Our Live Action Figure with promo shots.







ITS A....

Baby!

Yes, we are still having a baby!  We had our 2nd ultrasound today.  Lots of parts accounted for! Sealed in an envelop is our baby's gender!  So exciting!  I can't wait to look at it, but I will.  We're not sure when, but we will live with the anticipation for a bit. It's going to be fun.

Well, I wish I could report that my symptoms have disappeared, but I can't.  I still have nausea and get some bad headaches.  I need that burst of energy everyone talks about so I can get busy!

Today was definitely encouraging though.  I have struggled with emotions of not feeling connected or able to say I was excited in present moments.  I have always been excited that a baby is coming, but when people ask me in the moment, my gut response is no.  It is difficult when a lot of things associated with being pregnant at this point have not been positive.  I have felt guilty about these feelings and have been encouraged by the women that have related to me.

I do send myself to time out sometimes when I know I am too grumpy to be around others :)  I did this other day.  I told Dean I was being too grumpy so I was sending myself up to my room till I could come out happier!  I am still in my room.

Well folks, I will try to update more regularly.  I have been in a bit of dark hole, but today shed some light and helped remind me there was purpose to all this madness!
