I promise this post is not about tax safe harbor :) I had a checkup with my OBGYN on Thursday, and got to see the baby & a good strong heartbeat. So we have shared our news with our friends and family, since our risk of miscarriage has dropped significantly. It is a relief to be able to address those looks that say "are you pregnant again, or just getting fat?" with a reassuring "no, I AM pregnant and therefore getting fat". I hate keeping secrets anyway, so it is nice that I no longer have to watch what I say.
I think that I may have avoided getting excited over the pregnancy due to fear of miscarriage. Now I need to relax and get excited because the alternative (thinking about having 4 kids 5 and under in my ever shrinking home) just might cause a stress induced miscarriage! I can't wait to add the second floor to our home. We are hoping to do so in 3 years or so. We definately need the space!
So 11 weeks and counting. In 2 more weeks I will officially be out of the first trimester and will update on weight gain & add new photos.
