Life is a miracle

There's this pregnancy website that I'm on constantly called thebump.com. I'm actually only on there for the message boards. Anyway, there are women across the world on there that get together on the message boards and talk about everything from pregnancy to what to make for dinner. We have "due date" clubs and we check in every day and just keep in touch.

In the past couple of weeks, there have been three women who've given birth to their 20 week old babies, who all died shortly after birth. I'm just so sad for these women and their families. They all deserve to have those precious little ones, but I guess they were "too beautiful to stay".

I've really had to take a step back this week and truly appreciate having made it this far in my pregnancy. The stories of other women's struggles has really had me thinking about how wonderful life is and to appreciate every single day. To be thankful for all that I have and all that has brought me so far. Life is short and I don't want to throw away a single second of it.

It's a BOY!

We're having a sweet little boy! Davy and I were so excited (naturally) for our BIG ultrasound yesterday! We wanted to see if our little one was healthy and he is! All of his measurements are perfect and his heart and brain are looking great as well. He was stretching out and moving around in there. It was fun watching him kick and feeling it at the same time. His name will be Jackson Alvin David Crockett.
