This is around 8 wks 3 days - Feb 24th. Interestingly this was the week my symptoms quit - bbs quit feeling so big and sore, I dropped a pound, and I quit feeling bloated and sick. It could be coincidence or not.

On one hand I feel a sense of peace, and on the other I don't. The fact I still have to deliver this fetus is not a happy thought for me. I will be sure to make a 'birth story' accessible for future reference though. I wish I hadn't said anything to anyone at home. I'd rather have to go through this without having to acknowledge it to anyone else. I don't really want sympathy right now, but last time the bringing of a meal by Sharon the day I got the news was a real blessing. We had pizza tonight. Amazingly I really didn't feel like eating though I had no problem doing it. 

We read scriptures tonight and Aaron opened to the book of Revelations chapter 20. We read through the end of the book, but this verse felt especially poignant:

‎"And God shall wipe away all the tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain; for the former things are passed away" ~ Revelations 20:4
