Every day being pregnant gets weirder and weirder. Things are starting to happen, like I look like I’ve started stuffing my shirt and things have begun moving around in there. Slowly my inability to believe the inevitable is coming to an acute awareness that I am changing. There really is a little combination of us in there consuming my nutrients and growing at an incredible rate.

 

9 months seems like a long time, 3/4 of a year sounds like a long time. But I’m in a weird time vortex where time seems to move even slower than I imagined it would. This pregnancy thing is taking forever. I’m nearing the 20 week mark and I’m just now beginning to deal with the life-altering, bubble shattering, and sleep reducing implications of protecting a child inside my very body, said child coming out into the world, and the smallness of a new person… our person. Then there’s the whole growing and molding a person in childhood and beyond. I’m looking with faith that God will provide as He always so generously does.  

 

Babies, sheeesh. It’s a whole new world.
