Today has been a day of crazy mixed emotions. I'm so happy that I'm pregnant, but I also feel sad that there are so many people who want it just as badly as me, and it's not fair that sometimes it's difficult. I feel selfish asking God to watch over me and my baby when there are so many who need those prayers more than me. All the babies born into disease and starvation, and those that are lost too early... sometimes I wonder how things like that are even possible. Coping with loss and difficult times is so hard and not being able to help or say anything to fix it is so frustrating. I know without sadness we would never feel joy, but that doesn't make it any easier. Tonight I am praying for everyone who has had to suffer through the loss of a child, no matter what the age, hoping that God gives them strength.
In other news, we made our first trip to the National Zoological Park. It was actually really nice! We saw tons of animals including pandas, gorillas, lions, tigers, wallabys, elephants, and a komodo dragon. Most were pretty close up, which was cool (yes the apes in this picture are walking right over my head).
There were a lot of people so we had to park a few blocks away since the lots were full, but the walk wasn't too bad and it was definitely worth it. We are definitely looking forward to going back again. There were a bunch of things we didn't even get to see and we were there for at least a few hours.
Kai was up and down today. He enjoyed seeing some of the animals, but didn't really get a proper nap today and so was extra fussy when it came to listening to mommy. Next time I think we will try to get there really early. I think Kai would be in a better mood and I think the animals might wander around more if there was less of a crowd. Tomorrow I will call my ob to make my 1st appointment.
