It is time. Time to relax and enjoy this pregnancy. Yep, I said pregnancy. I know some of you faithful blog readers already spotted my pregnancy ticker at the top of the page. I just put that up a couple weeks ago. As you can see, I am 18 weeks along.
When we lost Olivia last May and decided to start trying again this fall, I thought for sure I would use this blog as a way for me to get my thoughts and anxiety out of my head and on the page. To share this journey with those of you that were so supportive in the last year plus. But when the time came and we found out we were pregnant again, I couldn't do it. I thought, what if I lose the baby early? I will just wait to share. Then I started spotting and I thought for sure that was it. But everything was fine and we continued on this journey.
We had many appts and many ultrasounds in those first few weeks. Everything was progressing as it should. I started on blood thinner shots. We met with the high risk pregnancy doctor. After each appointment, I would think about blogging and again thought, no, can't yet.
We had an appointment a week and a half ago and heard the heartbeat. It was music to our ears. Felt so good to hear that heart beating and not just see in on the screen with the multiple ultrasounds we have had.
I have had a lot of anxiety as the days in between appointments just seemed to drag on and on. But lately I have felt a lot more movement. Feelings that I cannot deny anymore. Can't blame it on gas or any of the many other things I would say it could be. Nope, definitely feel the little jelly bean in there moving around. Thanks be to God!
So, since I have been feeling more movement I have allowed myself to get a little more excited. To wonder if it is a boy or a girl. To be more excited than anxious for our ultrasound next Wednesday! I do like this feeling much better.
Now that the cat is out of the bag, I am taking you along for the ride. Hope that it is a ride with a happy ending!
