It's a beautiful day (8w;5d)

"I weigh one gram! I'm developing cartilage and bone this week!"

I love days like today - it's around 19 degrees, blue sky, but not cold enough to make you want to stay indoors.

I'm feeling really positive (and trying to remain so) about the pregnancy. My next scan is just over a week away and I'm trying to keep myself as busy and motivated as possible to pass the time as quickly as I can until then.

I LOVE reading my pregnancy books. I love reading the week by week countdowns they have regarding 'what is happening with your baby this week'. I find it the most fascinating thing ever - if they made a whole novel on a week by week basis, I would read it every week! I know I keep saying this over and over, but it's truly a miracle. The whole process, everything - just... wow. I still have to pinch myself that this is all real, and that I am actually pregnant. The 'stats' say we shouldn't be, that's for sure - so what else can it be but a miracle?? A pure blessing!
