Leap of faith...
By hopefulat40 » Posted Aug. 26, 2012 11:29am - 414 views - 8 comments
Today, at my age, I am inundated with so many tests, procedures, and stats....It almosts mutes the miracle of exactly what is happening to my family! It not only scares me but that "leap of faith" that I took when I decided to be on this wonderful journey is tougher than I remember.
After each appointment, I go to the store and buy something small for our little one. :) It's personal, but each time it brings more confidence to me. Last week I bought two tiny pacifiers. I put them in my drawer and smiled. At that point, I realized I need to stop focusing on the stats and start believing! I know the love that fills my heart - because it is overflowing, but I have been so cautious. I am 41 for goodness sakes, and being blessed with a fabulous little soul to add to our family! It is a leap of faith, and I chose to take this opportunity...now I need to seize everybit of it with a smile!
So, this weekend, I leapt! The time is now, to celebrate and cherish this tiny one. May baby be healthy, as the love is tremendous!
Today I am 16w and 3d....and I am pregnant with my wonderful take home baby!
