12 weeks with Little Bit :)

Courtesy of Baby Center:

The most dramatic development this week: reflexes. Your baby's fingers will soon begin to open and close, his toes will curl, his eye muscles will clench, and his mouth will make sucking movements. In fact, if you prod your abdomen, your baby will squirm in response, although you won't be able to feel it. His intestines, which have grown so fast that they protrude into the umbilical cord, will start to move into his abdominal cavity about now, and his kidneys will begin excreting urine into his bladder.

Meanwhile, nerve cells are multiplying rapidly, and in your baby's brain, synapses are forming furiously. His face looks unquestionably human: His eyes have moved from the sides to the front of his head, and his ears are right where they should be. From crown to rump, your baby-to-be is just over 2 inches long (about the size of a lime) and weighs half an ounce.

When I read these weekly updates I sit in awe of how great our God is. Chad has been putting up with me complaining here lately and yesterday it hit me.  Yes, the first trimester has been challenging but it could be worse, much worse. Instead of complaining I am going to try something new.  Every time I catch myself about to complain I am going to stop myself and mentally thank God for the privilege of being able to get pregnant and experience this miracle for nine months.  It hit me that there are women who have difficulties getting pregnant or for that matter getting pregnant at all who would gladly take what I am dealing with so that they could have a baby. 

Thank you God for allowing Chad and I to have a baby and experience all that we are.
