Here is the post you have all been waiting for. You are saying to yourself, “What’s the deal? She tells us she is pregnant and we don’t hear a word about this new baby.” Without further ado, meet Jojo. (I decided we needed to give the baby a name, and Alyssa picked it out)<\/p>\n

8 weeks<\/em><\/p>\n

11 weeks<\/em><\/p>\n

Okay, so I have done this four times now, but I was truly amazed at how much the baby grew in three weeks. At 11 weeks, we are still only talking about 1.5″ long, but the picture seemed to show a true jump in size. I just don’t think you ever get comfortable with the idea of pregnancy. The whole miracle of it all. I am still amazed when I see that form on the screen.<\/p>\n

I visited with my doctor last fall. I scheduled a consultation with her and we just talked about Noah and what I may want out of another pregnancy. I really liked her from the first visit. She had the right balance of compassion, professionalism and knowledge. I am able to treat this pregnancy however I want, really. I am not considered hi-risk, I wasn’t with Megan either. But I told her that I may need the extra monitoring toward the end for my peace of mind…then again I may not. Either way, so far I am very satisfied with my care and the office.<\/p>\n

As of today, I am 14 weeks along. If I stop to think about it, I guess I have felt better in the last 2 weeks. For the last 10 or so, I have felt worse than with any of the others. Which doesn’t say a lot, because I was not a bit nauseated with the others. This one hit me different though… manageable, just annoying really.<\/p>\n

Alyssa is calling the baby a boy and is really wanting a brother “on Earth”. We have had the conversation that God may decide we need another girl, but we can drive that home if we find out it is a girl. Until then, I may just let her hope it is a boy — her and her Papa. So for now, everything is good on the baby front. I will continue with the 4 week checkups and will keep you all posted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
