16 weeks

From the time we started telling people that we were pregnant I pretty much cried every time we told someone new, especially in person.  Our family and friends and have been so loving, supportive, and thoughtful throughout everything already.  I know that this will just continue and intensify upon baby G's arrival. 

This week the news became "facebook official." Let's be honest we all have several "friends" on facebook whose phone numbers we don't have and the only things we know about their lives are what is posted on facebook. These people may have been an important part of your life at one point or a friend of a friend of a friend. After posting our baby news there have been so many of these "friends" that have gone out of their way to write sweet messages to us. I am completely overwhelmed by the number of people that have sent us messages saying that they were praying for us and the baby.  To even have one prayer said for us by someone we haven't talked to you in years is completely humbling. After opening a message from a sweet girl that I haven't talked to in at least 6 years and reading her kind words I started thinking about each person who has sent us their sweet thoughts and was moved to tears. (Maybe it's just these pregnancy hormones. :) )  We are so appreciative of all of your kind words and prayers, especially from those we don't speak to often. It means so much that you would take a minute out of your day to think of us! 

This week we took our first hospital tour. It was a little overwhelming. I wasn't sure what to think when we were at the hospital. Everyone was very friendly and seemed really informed about the labor and delivery department. Next week we have one more tour and then hopefully we will be able to make a decision.
