According to different sources, this is either my last or second to last week in the 1st trimester! I feel relieved, blessed, excited. I confessed to Nick that I feel so overwhelmed to have been entrusted with Adrian, who is the most precious boy in the world, that I've had a hard time accepting that the Lord has blessed us in the same HUGE way once again.
I've know about this little one for nine weeks now, but it has taken quite a while to sink in that another sweet person is going to be filling our hearts and home.
I keep thinking, "we get to keep this baby".
I'm just blessed. No other words to describe it.
I had a doctor's appointment since last update and it went well. I've been going to the same place that I went with Adrian, and this time around it seems that the nurses and midwives are more relaxed around me since I'm a return patient. That's been nice. My lack of morning sickness is not a concern, thankfully, and so I'm starting to take everyone's advice and consider myself lucky. I guess I "got used" to pregnancy being a certain way and it's been sooo very different!
I got to hear the heartbeat at the doctor's this time! The baby was very active - I could hear him/her doing flips and somersaults and the midwife said she was having a hard time catching him/her to hear the heartbeat. It was a strong 160.
I'm sure I felt the baby twice last night. That was exciting! Just little thumps like when I first felt Adrian. I'm so excited to be in this part of pregnancy - I love it!

What a blessing: feeling good, relaxed doctors and nurses, feeling baby move! So happy for you, Abi--thanks for taking us along on your journey. :)
