Journal Entry 1

I am around 4ish weeks pregnant now. No signs of morning sickness (Thank you God!). My only symptoms are abdominal cramps [like those pre-menstrual cramps just stronger and long lasting] and swollen breasts. This one's not really funny, cause I can't bounce down the stairs like I normally do, they hurt! But I really thank God for these and only these!! Other friends I know are having horrid morning sickness. So if cramps and swollen/tender breasts are all I get, I am Perfectly Content, Happy, and Thankful!

Cramps are more on the strong side this morning. Lethargy is kicking in. We jokingly say the hike has begun. Because the amount of work a preggy woman's body does now is liken to that of a mountain hike!

Hubby is at work this Saturday morning. So I have the house to myself. Was supposed to have house cleaning today, but the all-wonderful-all-loving hubby said no and that I should rest. =) So I have my laptop and some music he downloaded for me to accompany me in this beautiful, slow, and cooling Saturday morning. After the past 2 weeks of anxiousness, finally I'm finding relaxation today. Time to reflect, time to just enjoy God's presence. Time to be me. And I find myself in tears. It's the sheer knowledge that we were given this precious precious gift. God grace is indeed amazing. All I caught myself saying was "Thank You God. Thank You."

I know we're not in this alone. The one who enabled this is and will forever be by our side. Oh God YOU are amazing!

The Beginnings

This blog was inspired by a dear friend -Miza, who is at the end of her preggers' journey. Great place to journal about the now overwhelming yet thoroughly exciting journey.
