Complete
Today marks the last day of the month and the photo prompt for today is "complete." Today completes a month that is one of the most significant months my life. Despite what happens, this month was the month I was pregnant for the first time EVER. On March 1st, we had our first IUI. March 14th confirmed we are pregnant. In two days we will see our little one for the first time in ultrasound. Wow, what a month!
I had a great birthday yesterday. The party in the evening was nice, although I was ready to shut things down and get to bed by 9pm, hehe. Did I mention that DH bought me a sewing machine? I'm all ready to sew to my heart's content and start making some things for our little one (though I'm not really a sewer so it will be a lot of learning if I want to make a quilt). Here are some pictures of my project for today.
On the pregnancy side of things, not much to report, except for the tiredness. I slept 10 1/2 hours last night (though I was up from 3-4 again) and STILL am so tired. No nausea though and that slightly concerns me? Oh well. I was complaining to DH that I have not been emotional/moody/teary, which I expected. Well this morning I had a near meltdown. My brother-in-law decided that he wanted to come along with me to Fabricland. Fabricland? I so wanted some time to myself, and to putter around and do things on my own. I was complaining to DH and realized that I was feeling super emotional and didn't really know why. Hopefully that is pregnancy hormones too!
And in closing, I thought I'd share some pics of us telling my parents last night. We also wrote them a card from the baby. It was pretty special - we all were crying! And even cooler is that my mom had a vision/dream about it too. Now this is not something I usually believe, or anything like that, but while she was praying, she saw the doctor who was doing our procedure. And as he was getting ready to do the IUI, she saw a set of hands come down. They were God's hands. And they surrounded the doctor's hands and directed him as he did his job. Isn't that cool? It just gave me shivers! No matter what, I do think that God has been a part of this whole process and I give Him the glory for creating this life.
