17 WEEKS TODAY!!
I have made to 16 weeks, a place I never got to reach with Elvis, and now I am beyond that milestone. It is surreal to be carrying another little being inside my womb. I really never thought it would happen. I was convinced that Elvis was to be my only biological child. I feel so blessed to have another baby inhabiting me, deciding that I am a good place to begin life, and choosing to stay with me so far.
We are so lucky to have a great doctor this time around too! We got to have an ultrasound this week to check my cervical length and take a peek at the baby. Wow! It was a good one. Ray giggled most of the time as he watched this little he or she jump all around inside my belly. We are still determined to not find out the gender just yet but I will say it is getting very hard to resist. (oh and FYI my cervix was all good)
I am happy to say that I also am feeling little kicks, even as I write this, and have been since around 13 weeks. I am so thankful for this strong healthy baby, I love it so much already. I will say that I still am very paranoid and super cautious about everything. I just want everything to go right this time. So far it has already been a much easier pregnancy but I know that it doesn't guarantee anything. I choose to remain positive though and I know that I do not get to decide the outcome of this pregnancy but I sure do have a good feeling about this one. Hang in there little ducky just 23 more weeks to go!
