Week 14

Today A and I are celebrating another week with our little babe. Baby H is 14 weeks today and has reached a milestone. We have joyfully entered 2nd trimester! The "morning sickness" has lessened tremendously, I am not nearly as tired as before and I have a tiny baby bump. This week our little one is about the size of a fist, probably my fist, not daddy's :) Also baby is starting to grow hair all over its body. We are going to start taking weekly pictures to show our little one someday his/her growth while in mommy's tummy.

Other than that life has been good. We are entering February tomorrow, which is exciting for me! January has been a long month and I am ready for the month of love. I have some fun events planned at work for my residents and it will be good to focus on those for a bit. A also has an orchestra concert, on Valentine's Day, that is supposedly going to be amazing! So I am looking forward to that also. And hopefully this month, the cold weather will run its final course and begin a warm up in March. I can be hopeful!

My Heart Beats For You

Today A and I had the opportunity to hear our baby's heartbeat for the first time. And it was amazing! That is an understatement, I don't think I will be able to put down words for how it made me feel. Our child's heart was beating inside me, receiving life through me and our babe is growing! It is a miracle, one that only our true and mighty God can provide. I am so thankful and amazed that God has allowed A and I the opportunity to be parents to this little one. Wow! Thank you Lord for this miracle and this blessing to our family!

New Year Full Of Events!

The new year has arrived and it is looking to be an eventful 2009! I am not complaining, but it makes me tired thinking of all that will occur. My bro and his beautiful Lady are getting married in April, which is so exciting! The thought of having a sister on the Rudy side thrills me to pieces and pieces! Welcome Lady to the family!

On their wedding day, Big A and I will be 25 wks pregnant! Our little one is expected around the beginning of August. We are so happy to be blessed with this pregnancy. It has been going well so far. I have been naseauted daily, all day, and am really tired. But this past week has been a bit better. So I am praying that I am movin' on from those symptoms.

Our family will also be moving at some point this year. We are not finished with our apt lease until the end of October, so we have a lot of time before anything final is decided. It will also depend on if I work after our babe is born or if I stay at home. I would like to do both, but we will have to see what the Lord's will is. For now we take it day by day and I try not to worry about it too much!

On a complete different note, my computer has a virus. And that really saddens me greatly and annoys me a bit. Big A and I have been trying to fix it, ok let me rephrase, Big A has been trying to refix it and it is a work in progress. So I don't know if it is saveable. (tear). Also, it is snowing here, again. We set a new record in December for the most snow and already it is snowing in January. I am so looking forward to spring, and to having energy again.

So since it is snowing, I am busy reading some good books, curled under a blanket. Not a bad way to spend a Saturday! I like being home!!
