so glad to be done with the first trimester. it went by fairly quickly and the baby is doing great! we had our 12 week appointment today, which was pretty short and sweet. they did a doppler on my belly to find the heartbeat. it was beating strong and fast...both good signs that the baby is healthy. such a blessing to hear the heartbeat. drew loves it!!! i wanted more ultrasound pictures but we won't get anymore of those until 20 weeks whenever we find out the sex of the baby. i really just wanted to see the difference from 9 weeks to 12 weeks, but we'll just have to wait for another two months : (
the morning sickness is pretty much all gone (thank goodness...i really do enjoy eating on a regular basis). it's really nice not having to worry about how i'm going to feel during the day. the last few days that i get to spend with drew before he leaves should not be filled with nausea and motion sickness. so i'm thrilled that i'm done with that for right now. i can actually start to move around now instead of spending most of my time on the couch. i missed being able to walk my dog and kinda just move in general. i hear that morning sickness can come back in the third trimester and i'm not really looking forward to that one, but it all comes along with being a mom. i can't wait to see the baby and all of this is totally and completely worth it.
i'm gonna miss drew a lot but i hope he has a FANTASTIC time while he's away. he has a blog for his cruise which is:
www.drewscruise.wordpress.com
hopefully he'll keep it updated more than i've been with this one over the past month. i'll probably get better about that once he leaves for the cruise.
love everyone and thanks for all the support that has already been given and keeps coming. it truly means the world to know that our family and friends are standing beside us as we embark on this amazing journey. we love all of you!!
Finally....a blog update...I check like every day! I love the countdown clock at the bottom!! Can't wait to find out if boys or girls are going to take over the kipfer family!! Love you!
ReplyDeleteHello Savannah!! You don't know me--I am Stacey's younger sister (Bre and Briers favorite aunt of all-time) (that's just a joke we have) I am blogger and I was checking up on all my blog buddies and ran into your blog. This will be fun to see the newest Kipfer grow. Glad to hear that you are feeling better. I have 6 kids and was never sick the third trimester--very tired but never sick. Thinking of you will Drew is away. Take care!! julie :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with Julie...I think you are more tired than anything during the third trimester...not sick ;o) Enjoy the second trimester...that's when you feel the best!!
