Start of the 2nd Trimester!

Today marks the beginning of the second trimester!!! The possibility of a miscarriage now goes way down, so that is a relief! Whew! I am still tired and sometimes I still don't feel god, but I am hanging in there. I hear that the second trimester is the best part of pregnancy. Bring it on...I am definitely ready to feel better!

My next doctor's appointment is not until March 10th. It's just a monthly check-up, but I will get to hear the baby's heartbeat again. I love it everytime! I'm still in shock over this whole thing, but it is sinking in more and more each day. Jocelyn and I joked last weekend about the idea of pregnancy this past weekend. We both agreed that the common feeling was shock and that the shared phrase at this stage of the game is "So I'm pregnant...at least that's what they tell me!". This is because at this point it all still feels so unreal and to think that there is going to be a wee-one in 6 months, blows my mind a little bit (don't get me wrong, I am happy, excited, etc., but it is still such an amazing thing).

I'll keep you posted on how the doctor's appointment goes. Until then...

A time away

Ben and I are down in Florida right now enjoying some R & R. We decided to visit my grandparents to tell them in person that Ben and I are expecting our first child. They are very excited and we have had a lot of time to catch up and chat about the upcoming events. We leave tomorrow...ah how time flies!

Currently we are almost 12 weeks pregnant!! Only a week and a day until the end of our first trimester. I cannot belive it!! We have gone to the doctor and everything is going great. We even had an ultrasound done, so I will try to get that posted soon. It is quite an amazing thing to see!! We have decided that we are going to wait to find out the sex of the baby until it is born, though. I guess it just adds to the suspense! :)
