I cannot believe it, even as I am sitting here...I am in my 30th year of life on earth. I am so blessed. It is funny - I have told the story a few times today of what I always pictured on my "30th birthday."...nothing short of Carrie and the girls on Sex & The City...dressed to the nines, probably even in NYC, a Cosmo in hand...well, it is a little bit different than what I pictured years ago, but my blessings are so abundant. Even though a lot of family was out of town today, including Philip for work, I did have a wonderful dinner with Mary, Tom, and Kelly...it was so sweet of them to make sure I wasn't alone tonight, and we had a great time and a great dinner! I had phone calls and messages from so many friends and family...it was great. As I sit here, I am reflecting on how lucky I am and how God has blessed me so far...I have an amazing husband, loving family, the best dog ever, a wonderful house to call home, a new job that I think I am going to really enjoy (and my new role became official today, as a matter of fact)...and oh-so-important, a healthy baby girl growing bigger and stronger every day inside me.
We had a 22 / 23 week check-up yesterday: Kinsley's heartbeat - easily detectible this time...no more hiding in there - was still loud and strong at 140 bmp, she is estimated about 1.25 - 1.5 lbs (it's about time, since her mamma has put on well over that amount), and the "size of my uterus" is where it should be...and much to my amazement, that means over my belly button...seriously, they measured my belly with measuring tape. Crazy! I am really, really starting to notice the changes in my body, especially over these past few weeks. She is moving constantly - which I L-O-V-E. Somersaults, kicks, punches...she is having a party in there. And when I feel her moving about, I feel like everything is okay. Kinsley is already changing my life...changing our life. She is going to make my 30th year the most memorable yet.
