Zach and I are so so so so unbelievably excited for this new season in our life because I AM PREGNANT! Houston #4 is on its way, and every week feels like we are leaping and bounding towards parenthood. We got the news on April 5th, with a beautifully strong positive test result. I was feeling hopeful, sad, positive, scared, doubtful, but still overjoyed at this opportunity again. While some couples struggling with infertility pray for a positive pregnancy test, we just pray that it will actually last, since our last three haven't made it past that 8 week mark. I was able to get a 6-week ultrasound since I'm high-risk due to multiple miscarriages, and I got to see the little baby. After that, our intuition told us this was the one. We were both extremely positive that this baby will actually be in our arms, coming home with us. Throughout further appointments, we crossed our fingers that there was still a heartbeat, and each time, our doctor was able to find it, strong and healthy.
As of now, we are 18 weeks along, almost halfway, and have our 20-week anatomical scan scheduled for the end of the month. We are so excited to set up the baby room and decorate (in more than just grays.) We are grateful for every movement we feel, every chance we have to hear its heartbeat, and every bottle of ginger ale curing the symptoms of this beautiful pregnancy.
I only show if I eat lots of food. Even this far along, I'm tiny and skinny.
