, and knowing that God answered my prayer... it makes me speechless. I hope that this makes me a Mother that shows an incredible love of God, and for her family. God knows my heart, and He knows my desire to be the best mom that I can be. With His grace, I'll provide a loving home for my children and husband. Oh! This gives me the chills!!! God is so good!!! God really does answer prayer, but when we are struggling to believe it, we have to realize... it will happen in God's time. If I didn't have to go through what I did, I would never believe that...
