Nam keeps telling me I need to update the blog because people are probably wondering what’s going on with Asher. So, to those of you who are interested in the up and down roller coaster that has been the past 4 weeks of this pregnancy, here it is :)
Has he arrived yet? No.
Has he pretended to come numerous times now? Yes.
Don’t get me wrong…I am extremely grateful that my pregnancy has gone so well and everything looks healthy and great as of now. We know we are definitely blessed in that way. However, this little stinker inside me has now given me several occasions to think that I am having contractions close enough together to go to the hospital. Of course, these occasions are usually overnight so that I am definitely losing sleep thinking about it, and have always ended in the contractions stopping after several hours.
The doctor can’t believe I’m still pregnant and proceeds to tell me this every week when I go to see him. This doesn’t really help me in the expectations department. I go home from every appointment feeling like I could go into labor ANY MINUTE!!! It’s all very exciting after every appointment, then a week later I’m sitting back on the table in the office with a big, “You’re still pregnant!” from the doctor as he greets me yet again. Haha. This probably wouldn’t feel like such a big deal to me if it hadn’t been going on now for almost 5 weeks…this thinking it could happen any day.
Anyway, I don’t want to be too dramatic or focus on the negative. I’ve just been thinking about this a lot today, and I know it all stems from the fact that I just really, really want to meet this little life that God’s given us. I love him so much already. So in the long run, I’m sure this all will seem as nothing and we’ll laugh about our little April Fools’ Day baby. The mission for the rest of the day is to stop thinking of my impatience and think about why I can be overwhelmingly thankful that I have all of this to worry about in the first place. :)
Hopefully the next post on here will be with pictures of our little one!! Thanks for those of you who have cared so much about what’s going on day to day and for asking about us. We love that you care so much!
