Loving a life so Little

1/2 of an inch.  How can I be so in love with something so small?  Tomorrow marks the 8 week or 2 month mark of our babies growing life.  I am starting this blog as a place to record all of the memories of pregnancy, things we do in life, how to love better, things I'm learning, and everything else.  Hopefully I'll be consistent with posts but my goal to start is to have a post once a week and if I get more in then great! Every day, over and over, I have to wrap my mind around the fact that I have a life inside of me.  It truly is a miracle and a gift from God to be given the opportunity to bring a new life into the world.  When we first found out we were going to be parents it was hard to believe but at the same time the most exciting thing we have experienced in our marriage so far.  This past friday we had our first doctors appointment and were able to see what looked like our little jelly bean.  The most amazing thing about the ultrasound was seeing the heart beating.  We weren't able to hear it yet but just seeing that tiny heart beat made my own heart skip a beat.  Something so small has a heart that is beating faster then mine at times.  Here is our first picture of our little one.  He/she measured at 5.8 cm on 7 weeks 2 days and is right on track looking perfect.  

    
     Life in general has been a blessing, we have been blessed with a wonderful job for Andrew in the D.C area and recently I started a nannying job for a few hours after school every day.  God is providing and it is obvious.  For example on our last leg across the country from Hawaii the air conditioning broke in our car. We thought it might be an easy fix but it ended up costing us a bundle of money.  God came through and money that we weren't expecting at the time came in the mail and covered all of the cost.  We have had a few visitors since being moved into the Northern Virginia area and can't wait to host more in a couple weekends.  Living life together is wonderful and spending time together is what we love the most.  There will be another post toward the end of the week and I really hope you all enjoy reading along as we grow from a 2 person 1 dog family to a 3 person 1 dog family!
