14 weeks

Well, we are officially in our second trimester...I'm so glad to FINALLY be here!  The last week or so have been really good.  The morning sickness has gone away, and I am getting more energy.  I went to our 14 week check-up and you sounded really good.  So far, I have gained almost 10 pounds this pregnancy...which is the same amount that I lost just before getting pregnant. :)  I have started to feel you fluttering here and there.  Nothing consistent, but when I do, I enjoy every second of it!  I continue to have horrible heartburn...they say you get it early with each pregnancy, so now wonder I have been popping the Zantac for a few weeks now!  Haven't had any strange cravings...just wanting salty foods over sweets...which isn't at all normal for Mommy! I have made our 20 week ultrasound appointment for Feb. 4th, so hopefully you will cooperate, and we will find out if you are a boy or a girl.  I had a dream a few weeks ago that you are a boy...I dreamed with your siblings what they were and my dreams were right, so we will see if I am four for four. 

Well, I am going to go to bed.  Daddy is at church with the youth having a lock-in, and I am coming down with a cold, so I should get some sleep...your siblings aren't going to slow down just because I don't feel well.  Know that you are loved very much, and we can't wait to see you on the ultrasound in just a few weeks.
