Wow. To see these pictures one after the other really makes me realize what an incredible thing the human body is. To think what it is capable of is just astounding.
Unfortunately, the video ended up being much small than I anticipated, so the text on most of the photos is unreadable. The pictures are as follows;
-6 weeks, 9 weeks, 12 weeks, 20 weeks, 24 weeks, 27 weeks, 30 weeks, 33 weeks, 34 weeks,
36 weeks, 38 weeks, 40 weeks and finally 6 weeks post-partum.
Stay tuned for a DITL early next week. Those are always lots of fun. :)

Passing Halfway
**Originally posted @LJ on 6/29/10**
This week marks passing halfway with you, passing halfway on a journey that you and I share. It marks passing halfway to one story ending, and another story beginning. Passing halfway to when I stop feeling you grow and start watching you grow. To when the anticipation and anxiety and wonder magically turns to immense love and hopes and dreams.
Passing halfway to when our world turns upside-down and our hearts grow, times three.
This week marks passing halfway to when a small and comparatively insignificant day will arrive.. it will go unnoticed to most, but yet move the earth for us
It marks passing halfway to looking you in the eyes, touching your skin, feeling your breath, for the very first time.

40 Weeks/12

We're here! Week 12.
Since suffering through the miscarriage the last time I was pregnant, being pregnant took on a whole new set of emotions for me. (As if it wasn't an emotional time already!). With my last two pregnancies, the thought of losing the pregnancy never crossed my mind. Not even for an instant. Sure, I had known of it happening to others, but until you experience it for yourself, it doesn't seem like it could ever happen to you.
With this one, it has been there, nagging at the back of my brain. With every little cramp or pain..
So, this week, supposedly the risk drops down significantly. And yes, the risk is always there.. but there is also the risk that something could happen to your children for the rest of thir lives, not just in utero. If I started thinking about that, I think I'd go crazy.
For today, I'm just going to relax and breathe. I'm going to breathe and think to myself, "we made it".
:) Last night, I approached Rob. I said, "Rob, we've reached 12 weeks.. do you know what that means?".
He looked at me, cocked his head, and replied...
"You're pregnant?"
Ha.

The best things come in threes (Part 2)

Dear baby.
This is the photo I took of myself the day that I found out about you.
I was anxious to document every instant of your life.
Today, we lost you.
& Even though I didn't get to feel you grow and move inside of me, even though I didn't see you or hear your heart beating, you were a part of me from the start and will always be.
Goodbye.
