Fun Memories
When we were in Florida, we had some professional pictures taken with my grandparents. I feel so blessed that we got have ones taken with all of my sisters and the great-grandkids!! Enjoy!
10.2 Weeks
This is a picture of a baby about 10 weeks old....just as old as our baby is right now. Today I had my first actual appointment with my doctor.....FINALLY! She said everything is measuring according to my dates, so for now we are keeping the due date at November 7th. We are going to wait to do an ultrasound until the 18-20th week, so a couple more months to go. I was super excited though because I got to hear the heartbeat today.....loud and strong!!! For about two weeks now I have been feeling very nauseated, tired and sick. I get a horrible metallic tasting tongue that causes gagging reflexes all day long and smells....UGH. Since I got back from Florida, life has been interesting.....my Lent and Easter were different than I had planned and I tried really hard to offer so much of it up and accept that this is how it was supposed to be this year....it is hard for me to "let go" of plans and expectations and even harder not to be staying on top of cleaning, laundry, meals etc. I am finding it hard to remember how it felt to go to bed without heartburn, open the fridge without having to plug my nose, drink and eat anything that sounds or tastes good, feel like I have energy, not have to focus on taking deep breaths so I don't throw up....ah, the joys of early pregnancy!!! I have to say that I am so blessed to have an incredible hubby. He has been cook, grocery shopped, Mr. Mom, nurse and so much more and working his normal full days on top of it all. He keeps telling me that we will get through this and that I just need to do what works for me and the baby right now. So please keep us in your prayers that I start to feel better soon and that this little one continues to grow healthy and strong. The girls are loving pointing to my belly and saying baby and giving it kisses. It will be a fun adventure but a part of me just already can't wait for November!! (I am not one of those people that love being pregnant, can't you tell?) But as my mom keeps reminding me....just to look at the two sweet faces I get to see each day and remember there is another one inside...so today with that thought and the sound of the heartbeat, I am trying to keep it in perspective and thank God for all His blessings....now off to eat some saltines and take a nap!!
