35 weeks

Well, we've made it 35 weeks into the pregnancy and the baby should be here in a little over a month. I've been trying to think back over the past 5 weeks and I've realized how quickly they went by. I'm sure the next 5 (or more or less depending on the baby!) will go by just as quickly. My goal is to write a little and include a picture of everyday from the 30th of July until the baby is born. It will be fun to see the changes in my body as we approach the finish line. I belong to an on-line support group of women who are experiencing a pregnancy after a miscarriage. All of the August moms-to-be have a group and we talk almost everyday about apprehension, milestones, excitement, and whatever else is going on in our lives. The most encouraging thing happened last week. The 1st baby from our group (born a little bit early, but very healthy) was born. Her name is Emma Catherin and she is pretty cute. Seeing her all snuggled up in her blanket and hearing her mom talk about her really made this baby inside of me seem more real and the likelihood of him/her being born and coming home with us more of a possibility. Please still be praying for us. We aren't there yet, but we will be soon. We know this will be the end of a small, short nerve-wracking thing and the beginning of one that will last the rest of our lives!
