Dr visits and God

Monday: Dentist Appointment- root canal
Tuesday: ENT- hearing tests.
Wednesday: OBGYN- baby’s heart beat

Needless to say it has been a crazy and busy week.
The root canal was painful because my gums are enflamed and tender. But the worst of it is over.
The ENT visit gave me some peace and answers about the pulsing I can hear in my ears. They said it is a common occurrence due to the increased arterial flow that occurs during pregnancy BUT over the next week I must perform several tests and make sure the pulse is in perfect rhythm with my heart beat. If it is not I have to have a MRI.
The OBGYN visit was great! The baby has shifted to the left side and his heart beat is strong and steady.
I love hearing the heart beat because it makes me feel like “okay, he’s still in there. This is not a horrible joke. I am pregnant!”
I was reading my baby book to Jake a couple of days ago and I found myself overcome with emotion and awe of Gods glory. I can’t believe that I, Katie Baker, am growing a human life within me. I know that most women talk about feeling connected to the baby but really I feel very connected to God. I can’t stop thinking about how God has made my body to be such an amazing, safe place for new life to be able to form and grow. What a gift!
I look at the ocean, the mountains and nature all around me and think this it is amazing but I feel God gave the greatest gift He could give to us humans…the ability to bring a soul into this world. There is something breathtaking about the growth cycle of a new human life.
I don’t want to become corny but those are the emotions I have inside me and I wanted to share them with you.

I used to think that God gave all His beautiful gifts to nature but I now know He gave the most wonderful gift of all gifts to mothers……
