Pregnancy after 30 has been very symptomatic for me. I feel OLD, and tired, and nauseous, and sleepy, and sick, and weak, and gaggy. . . need I say more? While the symptoms of this pregnancy seem more noticeable, they are shadowed by the excitement. Having two eager children, together with Scott and I, increases the anticipation and wonderment of pregnancy. Almost daily the boys ask me, "how 'tall' is the baby now?" Can I tell my friends? My teacher? Our neighbors? They are thrilled, to say the least. We are tracking the baby's development using an online resource and they are amazed at the pictures of unborn, growing, alive babies. From the size of a lentil at 6 weeks along -- to its present size of 1 and 1/4 inch at 10 weeks (about the size of a kumquat seen above), picturing our tiny baby is nothing short of awesome. Realizing the amount of growth and development that will take place over the next 6 months overwhelms us with the truth that God performs miracles for us and within us each day!
