Our Third Baby

We are so blessed to be having another baby. I feel like I am more cautious with this pregnancy then with my last two. It stems from finding out about Emma's heart issue while pregnant and hearing an irregular heart beat with Abby at 32 weeks. I feel like the minute I let my guard down someone is going  to give me bad news. It is not a feeling I like and I wish it would pass but it probably will not until this sweet baby is in my arms. At times I still feel like I have a hard time sharing the news, not because I am not happy but because I am worried something could go wrong. I will still try and pick out clothes that hide my bump but that is becoming difficult. I do want people to see me as a pregnant lady and be happy for us. I am just trying to let myself get to that point. I love the idea of planning for this little one and creating a special room for him or her. So far our ultrasounds have looked great. At 16 weeks they were able to get a good picture of the heart and it looks wonderful. All four chambers are established! We will go back at 20 weeks and I hope we get nothing but great news. I pray that all my appointments are uneventful and that this child never has to see a specialist of any kind.

I can imagine how worried you must feel. I will be praying that this baby is perfect in every way. Things will be fine. Just take a deep breath and relax and let that baby bump show girl! It goes by really fast, so enjoy every second of it. He/She looks so sweet in those ultrasounds. What a lucky baby to have such caring parents!

Oh, and taking close looks at those ultrasounds to figure out the sex. ;) I don't know how you can not find out! I would go crazy! lol

It sounds like everything is going well so far, I am sure it will continue. I'm with Brandy, I don't know if I could not find out the sex!!
