I'm so lucky

A friend of mine posted a link to a blog and I couldn't help but to cry while reading it. A woman lost her her 4 month old baby last week and she and her husband had to bury her today. She didn't say what happened, just that the baby stopped breathing while at the babysitter's and it's still under investigation. After reading all that she had to go through, I feel so lucky to have a healthy baby boy. I don't know what I would do if I lost him. It's hard to believe you can love something so much it hurts but feels so good at the same time. There's no love like the love of being a parent.

I may not have been so emotional on a normal day, but today is not a normal day. I'm 10 weeks into my second pregnancy. I'm slowly getting over morning sickness, which hasn't been that bad. I'm able to keep food down.

I had my 8 week appointment on the 10th. Everything looks normal. The baby's heart rate was in the 150s. I have still have that cyst on my right ovary, but it's nothing the doctor is worrying about so I'm not going to worry.

So far this pregnancy is going exactly like the last: no morning sickness the first month, then morning sickness through the second month, and subsides after that. Also, the heart rate is the same as my first, so I'm thinking I might be having another boy. Which is fine with me, I won't have to buy new clothes! A small part of me wants a girl, but I'll be happy with either.

My 12 week appointment is on 3/10 where I get the pelvic exam and cultures done, oh boy, fun fun.

So for anyone following this blog, I'm going to try to keep up with updates on the baby on here. I'm doing horribly with keeping up with my first's baby book. I haven't written anything down for Christmas yet!
