Bump Update: 4 Weeks

Hello everyone and welcome to my first update. As promised, I will be doing an bump update once a month. Here I am at 4 weeks pregnant:   According to Babycenter here is what my baby is doing at 4 weeks pregnant: “Right now your baby is an embryo the size of a poppy seed, consisting of two layers: the epiblast and the hypoblast, from which all of her organs and body parts will develop.

Happy Birthday To ME!!

Well ya’ll this is it. My last year in my twenties is gone. When I look back at my life and see what it has become I can say that I have been blessed. There have been many mistakes in my life no doubt, but those mistakes made me stronger and who I am today. Every year I like to look back and make a list of what I am thankful for. 1. I’M ALIVE AND HEALTHY! This is a major blessing. I know many others (whom I pray for) who are sick. Not only in their bodies but in they minds. And here I am, 30 years old and healthy.

They surround me with much love and take me for who I am. My husband is my high school...
