2nd Trimester

So, I wanted to share one of the most exciting moments of my life. Today we heard the baby's heartbeat. I know that we saw it but that was more like looks at something alien or foreign. I felt like my baby was communicating to me for the first time. I am so excited. He/She is healthy and strong, and growing just the way that s/he should. Now that it has finally sunk in that I will be a mom, now comes the new concerns that I haven't allowed myself to ask because I was so scared. Questions like, what are we gonna do once the baby comes, then there are the practical functional questions like, how do I make sure that I am able to breast feed if I have to work too. Or, how do I select a pediatrician? We also need to get into a bigger place, and I want to have a nursery for the baby. How do I tell the people that I have been waiting to tell?
     I am excited for my Birthday February 22 because I am getting my official ultra-sound that day. What a great Birthday present, Happy Birthday to me. We will find out if the baby is a boy or girl then. Until then I want to know that everyone else thinks we will have. Boy or girl? Let me know! I am so excited, and you know what I am starting to feel better too!
