Knocked Up

I'm 16 weeks and 5 days pregnant today! :) 
OK... so i guess that should explain why i haven't been blogging.... for the last 2/3 months i've been real sick.... morning sickness that was pretty much every day- all day.... i had to stop work for about 3 weeks cos i couldn't even get out of the house! Everything smelt and taste and felt different! something i really was not prepared for!

THE MOMENT OF TRUTH...

I will never forget the moment when i found out i was pregnant. i kinda had a lil idea that i might be pregnant... changes in my body and missing my monthly friend was sorta a hint.. so i got a home pregnancy test and it was positive! The magic blue line appeared on the test and before i knew it, i was screaming in amazement, delight and sheer panic!


in the days that followed... i then found myself making a dash for the bathroom making noises like a dog trying to get up a sharp piece of bone. that was pretty much the story for the next 10 weeks...


I remember my early weeks of pregnancy as a frenzy of bananacue (filo style fried bananas) and multiple visits to the bathroom. My whirlwind was perhaps only tempered by a new-found awe at my enlarging breasts.


But in the midst of all this activity, i stumbled on something that stopped me in my tracks. Until i did that pregnancy test, i had no clue that i had a whole new life growing inside me. BUT GOD KNEW. This new life was his secret.


His very real hand was on a very real me, tenderly shaping a new life, and i didn't even know it! How intimate! It really caught my breath then, as it still does even now....

"My frame was not hidden from you when i was made in the secret place... your eyes saw my unformed body" Psalm 139:15,16.
