Little Heartbeat

Today we had our doctor's appointment. We were able to hear our beautiful little girl's heartbeat. We asked the doctor tons of questions and he may have been ready to call security to escort us out. We really like our doctor and he answered all our questions. We have another appointment in a few weeks. I have to do the glucose test and get some extra blood work. They have also scheduled another ultra sound. Having Celiac is not a wonderful thing, but it sure has been nice to have all these extra ultrasounds. It is wonderful to get to see our little girl. We are thankful to the Lord, for taking care of her and protecting her.

Pregnancy Blues

I figured while I was sitting here doing nothing, I could post on my blog. I have cleaned the whole house and there is still so much to do. I am nearing the end of my second trimester and I am still so tired. I have had the whole week of school off and and accomplished many tasks, but I feel like have not done anything. I think it could be because things seem very overwhelming. I have been thankful for the time off (we have had alot of snow), because I have been fighting a cold. But today I realized I don't have a cold, this crazy congestion that I have had for several weeks has to be a pregnancy symptom. So I grabbed my What to Expect book, and it looks like I am going to be congested for about 4 more months. So I am congested, tired, have back and side pain, and I can't sleep. I hear it gets worst, but I am still very excited about the little girl that God is forming in my whom. Mark is finally about to leave on his trip. He may leave today or early next week. He packed everything this morning and loaded it in the car expecting to go. Then he fixed the sink, tore down the bed in the office, so I could work on organizing things in their for the nursery, and then cleaned our bathroom. I figured that was his way of nesting because he was going to be gone for so long. Even though I haven't felt fantastic over the last few weeks, I have been able to feel her kicking and pushing away. It has been so strong at points that Mark has been able to feel her too. I have a doctor's appointment on Monday and I am excited to hear her heartbeat. So to sum things up, if you made it through all my complaining, God is good, and we are so excited about our little girl!
