God's calling the shots!

Well, well, well...look what has happened while I've been napping and making a comfy home for little BE!
The IVF shots that I had to give myself as well as the ones I have been recruiting family and friends to give me during these 4 treatments are FINALLY OVER!!!! Lat night (4/11/12) was my LAST ONE!!!
With each egg retrieval I got a red "shot box" for all the needles to be properly disposed of....and of course we still have each one over flowing with some of the needles, shots and other little mediciney things. We figured this picture would be great documentation for when we have to have the "do you see what we went through to get you!" conversation! ;) (I'm guessing junior high/high school years!;)
The shot-less nights are a very bittersweet time in our lives! This means that we have graduated from our fertility doctor (last appt tomorrow) and we are moving onto a "normal" OB/GYN! We really just don't know what to do with ourselves!
I really never sat down and thought about being at this point in my pregnancy but I can't count the number of times I have thought about stopping all the shots and just being a "normal" pregnant girl. That time has come and I must admit, I'm scared to death!
"What if they take me off the shots to soon? What if feeling too good means somethings wrong? What if... What if..." is making it's way into my mind more than I would like for it to. As these "what if's..." are sneaking into my mind I find myself leaning on God more often. I know that God hears my thoughts/prayers and that He is making little BE perfectly in His image! Knowing that TRUE FACT brings His peace to me every time! Plus, He already loves BE more than I can ever imagine loving him/her and that gives me peace and comfort in a way I can't explain!
Jeremiah 1:4-5 “The word of the LORD came to me, saying, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart.”
