For some reason 15 weeks seems monumental to me when it comes to pregnancy.  I have no idea why! Maybe it’s because the long-anticipated bump is finally showing or maybe because I am officially out of trimester 1 and starting to feel back to normal (great even). Whatever the reason may be, we are 15 weeks and happy to be here!

First trimester (this time around) went a little differently than it did with Will.  I had more consistent battles with morning sickness, WAY more hormonal fluctuations, and was exhausted all day long.  But, like I said, thank God I am in the second trimester.

The difference between my first and second pregnancy has been such a great reminder that each baby is such a gift.  One thing my husband helped plant in my heart is to trust that life is too huge for us to have control over, and that God always knows what we need better than we do.  His plans for us are far greater than those of our selves.  We must surrender our trust to the Lord and allow Him to do His work.  This giving of one’s self has allowed us to be open to life, and oh so grateful for our 9 month old and our little babe-to-be.

As we progress through this pregnancy (and through life), we need to remember to surrender our trust to the Lord and thank Him for the special lives we are blessed with.
