Groundhog Day...almost the end of Week 25

It is Groundhog day alright.

All of these days feel the same. Long and tiring.

Well...I did not even take a photo for this week. I don't really want to remember this week. As it has been the hardest of all weeks for me.

I am feeling OK, but not awesome or anything. I feel OK. So, that is better than horrible way I was feeling just days ago I guess.

I am feeling this baby move a whole lot now, which is reassuring to me. This pregnancy feels much like all of the other healthy pregnancies I have had. And I reassure myself with the fact that Dr. D told me he is not worried, and for me not to worry. That is a good sign too.

And, we have no family history of anybody with diabilities so that is good too. Also, I have my age to feel happy about. I conceived when I was still 33, and will be still only 34 when we deliver this baby. So...these are the things that are going though my head the past day now.

I woke up feeling a bit more optimistic about the whole situation. Which may not even be ANY situation. Not until I get word...or maybe when the 22nd of February comes, I will have worried for 8 weeks for NOTHING. So far I have an extremely healthy baby. And I feel good also knowing there was nothing wrong at week 18. I don't have extra amniotic fluid either. So that is good. I am also glad that an ultrasound is only a SCREENING device and not a diagnosis. So...

Until they can prove otherwise this baby is healthy. And I must continue to believe that to get through the next 20 days.

I am thankful for all of the prayers and good thoughts from everybody during this waiting period.

I thank my Mom for making me dinner the other night, for my Dad for taking Cameron skating, and for his loving talks to me on the phone. I also want to thank my cousin Andrea for inviting me over, and entertaining me and my thoughts until 1 am in the morning. For my sister Amy and for Tyler for bringing me an awesome decaf butterscotch latte, and a cone of candy. And for watching Catie whist I got out to pick up my other gals from preschool. And for preparing the lunch, and doing the clean up. For my sister April for a wonderful chat last night. And for my other online friends who chat with me way into the wee hours of the middle night. For my awesome email pals who always are there for me, and constantly want to help me out. I really appreciate everything. I am very blessed with such an outpouring of love, prayers and kindness.

I know that if something is wrong with this baby, that he or she will be loved NO matter what.
