And I just have to say that since we got our ultrasound last Friday, it seems a lot more real to me! Oh yeah, and by the way...

...It's a GIRL!!
We are so excited! And my daughter had it right. She always said that this one was a girl, and that a boy is coming next time... So maybe she knows more than us, and apparently we're having another baby after this. :)
So anyway, with it feeling a lot more real to me now, I just get a huge sense of gratitude. Especially after thinking about the many months we tried to conceive this one. Month after month I would get so depressed when I had many negative pregnancy tests and then my period came. It was so frustrating! Wondering what was wrong with me, and spiraling further into stress and depression. What a mess it was, but I'm so glad that I came out of that and learned many thing to change my mindset on it all and be grateful for what I already had. And of course now I'm just so grateful that I have a little girl squirming inside of me! It's her reminder to me that she's there and and worth every minute of struggle I ever had.
I'm just so happy to be pregnant, and yes there are times of discomfort, but I'm so glad I've learned ways to relieve those. Like for one... my back was killing me the other day, so I had my husband rub a Doterra essential oil blend called, Deep Blue, all over and my back felt so much better! The pain was gone! I love it when I find solutions to these sorts of problems.
