I was just wondering about you and if you had decided to pursue parenthood or not. I also just turned 30 in August and it was a big number in my head as well. I have had three healthy pregnancies, but I always still felt a bit nervous. I don&#39;t think you &quot;get over&quot; that until the baby is safe and in your arms. you do however, have 98% chance of a live birth from here on out. :)Candicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09496647171155002033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2187790137288910965.post-8085024554530267892009-10-16T14:53:52.746-07:002009-10-16T14:53:52.746-07:00Congratulations! Having read your posts about pregnancy and miscarriage I can definitely relate. I lost my first baby at 7.5 weeks. Less than a year later I was expecting again. I remember when I first felt him moving around -- I was 19 weeks exactly, and felt this tap-tapping. When I looked down at my stomach, there was this mass about the size of my hand, scooting across my belly! It was the coolest thing. And so reassuring. That little kicker is now 19 months old. It goes by so fast.Darahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07681127827153264578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2187790137288910965.post-75304402744722979112009-10-13T12:23:38.658-07:002009-10-13T12:23:38.658-07:00Belated happy birthday, Jonalyn,<br />And congratulations! <br />Feeling your baby for the first time is so exciting!<br /><br />Take care.

And before it started to descend<br />from the height of noon, it leaned over<br />and struck my shoulder as if with<br />the flat of a sword, granting me<br />honor and a task. The day&#39;s blow<br />rang out, metallic--or it was I, a bell awakened,<br />and what I heard was my whole self<br />saying and singing what it knew: I can.<br /><br /><br />On the Mystery of the Incarnation<br /><br />It&#39;s when we face for a moment<br />the worst our kind can do, and shudder to know<br />the taint in our own selves, that awe<br />cracks the mind&#39;s shell and enters the heart:<br />not to a flower, not to a dolphin,<br />to no innocent form<br />but to this creature vainly sure<br />it and no other is god-like, God<br />(out of compassion for our ugly<br />failure to evolve) entrusts,<br />as guest, as brother,<br />the Word. <br /><br /><br /><br />Peace to you <a href="http://www.life-and-faith.org" rel="nofollow">In Christ&#39;s Love</a>Tito Tinajerohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09013106824300727755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2187790137288910965.post-51894566736153084442009-09-16T17:23:22.969-07:002009-09-16T17:23:22.969-07:00Happy birthday, dear friend!
