I realized today that I really need to start documenting this pregnancy! I am already 12 weeks, and before I know it, it is going to be the first week in August and our world is going to be turned upside down!
Things are going very, very well so far. Too well for one of us (read “me”). It is unnerving that I don’t feel pregnant. It makes me worry. I have had no morning sickness, I have gained virtually no weight and all my clothes still fit… mostly. I figured out finally, that this is just not what I expected to feel like when I was pregnant! I expected that I would have a huge baby bump at 5 weeks. I expected that I would be getting sick morning, noon and night for the first trimester. And I expected that I would already have gained 20 pounds by now. I think it’s just taking me a minute to get my mind around the fact that I seem, so far, to have an easy pregnancy. Please don’t think that is a complaint! I know so many of you have struggled, and had varying issues. Somehow, it just feels too good to be true. This just is not what I expected… to feel so, normal.
Thanks to my friend Julie who is good to remind me that it is not the same for all of us, that we each have different experiences. (And you know that I will be calling with lots more questions!!!) : )
Anyway, that is the update for now. All is well and we trust that Bam Bam is happy, healthy and growing just like he should be. We have an appointment at the end of the month, and are looking forward to hearing that precious heart beat! We still covet your prayers that everything goes smoothly and that we will welcome a healthy happy baby in August!
Love,
Melissa
P.S. If you could pray for the Stamps Family... they gave birth to their first child, a girl, last Friday. But she has had serious complications and expected to be in the NICU for a few months. Kelly's blog is here: http://www.kellyskornerblog.com/ , which outlines her whole pregnancy and tells a bit about their story over the last 7 days. This is dear to me on multiple levels... Thanks!
