Yay! I am sooooo stinking excited to have moved out of the 1st trimester. Still feeling nausea and the occasional headache, but getting better. This experience has definitely been different from my pregnancy with Jonathan, but not worse (so far...) I am still anxious for the possibility of kidney stones again and so every time I start to feel anything in my back I freak for a minute before I convince myself it isn't the beginning of kidney stones. Wow, I am a worrier! I had another appointment with the OB on Tuesday. I am proud of myself for only having gained one pound since last time, but there is still a long ways to go. I recently looked at pictures of me being 9 months pregnant with Jonathan. I was huge! How come nobody tells you how unbelievably fat you get? And not just my stomach, my face, neck, it just all looks swollen. Ah, the joys of pregnancy. My little sisters always ask me: "do you like being pregnant?" My response is always, "not really" or "nope". I wish I could capture the look of shock and dismay on their faces. "How could you say that about your baby?" I try to explain to them that liking being pregnant and liking having a baby are two totally different things! I love that I am having a baby!
The OB had some trouble finding the baby's heart beat on Tuesday, which put me in panic mode for a minute, but then she powered up the ancient sonogram in the room and did a quick check. Baby was fine just curled up in a spot that she couldn't find with the other sensor. Phew! She printed off another picture for me, but it is horribly fuzzy so no use putting it up here.
This has been a long week filled with work, one teething child, another child requiring a little extra loving attention for whatever reason, and a husband in a difficult term of school. I love the little moments of every day, but sometimes I wish for the "harder" times to pass quickly! Lucky for us there are always countless blessings for our sacrifices:)

I am TOTALLY with you on that one! I truly dislike being pregnant but also LOVE having a baby. It always surprising people too when I say that. I am very jealous of those girls who Love being prego!!
Yay for being in the 2nd trimester! I agree, being pregnant sucks. I would probably have like a dozen kids if I didn't have to be pregnant. I'm seriously thinking about adopting our next kid. I am working hard to get my body back and the thought of being pregnant again does NOT sound appealing. Anyway, the end result is always sooooo worth it though. Looks like you are being kept really busy these days :) Isn't life full of crazy and wonderful blessings?!
