I wish I had journal'ed last time while I was carrying Ryan. I had no clue how I went through the few weeks up until my first appointment. Perhaps the tendency for bad thoughts were less just because the road getting there was not as painful and that I was younger. But this time around, I need to constantly remind myself to take 'my thoughts captived to Christ'. I need to stop analyzing all the symptoms or non-symptoms daily. I found the following poem and I really need to meditate on it instead of worrying. It is not in my control anyways. I can only pray for this precious life to thrive day by day, week by week. There are 5 more weeks before finding the truth. That sure seems like eternity. But it sure paled in comparison to years of waiting. I just need to relax and pray and rest in the goodness of God.



One thing I craved the same sour/spicy thing as last time. Kimchi is my fav.!
