12 weeks

I had an ob appt yesterday and all is well. She said that I measured just a few days further along so she did an ultrasound in the office. It was really great to see the baby again. I could not ever tire of looking at my sweet baby's heartbeat. I'm really just so darn happy that it has one. :-) I know that seems silly but given my past and most recent happenings this year, I am just so incredibly thankful for every day that goes by and this baby holds on tight.

This appt entailed the whole physical and all went by quickly and without any problems at all. I only had 2 concerns and one was that I am already getting so big. Hence the ultrasound, which showed just a few days ahead of schedule but she said that was perfectly normal. The other concern was my headaches that I seem to have developed in the last 2 weeks or so. We discussed that it could simply be all of the extra estrogen that my body is developing right now, or it's possible I was low on iron... although my blood tests did turn out ok. So she said that if they continue then I am to go to my regular dr to find out why I am having them. So in a couple weeks if they don't go away then I will do that. Other than that, this baby and I are doing fabulously! Thank you for all your prayers and support. Blessings to you all.

Daddy's gone

Yesterday my dear husband had to leave for a 2 and a half week business trip. He went to Oklahoma. He has to do some tool training. Sounds completely boring to me.... And I am none to happy that I am left at home pregnant and to solely take care of our nearly 3 yr old. All I have to say is THANK THE LORD for my sister. There is no way I could do this without her. She is taking good care of us.
I have been telling Josiah since yesterday that Daddy is in Oklahoma. We have been trying to get him to say it but it sometimes has been coming out as just "homa". So then my sister asked Josiah as we were leaving her house today "where's daddy?" He promptly answers "Homo!" LOL Kids say the funniest things! I just get a kick out of him sometimes. :-) Thank the Lord for funny kids!
Mood swings and headaches galore today. So much so that when I got from work I sat in my sister's kitchen and just cried. I don't even remember why at this moment but this being alone tonight in a quiet house is not helping either. Well, this too shall pass and we will get through it. If you think of us send up a prayer for our family.
Blessings to you all.

10 Week ultrasound

I had a dr's appt yesterday and it went terrific. I'm sure many of you know I have been worried about this pregnancy, but when I saw my little one's heartbeating and waving at me all my fears melted away. It was the most awesome feeling! I cried the whole way home and as soon as I saw my sister I just wanted to hug her! I can't really describe my feelings but just know that I am happiest woman on earth today! :-) (sniff, sniff... sorry crying here)

I am now 10 weeks pregnant. My morning sickness comes and goes. This week it has decided to manifest itself back to mornings. As soon as I eat breakfast I have to run to the bathroom... it's like an almost immediate eject response turns on. ICKY! I have managed to keep most of my breakfast in some days though. :-) Other than that, all is well. My dear hubby and I can definitely see some difference in my lower abdomen. Probably not anybody else though... except for dear sister. She said she can see it too. So very soon I will start posting those oh so lovely belly shots that I know everyone loves to look at. :-)

But this time I plan to post a picture of my truly lovely and amazing baby! He or she is upside down in the picture. So the big blob at the bottom is the head and then the body comes up from there and then the arms and legs stick out from there. Use your imagination and your will see him/her. :-) He/she is 29mm long... or about an inch and a 1/4.















Blessings to you all!
