Mountain from a Mole Hill

I was sitting in my friend Christy's living room last night after life group, staring at her sweet daughter, Sam. Jestine, Amanda, Christy and I ooed and ahhed at Sam's cuteness and her obsession with her tongue. She's so stinkin' adorable!

Jestine laughed as she looked around our little circle, and commented that it was amazing that something so incredible (Sam) can come from something so small (a tiny little fertilized egg.) Jestine pointed at her own belly (flat, fantastic and without child) and said "It goes from this, to this (pointing at my developing bump), to that (pointing to Amanda's ginormous bump, due in November), and back to Christy (who's getting her flat belly back, 3 months post baby.)

It was a fun little moment, all of us in different stages of woman hood. I did have to tell Jestine, however, that my belly was NEVER as flat as hers.... Alas! I now have a reason to be proud of my bump!

Here we are today, at 16 weeks and 3 days:



What was a mole hill is becoming a mountain! (But from the looks of Amanda, I have QUITE a ways to go!)

All these babies are amazing! It blows me away how much your body changes when growing a baby. Babies are such a blessing from God. As far as growing a mountain goes...it grows fast and that baby will be letting you feel it kicking and stretching before you know it! I'm so excited you are joining the mommy club! Can't wait to meet that little bean! :)

You look so gorgeous, My Love! I am so glad to be able to see your bump! I was just looking at my calendar and realized you will be 18 WEEKS next Friday and I just felt the need to tell you that.

When is your next Dr. appt? I, of course, can't remember. I kinda remember it being during week 17? OH, I want to know what it is!
