As i began to write my a new blog post, i realized all i was doing was bitching and moaning about all the symptoms I have been having over the last week or so and how they are gradually getting worse.
UGH...
After considering this for a while, I realized there was something much more interesting to talk about.
My baby and the miracle of life.
I have been following the overall development of my child and it is just so amazing.
How does a bunch of cells know to develop into a complex human being....
How does it know to form a heart or eyes or ears...or fingernails...
Here I am at my 5th week and my baby is merely the size of a seasame seed and already she (cause yes - its a girl!! I swear it!) has a two chamber heart and a tube that will later form the spinal cord. By the time I go for my ultrasound in two weeks, Little Baby will have a heart beat.
If I am really blessed there will be more than one heart beat (and I mean that half sarcastically). Though, even with the medication i was taking, it is somewhat rare for twins.
I am so thankful for this blessing we have been given.

That's an awesome picture, speaking of which, I think we parents often do miss the big picture. Nice that you're trying to keep it in mind.
Yep!! Isn't it a true miracle. I just don't understand how someone can't believe in God after seeing the miracle of growing a new life. It is truly amazing. I try not to complain about the aches and pains (thankfully I'm past the morning sickness) and just feel blessed that a new life is going to be coming into this world.
Keep growing baby!! My new baby needs another cousin!! :)
Im still in shock. I cant wait to go to the doctor in two weeks!
Oh, enjoy this time, and take lots of pictures! It goes so fast, and then the baby's here and you can't think about anything except the endless cycle of feed/burp/change/feed/burp/change...
occasionally grab a shower or a nap for yourself...feed/burp/change...
