Blessed

I recently confided in someone that I wasn't very comfortable being pregnant. Not that I wasn't greatful, I was just crawling in my own skin. I wish I would have said that sooner because after that, everything has changed. I feel energy again, not much but enough to where I think I can safely take the local pizza joint off speed dial, I am more comfortable with my growing belly, and I'm finally settling down and feeling myself again, not a hormonal raging pregnant woman. Still weepy, but not as moody.

Although it seems I am constantly starving, and I really hate sleeping on my left side. Oh well, can't fix everything right?

Today was another checkup and Aaron finally got to hear the heartbeat. Amazing. I'm up another two pounds for a total of 6 according to the doctor's scale. We also scheduled our appointment to find out what the gender of the baby is. This is the greatest excitment of our lives. We can't wait to dive into planning the nursery, we just need to know which theme we are going with! Boy or girl...

In the beginning I would have thought boy, and for whatever reason, I now think girl. I simply don't care, it's just going to be so exciting to find out.

Today was truly one of those days that make me count my blessings. I was on my A game all day. A great doctor's appointment, I was certified in a software program today passing with way more points than I needed, I came home and had a lovely-healthy dinner, I actually found time to blog, and now I'm going to surf and find out what the gender of Dazed's baby is, and then I'm going to slip into my pj's and wait for my hubby to get home from work. I am truly blessed.

It's way belated, but Happy New Year everyone. May this be the year you count your blessings too.
