Nice to See You!

Well, we had our second appointment today!  The good news was that we did hear your very strong heartbeat (185 bpm!) and that the hematoma is almost gone.  Unfortunately, it's still not completely absorbed, so I am still on exercise restriction, which stinks, but you're worth it. ;)  We will come back in on the 22nd to check again.  Hopefully, by then, all will be back to normal.  Your Daddy and I have decided to wait a little longer to share the big news, mostly because we're trying to decide a fun way to do it and because I am still very busy finishing last semester of doctoral classes.  Not much longer, Little One, and you'll be my main focus!

Thankfully, besides being tired (and missing running), I am still feeling pretty good.  I never feel sick, but I often don't feel hungry.  Between that and losing muscle tone from not working out, my weight is actually down a few pounds.  Soon we'll be out of the first trimester and we'll have the excitement of watching you grow in my belly!  Until then, these images from the doctor's office confirmed how much you've already grown!

Looking less like a blob and more like a baby!  :)

Man, technology has improved since your big brother was born!  It's so amazing to see you with such detail.  A perfect little person!

Until next time, Little One!  We love you so much!

Love always,

Momma
