20 weeks down, 20 to go ...

As of Thursday, I was 20 weeks pregnant. It has completely flown by this time around, as I have Jeremiah to occupy my time. We are definitely praying for a smoother 20 weeks. Many of you probably don't know, but I have had lots of difficulties with this pregnancy. I will spare the huge, long store and just say: In the past few weeks, I have endured lots of abdominal pain, bleeding, being diagnosed with kidney stones and hydronephrosis (which are both still present), an outpatient procedure (cystoscopy) where they put in a stent, and an ER visit.

And everyone asks, "Was your 1st pregnancy like this?" and the answer is "NO!" Which my Dr. told me that every pregnancy is different and I completely agree.

But our sweet little girl (whom still doesn't have a name) has been a trooper. Or should I say that even with all of these medical issues, God in His amazing grace has sustained her. I had my 20 weeks ultrasound on Wednesday and everything looks great. My belly is measuring 19 cm and I have currently gained 7 pounds.

So, with all the medical issues hopefully behind us, I have started thinking about baby stuff. You know, bedding (which I just ordered), names, clothes, etc.

Please continue to pray for healing of my body and a better second half!
