Today is a special day! Not only does today mark and first official day of posting on my new blog, but more importantly, today is the first day of my 2nd trimester!! I have been waiting until my 1st trimester was over to go public with the news and it was so much fun letting the cat of the bag on my Daphne Photo Studio blog yesterday. The responses I got on the blog and on facebook were great and I’m really thankful for all of the well wishes. I’ll piggyback the post on DPS and post the same pictures here.
Our little family of 3…
Is going to be a family of 4!!
I get weekly emails from BabyCenter telling me what’s happening with our little baby each week and I love them. “This week fingerprints have formed, her veins and organs are clearly visible through her still-thin skin, and her body is starting to catch up with her head — which makes up just a third of her body size now. If you’re having a girl, she now has more than 2 million eggs in her ovaries. Your baby is almost 3 inches long (the size of a medium shrimp) and weighs nearly an ounce”. It still blows my mind that all of that is going on inside of me when I can’t feel a thing!
Last Tuesday we had our 12 week appointment and we heard our baby’s fast little heartbeat and it was amazing! Although, quite honestly, I am still waiting for this whole pregnancy thing to completely sink in. Yes I have definitely had the typical pregnancy symptoms over the past 3 months, but something about it still doesn’t feel real. Maybe when my belly grows or I feel the first kick it will feel more real. I also think I have been somewhat guarded ever since we found out due to the high percentage of miscarriages in the first 12 weeks. I had no reason to believe I would have a miscarriage, but the scare is always in the back of your mind because there is no much about your pregnancy that you just have no control over. I feel so blessed to be past that point and I’m looking forward to fully enjoying the 2nd trimester – which I hear is the best time of the whole pregnancy. God is so good and I know the bond I have with my baby will grow much stronger now that I have let my guard down and that nagging worry is not in the back of my mind anymore :)
