2nd Trimester

I had hoped to do a blog like this from the very beginning of pregnancy but it just hasn't turned out that way. Sometimes it still doesn't seem real! Lee and I feel very blessed to be having a little one. We thought we might have some trouble getting pregnant due to certain circumstances but after a couple months of "kind of" trying but not really...BAM! It happened. That shows that you should never doubt the Lord! We are soo excited though. We are 17 1/2 weeks along. The whole thing has been a breeze for me! I almost feel guilty saying I have had no sickness or any of the other nuances that come with the first trimester. I said almost. Lee has still been pampering me and spoiling me rotten. He gives me foot and back massages all the time and he is a huge help around the house. He also cooks for me several times a week. I really did get me a good one! I'm finally starting to show a little bit. Lee took my first belly picture last night. Several areas are growing! Ha! I had been anxiously waiting finally feeling the baby move. And the other night it happened! I don't sleep at night anymore. I am usually awake sometime betwen 2 and 3 in the morning so I decided I needed a hobby or a project to work on. So I have started crocheting a blanket for the baby. So it was a typical night. Up at 3 am crocheting and watching infomercials and I felt something. At first I though I was hungry because it felt like a tummy rumble. I knew it couldn't be that though because I had eaten a large dinner. I kept feeling it and FINALLY figured out that it had to be the baby. It is the strangest and most adorable feeling in the world. That finalized it for me! This is really happening and I get a little more excited every day. I can't wait until Lee can feel it too. This week is Thanksgiving and I am thankful for so many things but this year I have to say that I am most thankful for this blessing that God has bestowed upon us!
