Thirteen weeks yesterday

I am coming to the end of the first trimester of this pregnancy (though it still seems like it's been longer than that). Just like every other pregnant woman I've met, and like my previous pregnancies, I am anxiously awaiting the next milestones: feeling the baby move, finding out the gender, and then of course, holding our little child.

But I am also trying to relish every moment of this journey because it may be the final time I will go through all this. I am not saying that we are making any drastic changes (no snips for now), but it is probably worth mentioning that we feel done. And if we are, I am okay with that.

I remember that I didn't want to be done after two, and I hoped that God would grant us another child at some point. I am so thankful that He has. I am looking forward to seeing how this third little one completes our family and adds to our joy. And in the mean time, I am focusing my attention on loving our first two and trying to prepare them for their future sibling.
