15 Weeks

Today I'm 15 weeks. I really wanted to get to (and past) this point. It was at my 15 month appointment with Malachi that we found out he'd died. So I was a bit nervous. I even had a nightmare about it, but driving to the base it wasn't even on my mind. Although when I laid down for them to listen I think I held my breath a bit, waiting. And Zach wasn't there by that point so I was doubly nervous! But praise the LORD that we heard our precious baby's heartbeat!!!! I am SO thankful! Not like I really doubted, but I did have a twinge of fear.

I found out my doctor will be moving in June like us. I'm thankful not before as I really don't want to see anybody but him. He is so kind and I've always wondered if he were a Christian. Today he took us in his office and on the wall was a picture with a man in a bed and people standing around him- one of whom was Jesus. Another hanging had a poem of sorts that was about God. I am so blessed to have found a Christian doctor- especially in the military! He had to talk to us about the chances of the baby having down's syndrome and all, and offer the Quad Screen test, which of course we denied. It was kinda funny because he said, "Yeah I thought you would". Not in a bad way, just knowing how we believe and really respecting it.

My next appointment will be around 19 or 20 weeks- for an ultrasound!!!

Last night people at church commented on how I'm starting to get bigger. But I'm in that 'fat' stage where you don't even look pregnant yet! My shirts are getting pretty tight on me and most of my pants don't fit either.
