23 Weeks






Well, I'm 23 weeks along now. Technically, it's more like 23 weeks and 5 days but still. My pregnancy has been pretty "easy." I haven't had any problems so far. My only complaint right now is that I have this persistent cough that won't go away. I'm pretty sure it's allergies and the doctor told me some allergy medicine to take but that hasn't made much difference. It's a bit annoying. Other than that, so far, so good.

Update

I doubt many people read this blog so I don't think that it's a big deal that I haven't updated in FOREVER but I wanted to give a quick update.

The biggest news is that hubby and I are expecting our first child in October! Perhaps when she's born this blog will serve as a way to keep friends and family updated on life with her. (Although I do use Facebook for that stuff a lot.)I've added a Lilypie ticker at the bottom of this page to show how my pregnancy is progressing.

I'm happy to say that I didn't have to deal with "morning sickness" at all in my pregnancy. Yeah! I'm now nearing the end of my second trimester. My pregnancy "symptoms" have been pretty mild the whole pregnancy. Lately I've had a pretty persistent cough but I doubt that has much to do with the pregnancy. However, I do worry how it's affecting the baby.

This is my second pregnancy. In July 2010 I had a miscarriage very early in the pregnancy (I think I was only a few weeks along.). I found out I was pregnant and then about a week later I found out I miscarried. About 6 months later we were able to conceive this child. I'm very excited that this pregnancy is going so well. God willing, it will continue to do so. Admittedly, I do constantly worry about something going wrong this time around. I can't really help it because of the previous miscarriage. So far, we've been REALLY blessed though. I do thank God daily for this wonderful blessing and continue to pray that she grows and develops as she should.
