JOURNAL So far...posted on 07/23/2008 As many of you know, this is our 2nd pregnancy. Our first little one didn't make it past 6 or 7 weeks in my belly. That was last June. It was a difficult time for us as you can imagine and we put off baby making after that. We decided to focus on other things so I enrolled in a nursing program, Kevin busied himself in the basement of our love shack finishing it off. We have been working towards paying off debts and building a nest egg. And we have really been "living" life which has been incredible fun. In May of this year we were surprised to learn we had made another baby (almost exactly 1 year later). It was bittersweet. We both want a family but after last years loss we were afraid to get excited. This pregnancy has really shaken up life for us but one thing we've learned is to take each day as it comes. We keep our fingers crossed everyday that things will work out differently this time around! First visit with the OB was May 16th everything went fine. Mostly just a consultation and collection of family histories and pregnancy histories. May 30th we were able to listen to the heartbeat for the first time!! Kevin joined me at the visit and it was so amazing to hear that sound. It literally brought tears to my eyes. Kevin being the romantic he is offered me a high five! After the heartbeat visit, we rented a doppler of our own from an online store. It has been so cool to be able to share the heartbeat with family and friends and what a relief to be able to listen whenever we choose. At this point, I am feeling great. We are currently at 17 weeks and in our 5th month! Almost 1/2 way there!! Next visit at the OB July 25th!! That's this Friday. Check back to find out how things went! |
