Today I saw our baby! I saw our baby's enormous head and little arms and legs! Even though the digital picture did in fact look like a little alien, it was amazing and left me a little breathless. It is just so amazing that there is a little person growing inside of my body. It's one thing to read about it, but to actually see it... that is something just amazing. I feel as though I am not only witnessing a miracle, but Heavenly Father is working through me to create a body for one of His spirit children. I'm nervous and excited!
Tonight I just kept thinking and hoping that our baby is normal, will develop normally, and will be healthy and strong. I realize that there is not a whole lot I can do to control this however, and so worrying about it isn't helping anyone. Instead, I felt as though this was another opportunity to exercise faith in Heavenly Father. He is sending Casey and I this baby, and the baby will come just as He intends.
Since Casey and I decided to delete this blog weeks ago because we were afraid someone would find out we were pregnant, I obviously haven't kept up writing in it very well. But still, no one knows and we are hoping to keep it that way at least until Thanksgiving if not Christmas. But I want to keep writing about this experience. There are just too many new and exciting things happening not to record them.
Casey is actually gone until tommorrow. He went elk hunting with his dad for four days, and so I spent last weekend at home in Boise with my family. I miss him when ever he's gone, but I love spending time with my family. But being around them makes me excited to share our news! I can't wait to tell my brothers they are going to be uncles. Riley will be elated! And I think Kaitlin, Casey's sister will be too.
This semester is now more than half way over and I feel so blessed to have had such a seemingly mild pregnancy, and also such a supportive husband. I'm excited for the growth of my little family! With Casey I feel sure that this experience is going to be crazy and fantastic.
