Moving on

I started out blogging about IF but shortly after became pregnant. So I started blogging a little bit about my pregnancy journey. Now that my LO is here, I think it's time for a change. I won't forget the experience of IF and how it has changed my character, influenced my outlook on life and motherhood, and allowed me to empathize with others struggling through the very same thing. But I must move on... to motherhood.

Thanks for following.

In Love

My precious boy has arrived and he takes my breath away.

I'm so humbled by the way God has blessed us.

8 days

I cannot believe I have 8 days until my due date. 8 days.

One small bump in the road... I found out this week that I'm group B strep positive. Apparently it's not a huge deal in most cases. I just have to get 2 rounds of IV antibiotics during labor so that the baby doesn't get infected. I'm trying not to stress, but this is what I'm thinking. What if I have a really fast labor and don't get a chance to get the antibiotics or don't get both rounds? What if the antibiotics aren't effective and the baby gets infected? Why do I have to worry about this?

But then God revealed to me through some very gracious friends that he has his fingerprints all over this baby. I will not allow this to rob me of the joy of anticipating the arrival of my sweet baby boy.

So I'm feeling better about it.

8 days.
