Progress

20 weeks

I have always been a very growth oriented person. For me I like to see change, and be part of the process when it comes to transformation. Since marry my hubby I have learned that sometimes God has us right where we are and we don't have to go looking for things to pick over and scrutinize. This may be a double edged sword at times because there is the opposite side where laziness and apathy rest.

Pregnancy for me has been a great depiction of how God grows our lives; we must be active participants while also allowing God to do the work that only He can do, allowing Him to be the guide and listening to what he is calling us to act upon.


Since getting pregnant I understood that I needed to eat healthy and drink lots of water, if I am not so good one day by body has reserves to keep giving the baby nutriance. If I forget my prenatal vitamin God will use the food I eat to again sustain the baby. The list goes on and on. I can, and try to do everything healthy for my sweet baby girl. What I have learned is that no matter how proactive I am, with exercise, eating, guzzling water, and taking my vitamins this precious life is in Gods hands, and His design (for mom and baby) makes her grow. We were told that Baby Roo has a 2 vessel cord at 17 weeks and this scared me a lot. We were told she may have intrauterine growth retardation and could at some point stop growing as well in my belly. We was told there was nothing I could do to help her grow, not increasing calories, limiting exercise, or adding certain things to my lifestyle could help her gain weight. We have been very fortunate she has always been right on track and there have been no worries of her growth.

I'm praying that as I take on the new role of mother that I am gentle and understanding of my children's hearts and developmental stages when it comes to being growth oriented. I would never want to squelch the Spirits work in my kids and the process of growth that comes with growing up. Lots of prayer, belief in God's guidance over my life and enjoying the journey.
