I reached the 22nd week of pregnancy this past week. Even though I’m more than halfway done, I still cant shake the fear of losing our little boy. When I was pregnant with Ellie Kate, I never thought twice about the fact that we may not ever meet her alive. But after experiencing our chemical pregnancy earlier this year, and having some good friends of ours receiving a fatal diagnosis for their little boy in utero, I’m just looking at this pregnancy with different eyes. I wish I could get back the naivety that I experienced with my first pregnancy, but until then I’m cautiously waiting for baby Foster to arrive.
***********************************
On a happier note, I wanted to show you guys Foster’s bedding! It’s the “Geo Boy” Bedding by Sumersault and sells for $130 at Target.com, but I picked it up at a local consignment sale for $40! And it included an extra blanket, a little pillow, and matching wall hangings. It didn’t include the bumpers (I heard it’s illegal to re-sell bumper pads?) but I plan on using light blue breathable bumpers anyway.
His room is really coming together and I hope to have pictures of it soon!

You aren't alone in your fears - we are a week away and its a daily decision to push the fear away and ask God to fight that battle and give me peace. Praying for you & baby Foster
Love his bedding and love your maternity pictures... can you tell me how you make them (with the circle in the background)?
Praying for you and a healthy and happy pregnancy!
I am having the same feelings with this pregnancy! I feel like I happened to get lucky with my last pregnancy went so well something is due to go wrong...
You look beautiful! I love that bedding and what a great deal you got on it!
I delivered my twins super early (would an exact day and week scare you more? I typed it then erased it b/c I don't want to do that.) and I want to tell you they are HEALTHY FIVE-AND-A-HALF-YEAR-OLDS! Yeehaw, it feels good to type that! So ... even in the crazy unlikely case that things go terribly wrong, I wanted you to know that there's happiness in that alternate path, too.
I am so sorry you aren't able to fully (naively?) enjoy your pregnancy. But I do think there's a greater appreciation that comes with the awareness of what could go wrong and how special it is when everything goes right.
I love consignment shops and yard sales for kid gear. Be on the lookout for Moms of Multiples clubs' sales in March and April, then again in September and October, for more great deals!
Hi Katie, such a cute bedding set! How awesome that you found it on the cheap!
I don't blame you for worrying about little Foster but try to keep the faith! He will be just fine! I am so sorry to hear about your friends news, that would scare any pregnant Mama!
Have a happy and healthy New Year!!!
