12.5 weeks!!

I'm officially starting my pregnancy blog.......I've wanted to do this for MONTHS......but now I'm finally secure enough in my pregnancy to do it.

I hope for this to become a memory to save and my baby can read it in the years to come. Just another way to show he/she how loved they were, LONG before conception!!

As you may know, I suffered a missed miscarriage in December 09. This has to have been one of the darkest times in my life. EJ and I were THRILLED to find out we were pregnant in November, and told anyone and everyone we could. On December 7, I was 7.5 weeks pregnant and had my first prenatal appointment. It was on that date that my worst fears came true- my baby had stopped growing one week prior!!!! I was beyond devastated (still am, sometimes).

So this baby is so wanted and needed....... its hard to put that into words...... I think I need this baby more than he/she will need me at times!!

So fast forward to now.......I'm 12.5 weeks pregnant---- have felt GREAT in the last week or rso.....Thankfully my nausea has pretty much halted, food aversions are much less.... I'm still tired, however, but then again I'm always tired even when not pregnant!!!!!!!

I have seen my baby twice on ultrasound and its been an amazing sight. I go back to the doctor on Tuesday!!
