I’m pretty certain that I’ll always be nervous before I go in for a scan now. It’s more than likely because we now have a little one in heaven, and even though I can tell this pregnancy is going well I’m still going to be nervous. Even though I can feel this little one wiggling around more and more, I’m still nervous.
In this season of thankfulness, I’m thankful for the technology to check the health of our little one. It’s not exactly accurate all the time, but it puts my mind at ease when I can see that sweet little heart ticking away on the screen.
It was so amazing to see baby moving around when the sonographer was looking around—as though she didn’t like being poked. We have a healthy baby! It means something entirely different now than it did when I was pregnant with Asher. I’ve learned it’s not something to take for granted. Thank you Lord for this new little life!
This November I’ve begun to count 1000 gifts in order to develop the habit of giving thanks daily. That means the count will continue well after Thanksgiving has past.

Does that mean it’s a girl then? x
:) Yep!
I’m still amazed about the way we can see the baby before its born in pictures. Stunning really. Thanking God with you for a healthy baby, I know its something you aren’t taking for granted. Nice to meet you through Ann’s link up.
Yes, I’m amazed by how clearly we can see a baby in those pictures, too! Such a miracle.
Thanks for stopping by Shelly!
Visiting from Ann’s link up. Love the list. I lost two babies and then when I got pregnant with my son it was a nervous time. Totally understanding why you would feel the way you do. Praying that all goes well!
Thanks debbieinak! I’m not as nervous as I was when I first got pregnant, but I probably won’t be happy until this baby is in my arms. :) That’s where faith in God comes in.
Thanks for stopping by!
Love that – the wheels on the bus going round and round – and speaking faith in the midst while our minds battle doubt! I’ve been where you are and am rejoicing with you! Congratulations!
Hehe, that’s my son’s favourite song at the moment. We sing it a lot. :)
Speaking truth when the mind wants to think otherwise is one of my greatest challenges, but it also grows faith!
Thanks for stopping by today, bluecottonmemory!
Thanking God with you for this healthy baby! Praying for ease of mind for you and a continued uneventful pregnancy. I’m visiting from Ann’s link up today.
Thank you Nicole. Thanks for stopping by, too!
What a great list. Looking forward to reading your blog more!

Congrats! Thankful with you for that lovely glimpse of your little one. I always loved ultrasounds for that very reason… may God continue to grant health to your baby… and peace to your heart.
Thank you Richelle! It’s amazing how much peace God can give when you ask for it. :)
Yay!
