The Brewers - Josh, Dana & Ruth

So momma is getting bigger and we are now 29 weeks along and we realized that we are overdue for some belly pictures.

So this whole pregnancy has been one of the most amazing experiences for me personally. I am learning so much and I am feeling things I have never felt before. This is quite an experience!
But in all the books and in all the talks with friends there is this weird thing that happens that no one really can put into words. I guess I can only describe it as the moody blues. My emotions and my senses go completely out of whack and I feel myself lose control. It is crazy and I am sure each woman experiences this differently. I tend to cry a lot and retreat to my own solitude (usually the car). I know it is all part of the hormones, but gosh I am excited to feel a little more myself again. Don’t get me wrong….I love, love, love this little girl growing inside of me. She has been my constant joy throughout the hard times and my amazing husband who never ceases to amaze me. He truly does love me unconditionally, through good times and bad times. I can’t imagine doing this alone. I know that this will all pass but it is good to express this and I hope that others will be able to relate. The best thing I have found is to find that one person, who ever it may be, and be so honest it hurts. I promise it will help!!!!

Yes! That is the best title I have ever written. But it’s true. Seriously.

This last week we went to a birthing class at the UCSD Medical Center’s Birthing Center where we will have our beautiful baby girl. We talked about a bunch of stuff and watched a video. The thing that impressed me the most is how amazing the uterus and placenta is. God was seriously thinking on this one.

What an amazing environment - life generating, process regulating, cozy gestating.

The female body is a wonderous mystery.

Thank you, God.
