Baby Frazer update and personal thoughts

Hello dear friends and family who are staying updated! Drew and I had our 21 week check up today and, well, it was amazing. We got to have our big ultrasound (we chose not to find out the gender) and we got to see a little hand waving at us, feet, all four chambers of the heart, and healthy brain, a sweet face, little legs and everything. We even got to see the baby sucking with its little mouth. Right now I am almost in tears as I think about this little miracle. God is so good and so merciful to let this baby grow strong up to this point. We are just asking Him to continue to allow this baby to be healthy and full of joy, and to prepare us for the day s/he enters the world. I am more ready than every to meet this precious gift, but LORD willing not for another 19 weeks!
I am learning so much during this whole process. My body is changing so much that I just have to keep remembering that I am pregnant and it is GOOD to have a continually growing belly. I am so thankful for the changes, because God is creating a safe place for this baby. I am also in this process of "mourning" the loss of my time with Drew. I can't express how thrilled I am for this baby to join our lives, both Drew and I are, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE my husband so much and its a little sad to think that I won't have him all to myself anymore. I think this is a good sadness to be feeling. I love Drew! He is the greatest husband of all time, and I am so excited to do this together! Now you know what's going on in my mind these day...

Please pray

Yesterday we found out that some dear friends of ours, Justin and Kristin , lost their 2 month old baby, Kara. Kara was born with only 1/3 of her brain and that had anticipated a short life for her...possibly 6 months. Would you join with Drew and I in praying for this sweet family. This is their first baby. Kara is now home with the LORD, which we rejoice in, but we are so saddened for the heartache that Justin and Kristin are experiencing.

Half way there!

Today I am 20 weeks pregnant...and counting! Its so fun to think that I am half way through. I can't imagine the changes that will happen in the coming weeks. Right now I feel the baby pretty frequently. It feels more like bubbles popping in my belly...so sweet. Tuesday, December 16th we go in for our big ultrasound. We've decided not to find out what we are having, but we can't wait to at least see its face and little fingers and toes. I love being pregnant, and am so thankful for every little movement and every day we have this baby.

Tis the season for baking

Well, here are two of my most recent accomplishments. On the left is my post Thanksgiving pumpkin pie and on the right is a cake I decorated for cake class. I have been taking cake decorating classes for the past couple months...I figured I needed a hobby of some sorts. Baking is my outlet so I thought I should try and make it look good, not just taste good.
