Success

Well, we had a success today. Two, in fact. I made it to an early Mass at Church, and on my own. I didn’t make it for the whole time still, but I made it all on my own. Then, the ultrasound for the anatomy scan went really well. All things were present and measured appropriate sizes for the exact current length of time the baby has been growing inside of me. The technician couldn’t give officially a result, but was legally allowed to say that she was happy with everything she saw and she answered a lot of questions along the way that eased much anxiety I had been carrying about whether the baby was developing properly and all. Turns out that it all measure up and lines up quite well. Also, still don’t know about gender, intentionally so, but it is now starting to stress me for real. Everything in me wants this one to be a healthy girl. It also was already feeling like a girl, with no clear explanation as to why it feels that way. The first one felt like a boy. This one feels like a girl. However, I am having doubts now, and it is stressing me. Ugh.

God, thank you for this healthy and well and whole baby. Help it continue to grow beautifully and successfully into the child we have longed to have. Help us to be great parents and to love one another through it all. Grant us your grace and peace, please. Keep me and the baby safe. Keep my husband safe, please. Help us always to pursue and fulfill your will voluntarily. In your name, I pray. Amen.
