Pregnancy Journal: month #3

  • Third Month 12/09/09 to 01/09/10: nausea ending, belly growing, second ultrasound…


HAPPY NEW YEAR! This is the year the baby will arrive! Wooohooooo!  And to start out the new year, THE NAUSEA IS GOING AWAY, yay! I’m so thrilled to have an appetite and, although I still have food aversions here and there, I’m managing to eat at least one meal a day and that’s very good progress! No weight gain yet, but my belly sure started to show. Scary how fast is starts to show after the first pregnancy! We also had our second ultrasound and the baby is looking great! The doctor said the baby is so active and from the ultrasound, I could tell I’m in for a rough ride with this one. At 11 weeks, the baby was stretching the arms and legs, sucking its thumb, flipping back and forth, and bouncing, LITERALLY bouncing all over the place. The doctor took almost a half hour to look at everything because the baby wasn’t helping out much. I love that! LOL… very healthy! Lila was active, but definitely not like this; and again, this has caused everyone to tell me “it’s a boy” this time. I don’t really mind if it’s a boy or girl. I figure we can’t lose: if we have a boy, we’ll have the best of both worlds. If we have a girl, Lila and her will be best friends. Dad sort of wants another girl, I think because he sees how Lila’s eyes sparkle when she looks at him and he wants that again… of course, he has no idea what it’s like to have a son, so he says he doesn’t really care about what it is. Personally, I don’t want to find out but dad wants to find out badly. I would like to wait but if I find myself getting too curious I won’t torture myself. We’ll see how it goes…
This was a busy month with all the birthdays and holidays. Christmas was here at home, and it was so much fun. All the kids together just got me more excited to see how it will be next year with the new baby.   :)

After almost two years of trying to conceive and two miscarriages, we finally got our miracle on 4/06/08 - our beautiful baby girl, Lila Grace, was born. Our lives are so full of joy because of her. Little did we know that without any medical involvement, God had a huge surprise in store for us and we had a positive pregnancy test on October 28, 2009. We couldn't be happier! We could not imagine going through all we went through without God's guidance, comfort and His amazing love. We are forever thankful for His grace poured over us and how he fulfilled our dream of becoming parents. We can hardly wait to hold our newest baby in our arms!
