23 weeks! Already?

I realized it has been awhile since my last post. I know I'm a big slacker. I have been busy with school.

Pregnancy is the most amazing experience. I love every minute of it. It seems like everyday is better than the last. Yes, I have days where I hurt every where and I am sick but nothing compares to joy I have for my baby girl. Yes, We are having a girl. Miss Raelyn Grace. A lot has went on since my last post. My husband recently changed jobs and that is taking some adjusting but I thank God every day he still has a job. I am so thankful for him and everything he does for our family. I fall more in love with him everyday. Life is truly amazing.

Lately I have been faced with some decisions and I'm not sure what to do. I wanted to take a semester off to spend with my daughter and still will be able to graduate on time but there is a possibility I may have to take one class in fall that will not be offered anymore. I feel like if I am going for one class I should go for all of them. I'm not sure what to do but I know God has a plan and I will follow it, what ever it may be.

Raelyn is doing great. We went for our 20 week appointment(4-5-10)and She is measuring perfect and has all of her body parts and organs. She measured at 12 oz. A few days before that appointment I got to feel her move/kick for the first time and it was AMAZING and still is every time I feel it. I think she gets harder everyday! Christopher finally got to feel her last week and that was also amazing. He is already wrapped around her finger. I believe she may be a Daddy's girl. She gets so excited when he is around or talks to her. I know it sounds weird but I honestly think she knows he is there. As I said before pregnancy is amazing and everyday it gets better. I know I complain alto about school work and honestly its hard being pregnant and going to school. I wouldn't change it for the world though, because I know she will benefit from it in the long run. I have really learned alot from this experience and it is not over yet. I have come to realize I'm going to be a mommy. At first I knew it but it had not sank it but it is coming reality now as we only have 17 weeks left until our due date. This is so hard to write down or explain but I feel so blessed that God let me expereince this.

Just some background info: Im not sure if I have mentioned this before or not but I was never sure I would get pregnant. i have something called polycystic ovarian syndrome and was told it would be really hard to concieve. SO, Raelyn really is our MIRACLE! I promise there is more to come as the semster is ending and I will have more time to wrtie. Until then!
