Gaining percpective

Ball up your fist, look at it long and hard. Hold it below your belly button and imagine that it's Mary. She's not really a bean anymore, the lima bean shape is gone. My hands aren't monsterous, are yours? I'm 16 weeks as of today. She is nearly 4 inches in length, next Monday I will be 17 weeks along and she will be 4.5 inches in length..

For as much confusion that comes along with planning and how overwhelming things can be, I'm gaining more and more percepctive one day at a time. Kyle mentioned to me over the weekend that you can't even imagine the love you have the moment that you hold your baby for the first time. If it's half as much that I'm already beginning to feel, my heart will be completely overflowing by the time January rolls around.. I think about her day and night. I admit, there are times I want to just relax and go boating, not think about anything but the moment and my friends afford me that pleasure for a short time. I come back to reality, refreshed and thankful for my friends and family.

Week sixteen begins refreshed..
