So, I realized I haven't officially announced my pregnancy here on my blog, so.....
I'm pregnant :)
I announced it on facebook a while ago, but I figured if you don't have a FB you might not know.
Today is a day of mixed emotions. Today is the due date of
this baby. It would be much more difficult to deal with, I think, if I wasn't pregnant again.
I lost the first baby back in July, and was able to conceive again in October - as quickly as possible, according to my doctor. After a couple of bleeding scares and an emergency ultrasound back in November, things are going much more smoothly now. I am currently about 19 weeks, and next week we find out the gender of the baby.
To be honest, I am very excited to find out whether we will be expecting a boy or a girl, but I am also worried that they will find something wrong at that appointment. Last week I taught my biology students about genetic disorders, and ever since then I have had all of those swimming around in my mind.
Kleinfelters?
Downs?
Turners?
Cri-du-chat?
The possibilities are endless! Ah!
I know I must have faith that all will work out for our good.... I do really believe that. I just think about the worst possible scenario I guess...
This is a picture of me at about 16 weeks. I have more pictures, I just haven't uploaded them yet....but I will! My baby bump is definitely more obvious now.
Stay tuned for more updates!
