Second Trimester, Here We Come!

Well, we've finally made it to 13 weeks, which is the gateway into the supposedly 'most comfortable' trimester of pregnancy: the second trimester! Mark and I are feeling so blessed that we've been able to make it this far...one down and two to go.

This week, my mom has been here helping us out sooooooo much! She's been cooking, cleaning, playing with Sam, taking Charlie for walks, you name it. Unfortunately, she has to get back to her own life in Florida next week, so we won't be spoiled much longer. Sniff, sniff.

I've been feeling still pretty icky, but finally got off some antibiotics that I think was contributing to the yuckiness. My doctor also prescribed a new medication that (fingers crossed) seems to be helping with my migraines without the horrible side effects I'd been having. Hooray!

Sam and Mark are doing pretty well. We've had some fits here and there, but he's hanging in there. Sam's doing OK, too (teehee). Sam is loving his preschool and is extremely excited to be going trick-or-treating next weekend for Halloween. Mark and my mom are trying to prepare Sam's 'big boy' room for him to move into, but have run into a roadblock with some water-damage in our wall near the window (great).

I've been feeling little blips, flaps, and tickles from these twins for the past few weeks now...I'm very lucky to get to feel them so early. I had a GREAT ultrasound yesterday which showed two growing, very healthy and active little babies! It was so fun to watch them spin and punch and kick. What a miracle! But the best news was that they couldn't seem to find my internal bleed anymore. It doesn't mean that it's not hiding somewhere in there, but the fact that it would be small enough to 'disappear' fantastic news for us!!!!

So, I'm hoping to ease my way into the land of the living a little more these next few weeks, and even plan to see a couple of my clients next week!

Thanks so much to everyone for their continued prayers and support. I'll continue to update how things are going. We're hoping we have cleared at least one hurdle with this pregnancy, knowing that there will be more to cover!
