Back in February I posted about our trials and tribulations with trying to conceive and have it stick. Well after more than 2.5 years I am very happy to announce that today marks the start of the second trimester of my wife’s pregnancy! I’ve wanted to post about this for a while but forced myself to wait for the start of the second trimester. My understanding is this is kind of the “rule of thumb” when it comes to announcing a pregnancy. Of course our families already know and many close friends. We learned our lesson last time- when as soon as we saw that positive pregnancy test we told everyone- and unfortunately things took a turn for the worse real fast.
This time is different though. We’ve already been kicked out of the fertility clinic- no I wasn’t drunk- they’ve done their job so their work is done. We’ve had two ultrasounds, seen the baby both times (looked like a gummy bear) and heard that racing heartbeat. Actually my wife has an ultrasound machine at her work, so earlier this week she invited me over for a third, unofficial ultrasound! Words can’t explain it; I still catch myself in complete awe with my mouth open and drool dripping off my chin. At least now I finally have a reason when my wife asks WTF? OK serious now- I really am in awe and this is such an amazing time. We still have a long way to go though. My wife’s pregnancy is considered high risk and I’m hearing there is a chance she could go on bed rest late in the pregnancy. So although I’m happy as can be, we’re also a bit nervous and anxious about the months to come.
So wish us luck, or send us prayers, or send us money (preferred). Thanks!
Just in case you couldn't find the baby.
