Ramblings

So just some things on my mind. First off, it seems I am finally getting a LITTLE better. Mind you little is the word here. I still get hit with the puke bug every so often, but my energy levels are starting to pick up, which have hit such a low I never thought it possible that I could be that tired all the time! But I am finally getting to some things that have needed to be done around here.
Also I got to see the baby again yesterday. It's just amazing that this baby is growing inside of me at such a fast rate, but really there is no physical sign of it! I can't wait until I feel the kicks and rolls and all of that fun stuff. Yesterday it was huddled against my placenta and just didn't want to give us a good shot. But that is okay. I just hope when DH finally gets to come on the 13th that the baby is a little active. Maybe I will cheat and drink a little juice before we go. :)
I can't believe that in a few days I will officially be in the 2nd trimester. I just can't say enough how amazed I am that this pregnancy has gone so smoothly. The last one was just chaos...I never felt morning sickness or any of the other symptoms in early pregnancy which should have been a giveaway that something was up. It's been a year since we lost the first baby, and sometimes I just can't believe that here I sit pregnant again with a so far healthy baby growing inside of me. It's just amazing. God is just so good...
I haven't really had any growing pains this week, which is surprising considering how big my uterus has gotten in just over a week. (I love how I talk about these parts of the body like its an arm or a finger...hahaha the joys of infertility). We are also able to find the heartbeat on the doppler a ton easier. I still don't think we are getting an accurate reading on the numbers because its in the background and you have to hold the doppler up to your ear to hear. Its a lot easier to have someone else help you though I have found, and DH enjoys listening to it too.
Anyhow, just ramblings for the day. I hope everyone enjoys the holiday weekend! No major plans here, just spending time with DH which is VERY needed! I'm grateful to live in America. I know I take it for granted, but I really do feel so blessed to live my life the way I see fit! Happy 4th of July! :)

  1. I'm so excited for you Tami. I can't believe that you are already this far along. The updates have been great and it's fun hearing what's happening. I would be just as nervous as you in this situation but I hope the doppler you got brings you lots of comfort.

  2. Isn't it amazing how life works? You didn't do anything and got pregnant. Makes you wonder why now instead of before, right?? I'm excited for you. I think for someone who had struggled to get pregnant it is normal for all those nerves. I know I didn't have to suffer as much as you did but I think because I did several rounds of IUIs before i got pregnant and had to take medicine it made me more paranoid that things weren't going to last but they did and everything is great. It's awesome news!! and I'm so excited for you! Congratulations Tami!! I felt my baby move around 15 weeks... hopefully you do too!!! YAY for you!!!! YAY YAY YAY!!!
