A New Week and A Blog From Mom

I love Saturdays (for many reasons) but primarily because it's the day that I start a new week of pregnancy! Any woman knows what it's like to literally "count down the days" when you are awaiting the arrival of your little one. Trust me though, it's 10 times worse when you have some fear and uncertainty associated with that pregnancy. Every day that Brooklyn is thriving inside of me and growing bigger is a good day. And every day that passes is one day closer to us finally getting to see her on the outside.

Today, marked 25 weeks (or 6 1/2 months) and I am so excited to have reached this point. At the end of this month, I will be in my third and final trimester. What an exciting feeling to know that she is almost here!

In conclusion, here are some specific prayer requests:

1. Monday morning is our next OB appointment. I am specifically praying for answers to a ton of questions (yes we have written them down) along with a specific plan as to what these next few weeks hold in regards to doctor's visits and a delivery plan.

2. Hormones! They are starting to get the best of me. I seriously almost cried on the way home from the grocery store last night. And for NO reason at all.

3. Stress in general. Anyone who knows me, knows I worry A LOT and about everything. Please pray that I don't sweat the small stuff or worry about things that just don't matter. 

4. Mine and Jaime's job. We are looking at having many, many doctor's appointments over these next several weeks which will require us to be gone from time to time, and possibly with short notice. Pray that nothing gets overly stressful, if and when that situation arises.

5. And of course-pray for Brooklyn's growth and safety!!!
